"that should be play on"

Well, this time last night we were bemoaning our injury situation and with justification, but Saints look like a team who needed the season to finish a fortnight ago. They are out of players, out of form, and out of gas.

Play-offs look interesting.

Saints running on empty.
Leeds may yet come again but look to be a busted flush
Wigan probably now favourites for the GF
Cas dark horses but I'd bet on them going out in the semis
Hudds, still got a soft underbelly and did their best to blow it tonight.

and us. Despite our hand wringing we still have a very good chance of reaching the final and no-one will fancy taking us on.

But the ball went backwards off the defenders not forward so it was accidental offside??

confirmed it should have been play on.

Leeds v Wigan final for me.

When Leeds start taking games seriously again and they deal with Catalan at home, their play-offs start there. Just two wins to get to Old Trafford for them and they know how to do it. And in the play-offs the refs just allow lying on so Wigan will flourish.

If we can get some players back fit we might get to the semis. We're a semis team this year, even when all fit and a CC semi, play-off semi and MOS nomination(/possible winner) in Hill - considering what we lost last season, I'll be happy enough with this season.

I love Barry Mac on sky...hated him as a player!

I think we still have a GREAT chance of winning the Sky Cup

Wigan have to start as favs (rightly so)
Stains looked drained. I can't see them recovering from the last two games
Hudds, well, I'll show my Aris in Burton's window, if they win it
Leeds have been poor (by their standards) since the Magic weekend
Cas have been a revalation, but, after Wembley (where they underperformed), I can't see them going all the way.
Us. Well, like Stains, we're on the bones of our @rses for injuries, but I can see us muddling through.

It's us or the Pies for me

This scenario is a bit like when Blackburn Rovers won the league...lost but Utd lost too.
It could be a bitter sweet day for Saints.

O'Connor reckons we're there for the taking saying we are "battered".

He does have a point.... loads of injuries to key players.

couple that with the kicking game of a dead swan and we're very beatable.

Having said that, we could have a masterclass from Monaghan, a big game from a few other players and win easily.

im not worried about widnes... its the game after that im worried about.

Not me. We'll get troops back to play a beaten team that would have had a hard game the week before.

RD, is that referring to 'Morley's Deckchairs' point about after the game!

With the Widnes fans' behaviour at Cas, it could be fiery outside I the ground. Let's hope not.

Close the bars, hide the vinegar and put your stab vests on, it's Widnes.

Personally a semi final is the best I can see us doing, considering who left and the dross that replaced them (Russell aside) I'll take that.
Just don't think we're good enough.

We are good enough Yed.
We battered teams with virtually no pack 3 months ago.
We just need to play with R&B in the half's.

It wasn't broke I don't know why TS had to fix it..?

We will make the Final.
