But you did quote the winning margin, as if it did matter.

Otherwise why quote it?

The Saints players definitely looked like they had been spanked, difficult to comment on the fans, they disappeared while I was celebrating.

Ps putting laughing emojis on a post doesn’t make a post funny, it’s like the laughter track on “Still open all hours” starring nobodies funny man J Vegas.

Generally you are disappointed after losing a semi final, whatever the score line. Not sure what the eagerness to go on about the game is about, all it didn’t was delay your inevitable disappointment for a week and a bit.

The way you feel the need to bring up Johnny Vegas because he’s from St Helens is very bizarre. Also, as anyone with any sense would be able to recognise, I didn’t put laughing emojis because the post was funny. I was laughing at the fact someone tried to prove me wrong by telling me George King and Bodene Thompson wiped the floor with our pack, when quite clearly they didn’t.

Dear me. I didn’t quote it because it was important. I quoted it because it backs up the point that no Warrington player wiped the floor with any Saints player.

It's a bit of fun but almost impossible to predict how teams like Leeds will react to new coach and at least 3 imports or how Wigan will cope with a new coach and losing 3 big players.
So based on last season and some consistency of coaching and playing group I reckon Saints and Wire will be in the top 4 at the end of the regular rounds.
Catalan have strengthened and Huddersfield looked useful under Woolford last year. Salford did pretty well with Hastings and Lussick.
Hull had a terrible run of injuries but a few defeats at the start of the season and Radford could be on thin ice.
Hull kR will be above London but only just
Cas and Wakey have done well for the last few years but I think that at least one of them will be unable to sustain it for another year.
So in terms of predictions I will go with London picking up the spoon, Saints and Warrington in the top 4 and a grand final contested by 2 teams that have never won it.
Oh and Wigans undefeated home record to end well before Easter.

They finish 5th this season so why not?
Great outside backs, great middle backs and 6 big props...one Fafita too who we were supposed to be in for.

LOL the old 1.40am post.

They won't be far off top 5 and with Chris chester(a coach who I'd love here )but it will be same old same old as to who wins it...Wigan Leeds or saints...

Until that thrashing...I wasn't too far off at this stage.
