Winning the play-offs or even getting to the final, is only a little to do with quality, even though having a good team obviously helps. Like most cup competitions it's much more to do with keeping most of your 'best' players available, the luck with the draw, bounce of the ball, being lucky with the odd decision [or two and it just being your day.

Why do I suspect you knew that already..It is a J & D though..

The officiating of last nights game was nothing short of disgraceful - even "sky ref pundit" Cummins was perplexed by some of the decisons!!

Catalans did look knackered in the 2nd half but i didn't think much of Saints - i expect them to get well beaten next week by the winners of tonights game - i'm going for Wigan but it could be close..

Lets just hope the game is not spoilt with incompetence from the officials like last night!!

This play off series has been poor when you consider Leeds, the challenge cup winners, lost to Catalan who then went on to lose to a very ordinary Saints team, having beaten a very ordinary Huddersfield in between. Saints, although without three of their best players through injury, have the weakest squad to make a grand final that I can remember. I think whoever plays Saints in the final will beat them.

I literally don't even know who's in the playoffs that's the monumental level to which I've turned my back on Superleague. Starbug would be very proud.

strange how just this ordinary team finished top and won the lls...then go on to appear in the grand final..(without 3 of their key players) for most of the season!......you just keep right on thinking son..

Same here. I didn't even know there was a game on last night.

I only have eyes for the NRL at the moment. Agent Provocateur would be proud.

It's looking like a Cas v Wakey final.

You've gone native already! I expect reference only to Super Duper League from now on

It's ordinary relative to your previous squads in the last two decades. Can you honestly say that your current squad is as good as any of the Grand Final squads that you had from 2006-2011? I doubt it. Is it as good as the squad you had for the Grand Final in 1999, 2000 or 2002? I doubt it.

no i agree with you about our squad...but with a bad squad or not we finished top and reached the grand final...so what does it say about all the teams that finished beneath us?
all their good squads did them no good whatsoever!..(our 2006 achievements will never be bettered in my opinion when we won everything) this squad compared to that is dire....same as the bulls ..what a team you used to have with the paul bros..volcano..etc...and it really saddened me to see you go down because ive had some good times and banter when i used to visit odsal..what annoys me is the warrington and the pies fans seem to think theyve won it already..anything can happen in a one off game..and if we lose again what a record we will have...all those grand final losses..( a record no one wants)..lol...anyway hope you lot bounce back up at the first attempt back in the superleague where you really belong...good luck for next season..

OOhhh you can't say that!! SL gets better and better [ievery[/i year- 'it's as simple as that,' ©Stevo

Too right. And I also have taken to spamming RL world on twitter whenever they mention superdooperleague. I'm going to be a persistently irritating, obstructive, petulant, abusive, irksome and immature get of a Bradford fan for the whole time we are out of the Super dooper pooper scooper cutey flutey bumhole league.
