I mean its not like they made a semi final with 6 or 7 players missing is it?

Taking into account they missed 2 games against Saints, 1 against Hull and 1 against Warrington (in the regular season then didn't pick up a single point from any of those teams), but managed to play Leigh 3 times and then had to rely on Cas losing to Warrington to get them in the playoffs, I don't think they would have even made the playoffs had a full season of fixtures been played. Covid worked in their favour over any other team.
Coote is a decent signing but the test of their signing for next year are pretty poor. Mostly championship players. They will be a fair bit of playoffs next year in my opinion.

Saints will go on to win 4 in a row.

We were a .500 team, so I’m not getting carried away. However, I think the idea that our fixture list was hugely unbalanced is itself unbalanced. We played LLS winners Catalans 3 times and missed out on a second game against a struggling Salford.

Saints, Wire and Hull - you say we were lucky to miss games against them but also make a point about us not taking points off them, when doing so is more difficult when you play fewer games against them. The problem you have is that without Hull the list is short and with them it looks a bit daft.

Hurrell will be a game changer for Saints next season. His missus pointed out on IG that Leeds completely mistreated him. Now he’s in a welcoming environment at St Helens where player welfare comes first he will absolutely shine

Thats one of the big things at Saints, don't look after the one indivual but support the whole family. Once Matt Daniels starts the players conditioning program he will get near to his best phsically, Woolf will also work on his mental toughness and defence liabillties. At the moment Hurrell is nowhere near a first 17 player but we respect him to take up the challenge, the Saints environment will help him to succeed.

Warriors and Titans had him over the years for over 100 games and he wasn't in the end good enough and now he's in his thirties he's gonna be a superstar....

You couldn't make it up.....

That’s why St Helens have been so successful. They have a culture. Just like other top sporting teams like Miami Heat or New England Patriots. Holbrook even spent time with the patriots to get an idea how to build a culture and now St. Helens are reaping the rewards. Compare that to clubs like Warrington who only sign mercenaries or Wigan who only sign crocked Aussies or druggies and it’s easy to see why St Helens are so successful

You not confident about us this year then mate? Not got your season ticket yet?

By “us” you must mean the Warrington wolfs judging by your posting history.

I’m not confident at all, you’ve replaced your best prop with some dude from Wigan who can’t manage 10 minutes a game and is always late to training. Plus you’ve spent your salary cap on about 15 average half backs

Not biting on this one

Really, and you believe him ?

Catalan will be contenders and IF Powell can organise Wire, they too should push Saints pretty hard.
Wigan, rejuvenated by Wane may surprise a few as well.
