I agree and to be honest we've had a couple of weeks were we have not been outstanding, but from experience a season is a long time.

In a one off game we can still get over turned. (I think Salford showed that last week)

I'm glad we have a top 5 format as that gives the top 2 that second bite at the cherry that other formats lack and sometimes saints have needed that.

Still a long way to go.

Catalan are coming to form at the right time and they have a big pack that can cause Saints some problems.
Warrington also be a hard team to beat.
Let's see who gets to the semis before we worry about either of those two.
On form Wakefield shouldn't be a problem but they always give Saints a tough game and form counts for nothing in the cup

We said the pretty much the same. We didn’t play too badly; just Saints are superior in every department. No shame in that.
I wish we’d stop trying to play the game at their pace though. It hasn’t/doesn’t work & DP needs to take some responsibility for continuing with the same plan time and time again.

Well, there generally is a difference when one team has a man less than the other.

Some fans are unaware Walmsley went off 3 minutes earlier and we were only running with 2 recognised props. When Roby went off Holbrook brought Smith onto the field and I think Knowles went to prop.
So there was bound to be some disruption for those last 10 mins without Roby of the first half but opposition fans won’t accept that situation.

The fact is Barba stopped playing, any replacement for any injured player will give 100%. By your post you have proved without a shadow of doubt you are an imbecile.
