Quote: Captain Hook "All those last minute victories that Saints pulled off against us, often when we had been the better team. I don’t recall the Saints fans complaining, just gloating “it’s the sign of a Chapion team”, “Never write Saints off” etc etc. We weren’t at our best, but we are in the semis and they aren’t. I’m going to enjoy the moment, and I really don’t understand how any Wire fan feels the need to be critical, straight after such a victory.'"
Probably the difference is that Saints regularly won Grand Finals and we never have, hence there's more scepticism for us.
Yesterday was shaping up as a classic Saints script, late try to take it to golden point and charging down our first drop goal attempt. I knew what was going to come next - we'd concede a penalty, they'd charge up field and kick a drop goal themselves, season over.
But we didn't, and they went away from the script with their fifth tackle play on the following set and failing to get in a good kick.
