I will point out that when Wigan beat us in '16 they were 1pt behind us in the Super 8s. This season we finished 15pts behind Saints and 9pts behind Wigan. We are not in the same ball park as those teams. .'"
I'm perfectly aware of that thankyou Wire 71. Fundamentally however, we were top, and using you're stated guidelines- top deserves it- we deserved to be GF winners.

I reject the idea that we are "not far off". We are. We have fundamental weaknesses in the side which I hope will be addressed in the next recruitment cycles. .'"
Also Wire71, your misquote of my post (above) differs greatly from what I actually wrote (below). Or did you just make the above up to discredit my point of view and support your point with a sense of verisimilitude.

Finally Wire71, if posters of other clubs view my views on the semifinal outcome as overly optimistic or deluded, that's their problem. Last time we played saints (at their ground )a few months back, we should have beaten them, or at least got a draw. You can be as pessimistic as you like, but don't criticise others for their optimism, especially by backing up your view with falsified quotes.
