Nuff said

Got Kylie (not Leuluai) in my head now.

You wish!

when will Super League take action to reduce the number of meaningless games like this that are turning the fans off the sport, tonight's game means nothing in the context of trophies it was just like a pre-season friendly where the most important thing was not to get players injured ahead of the playoffs.

While i am of the opinion that the league is of almost no glory, and i have also said that alot of league games are nothing more than meaningless friendlies (widnes, wakefield, salford etc)... tonight was different.

for a start, the games against saints, wigan and to a lesser extant leeds are always games you want to see us win... couple that with saints winning the league leaders shield if they avoided defeat... AND it being a few games from the playoffs, meaning we can find some form, meant tonight was a proper game.

unless you're a saints fan of course....

Simon Grix might argue the players getting injured point? He was unlucky or committed to a cause, take your pick.I wouldn't go into work and risk what they do for a 'meaningless' game.

Westwood didn't look too good either. A big few games for James Laithewaite me thinks!

totally agree,but im not going to go down that road any more

Why not do away with meaningless fixtures thus....

At the start of the season put all the SL teams names in a hat & draw them out for league positions ,come the 3rd week in September the top 8 teams can go straight to the play offs with injury free teams. The bottom four or six wouldn't need to play all season.

I know it sounds a great idea but i would miss my six months fix of rugby.

Is the most consistent side necessarily the best? Saints have been dire at some points this year and would well win the shield by default.

We are about to go into a play off series which could be wide open with the season culminating at one of the most famous stadiums in the world. Sport at it's best!

so if saints have been dire at certain points this season and still head the league ladder by 2 points with a game to go what does that make the rest..if you win the league then you must be the best.or are teams holding back for the play offs,if so that makes a mockery out of the league

I don't know whether you watched us on Thursday or Leeds and Wigan on Friday but I certainly haven't seen anyone holding back!

leeds at london maybe..wire at home to wakey wire at widnes,the list goes on,,sts are top so therefore must be the best atm..if they avoid defeat next week they are worthy champs and not a team that has won the league by default...

Clubs are always going to rest players prior to a cup final, regardless of the competition structure. Wakefield and Widnes were simply better than us on the day.

What about Wigan they had no such Cup distractions and have had more than the odd off day just look at the Wane thread "not the Wigan way" or whatever it's called on their board? Saints have been unlucky with injuries/their squad was thin depending upon your POV but I'm with SAM and others if they win it then they are better than an team that has won it by default.

BTW if Cas overhaul them will they have won it by default also, or will attitudes change? Will they be feted as a team that has come from nowhere got to a cup final and became a champion team?
