By "other teams" do you just mean Catalans, because they were the only team to beat them in the rest of the season apart from Saints, who hardly need to uncover a tactical secret to win a game.

What do you reckon our watershed game was, I reckon Saints at home, we'd been going ok under Tony Smith until that point but Saints showed teams how we could be beaten, which is why our last 8 league games we had a record of won 2 (against the mighty Salford and Harlequins), lost 6.

Of course it was because we were hungover from the Cup final.....begs the question though, how come Saints usually start winning again in the league after they win at Wembley, but Wire have to go to pieces even when we only needed a handful of wins to get into the playoffs!

What have Saints got to do with a Huddersfield thread? What have Saints' results after a CC Final got to do with a Huddersfield thread?

im expecting leeds, saints, us, wigan and bradford to all finish above huddersfield this season..and probably catalan as well.

I do not think they will repeat last seasons success.

Why are people on here saying that we are a better team than Huddersfield? Huddersfield got where they were last year on merit and you cant fault them for that.

Basically superleague is of distinctinctly average standard, with the exception of Leeds, who'll cake-walk the title. Every other team, except Celtic are more than capable of beating each other. I'd expect Huddersfield to still finish above Warrington in 4th/5th position, but that's only because other teams will improve, notably Bradford and Castleford.

Leeds didn't 'cake-walk' the title by any means, were showed up by a few 'average' sides throughout the season, and had a close-run thing with Saints again. Huddersfield were very good in 2009, maybe over-reliant on the 'umbrella' defence and the quick inside-ball from 7 or 9 to Hodgson ( of another runner ). If opposition defences can stop this, and find their way wide ( as did Wire at Wembley ) Hudds will have a tougher time of it.

Waffle all you want,i think you will do as well has you did last year?,and the Giants will be as good if not better than last year.

Any confirmation of where our away match with Catalans is being held yet?

and I bet we don't win a trophy...

jesus what a fan you are betting the team your supposed to support does`nt win a trophy...well for your info we won one last year...and hudds still wont finish top 4..

You are Live Wired and I claim my five groats.

Schadeunfreude, isn't it?

With or without a new coach, bradford will finish above huddersfield next year. Why? Because they have a world class half back and huddersfield don't have any.

I think you miss Sally's point: given that there are only two trophies to win, Sally's 'bet' is as least as good as a bet that Giants won't finish in the top four.

'Udders will be up there and abouts, tricky team to beat. Defence is top, they do need abit more spice in the attacking line though, McNally could provide this. In the CC final they come unstuck in attack against us and couldn't quite find the play to get them back into the game.
