| Beaten today and thoroughly beaten in every element of the game. Not by Leeds, but by Huddersfield.
The lineup today is a glimpse of our future, no Long, no direction and so few yard making forwards (We've got one). I'm sure we'll still be one of the stronger sides in the competition as we'll still have a solid 17, but we're lacking in key positions and areas now (No pace, no kicking game, no forward dominance). I think we may well have seen the last of regular trips to major finals.
Hopefully this will bring some passion back to KR. And for me Super League is as wide open as it could possibly be. I think Leeds v Giants at OT, with Leeds sneaking it, but next season you could literally toss 8 or so sides into a a hat and draw out the winners.

| at least give hudds some credit! They played their backsides off, and frankly, just looked like they wanted it far more than your boys today.

I have sang their praises in other threads, such as the game thread.

Its not often you can say this, but St`s had the look of a team that thought they simply had to turn up to win today. Where-as you could tell that each and every Hudders player really wanted that game today. They ran their blood to water and worked their backsides off, to make up for the many mistakes that were made. It`s going to be a very tough final in a couple of weeks.

| We don't even have the excuse of wet weather. But yes, there was a lack of creativity when we were in their half (apart form Eastmond solos), but Hudds did defend magnificently, given the number of times they turned over the ball to us.

We don't play well in the sunshine. In overcast conditions we're unbeatable. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

| End of an era! MY bum its the end of your era. Your all mad.
Saints have many experienced players who will be there for a while yet and many young players coming through in the right positions at the right time.
LONG! he has been poop at times this season and you have still won.
You 'may' have a quiet year next year but the year after you will be fine.

| What's happening to you is what happens to all great teams in the end; you have lost the core of your team, who were head and shoulders above the opposition only a couple of years ago.
You've had a great run in the cup, and you've consistently been the best team in SL.
The challenge now is not to go the way of Wigan, who are mediocre, with lazy players and a single idea coach.

We are actually not far off a good team really, 2 players and a good coach.
