We’re 8 points ahead of you. We’re miles better as are Warrington.

| They’ve got absolutely no chance. It’s going to be a Saints vs Warrington final without a doubt.

| Quote: Fruity Muffin "Never understood this no star bit. Some were not stars when they signed but they sure are now.
Johnstone, Fifita, Tupou and Ashurst would get in any SL team. Miller, Lyne, BJB, Hampshire, Arundal, Batchelor, Arona, Kopzac and Brough would get in most. The rest right up to about no26 would get in a fair few SL teams.
Plenty of strength in depth combined with more star players than many SL teams, only Saints, Wire and Leeds (technically) have more 'stars'.
Its a bit of a myth and a touch condecending imo, how they have managed this on such a low budget I admit remains a mystery.
Can they do it? If they start to get lucky on the injury front and players return fully fit sooner rather than later then they have an outside chance though big match experience will be an issue.'"
BJB, Arundel and Kopczak are all bang average players. Some of the others you mention are close to that category also.

| There that's stunted vocabulary again. "Bang average". The same "bang average" players super Saints struggled to beat.

Say something negative about any other team than theirs - Its an opinion

None of the players he mentioned would get in Saints side but that’s not the point. The point is Wakefield are a very drilled unit who are punching well above their weight.
At this stage of the season I would rather play Warrington than Wakefield

| Whilst they are playing some decent stuff and have some good players, I don't really see Wakefield as too much of a threat right now.
I see Cas as far bigger rivals than them over the season.

For a side that you feel aren't anywhere good enough to trouble Saints, you dont half go on about Wakefield.
It's either some kind of man crush, a bit like the girl who's hair you pull in the school playground or, some kind of fear ?
If you genuinely weren't bothered by Trinity, you would concentrate your efforts elsewhere.
Get back to hair pulling and passing notes under the desk, she'll soon come round

| Doesn't really matter whether they are stars or not, most of em are long term injured.
Making the top 5 is looking like a long reach given the current injury list, and not likely to improve much anytime soon.
By the time we get any semblance of a first choice squad, we'll be pretty happy to still be around mid table.
Its a stupid thread, but what do you expect, it would have at least some credence if Wakey were playing with a full deck, but they're a long way off that.

Stop talking to yourself it’s embarrassing.

Exactly what you said last year, so explain why you’re any more right this time.

None of them. Funny that because a year ago Amor was rubbish according to ALL Saints fans and past it and needed replacing. Now you wouldn’t swap him for Fifita, you don’t half spout some crud.

Better a "bang average" player than a "bang average" troll.

| It's possible but can't see it. Seem to bottle the big pressure matches i.e. Warrington Challenge Cup semi a few years back. Top 5 still looking good but injuries may take their toll soon, but then again once bodies start coming back should have pretty much a fresh team for the back end of the season which might work in favour

| I don't think you can say we bottled it as such...if I remember rightly we were crippled with injuries (sound familiar) to the point we only had 16 'fit' players and it was a toss up between which injured player would fill the last bench spot and Danny Kirmond put his hand up in a game he should never have played....
Just looking at some of the names in that 17 shows how far we've come as a squad...no disrespect meant but a back three of Jason Walton, Anthony Tupou and Michael Sio is not gonna have you genuinely challenging in semi finals!
