Guys... Northampton SAint is a bit of a plank but doesn't he have every right to change his mind after the resounding point made by Wire?
As much as we like to make fun of certain Wigan fans who change their mind on things when they are backs against the wall (the signing of Ben Cross being the sweetest) Northampton Saint was making a point about a team that had been dry bummed by Saints a few months ago and were looking wobbly for the first part of this year. The challenge was set (and he was partaking in a little bit of 'banter'- whatever he calls it) and after his team was thoroughly dismantled he changed his mind. Surely that is commendable.
Of course if he had just admitted that instead of still playing the bobby big balls, he would be more respectable. His bull about Saints pack and any other shreds of comfort are jsut that; comfort he has to make himself believe. Surely the bigger laughing stock would be if he still claimed that Saints were better than us and weren't still declining (which they really seem to be), maybe?
Oh and Northampton Saint, St Helens' pack isn't better than Warrington's. It was proven conclusively on Monday. Also, your reference to Playoff jitters. We only didn't show up the the playoffs ONCE. Last year we lost by a penalty to the eventual champions (and a team that destroyed you AGAIN at OT). As much as you'd like to attach the tag of bottlers to this WArrington team; 2 Challenge Cups and a League Leader's shield says you're full of e!
