| In all honesty it has been a bad 3 weeks, the draw at Hull KR for me was more disapointing than losing out to Catalans and Hudds, but although I was gutted with the Cats result probably with the nature of the loss I was very proud yesterday in a game which could have gone either way and we just missed out on all 3 games we failed to win. I think it will be Wire top Wigan 2nd Hudds and cats fighting for 3rd/4th and us and Leeds fighting for 5th/6th. St Helens always have a sticky patch and the games we lost last season included Hudds away Hull KR away anyway. But I'm confident we will put a run together at some point and look like Saints and I am not worried yet. What does get me thinking is the lack of a match winner, with the players we have lost especially Graham it was always going to be a tough ask but I think we will be OK, don't know if we will win anything but certainly think we will be there or there abouts.

| Won't take long for Saints to hit some form again with or without Roby, just hope its not against us.

| No disgrace in losing to Cats and Huddersfield. Its true Saints are not what they used to be but they are going through a spell of losing there key players due to retirement and blooding youngsters for the future in the hope they can be like Cunningham, Long etc. The new stadium may have stopped them signing the best players around but can still beat anyone on there day.

| No picture with the Super League trophy? I can't possibly see how a team so far ahead of Super League standards are yet to play at Old Trafford...

| Genuine question..Which team do you Wire fans regard as your main rivals ,Saints or Wigan? by that I mean the team you most want to beat in any game and the team you most want to lose to whoever?

You know this after 5 games ? We haven't played Saints, Wigan, Cats or Leeds yet.

Wigan purely because they're better than Saints at rugby at the moment, and because their flag-waving fans make me cringe with all that Ultra rubbish.

I agree on the latter the cringeworthy ultra flag wavers irritate me too.

Yes I do. We are not playing that well at the moment but the defensive structure and shape (which will not alter as the season progresses) is seeing us through, it was SUPERB again at Bradford. The attacking push is still there but some decision making isn't quite yet but it will be so particularly as the weather warms up.
We look better prepared than at this time last season, we are top of the league and we were the team to beat last year as well. We have a stronger squad and the same exceptional coaching staff.
On the other side of the argument, what other teams are better than us and why?

Spot on in what your saying about structure & shape, theres no denying that. But a better attacking team than Bradford would have took us alot closer or beaten us on saturday night. I know we have injuries and will probably get stronger, but throw a suspension in here and there, maybe even more injuries to key players, and things might not go our way as much as you seem to think it will.
Not sure about your stronger squad comment. I'd say more versatile with Ratchford replacing King, and Waterhouse for Anderson, but not stronger.
I think with Bridges impending ban, no big Monas, Sully & Harrison (and possibly Hodgson & Grix) Friday night will be a good barometer with us playing the champions away.

| I'm sure saints will learn from these narrow defeats and come back a better side. They have alot of young players in key positions that can only benefit from all this game time.
having said that they are almost certainly worse off than last season. Winning a trophy will prove difficult for them.
