Great result for the Wire. Saints have been found out since teams realised they have a poor mans Graham Appo at fullback and a Jamie Foster clone at scrum half.

not really, this is still ostensibly smiths team, this year is a free hit in terms of whatever happens. After last year everything is a bonus

Don't think it should be thought of as a free hit. Wire haven’t won a GF and been a few years now for the CC. With the 2 teams who have dominated those competitions in recent years out of the picture this season then this year was/is a real opportunity to do something (like Catalans did)

It's so easy for you to say, after all, how many finals have Leeds, Wigan & St's been involved in over the last twenty years?

You as supporters have become so blase about getting to the G.F. & heaven forbid if you fail then it's been a poor season.

I would just like to see another group of supporters feel the elation that you must have felt on seeing your team lift the trophy for the first time in living memory, that is if you can remember? After all your success, it must have dimmed by now.

As for teams rolling over, Leeds haven't done a bad job this year mind.

Which 2 Teams are they?

no, no one was tipping us for anything this year, first season with a new coach instilling a new ethos after us being pathetic and ending up in the qualifiers, with a halfback marquee signing that had rumours about going home from pre season which ended up saying he wanted out. Losing the first 5 games of the season.

No one was expecting anything like what we've done so far, it's all a bonus.

I would suggest Hull (CC) and Leeds (GF)

Man for man, especially if you include Curry, you are as good as nearly any team in SL & should be up there competing.

we're only 2/3 bodies different to last year, and we were shocking last year as part of tony smith's post grand final malaise.

Charnley
Thompson
Roberts
Sita (prop)
Godwin
Massila
Pomeroy
Brown

Anymore?

Bit of a strong word to use then?
Dominate?
