Quote: MPhil12 "Sounds like a good summary, impressive response from Saints after last week. Unless injuries hit it’s difficult to see them not getting to Old Trafford again, even at this early stage. I know Hull had a few missing as well but to do that without Coote, Percival and Roby shows how good they are. I think it’ll be between Hull and Wigan for second place, although I don’t think Lam or Radford are great.'"
Yeah agree, they are the benchmark, we had 6 players (Add in to that Naulogo off injured, Lane playing with an injury and Fonua not fit) out of our 17, when this happens we just dont have the quality to replace them, particulary in the forwards, we don't seem to produce the young squad players that Saints and Wigan do.
Strongest 17 against Stongest 17 I think in a one off game we could beat anyone, we just don't have the squad to or menatally to do it week in week out and finish at the top. Wouldn't suprise me to see us win the cup again, but I really want us to get to the Grand Final.
