They obviously don't mean 'nothing' but under the current system the weekly rounds are about just doing enough. You don't need to play your best rugby for 27 rounds as long as you peak for 3 games at the end of the season. Compare our 2012 to 2013, we were awesome for most of 2012, only lost 6 games and won the league leaders, yet two poor performances in the semi finals, both against Leeds who finished 5th, meant overall the season was a disappointment. In 2013 we established ourselves in the top 4, took our foot off the gas, eventually losing 10 games and finishing 4th, yet we won both major trophies so overall the season was successful. It's an obvious failure of the system when consistency is so blatantly unrewarded.

I was returning the favour of his awful posting style (FACT). He's rabbiting on about how saints have done this and that during the regular season. Saints beat leeds 3 from 4 in 2008. They lost the 5th in the grand final. FACT. Saints beat leeds twice during 2009, they lost the grand final. FACT. Saints beat leeds 2 from 2 in 2011....you get the picture. My point was regular season head to heads are not much of a barometer for the playoffs, so essentially his FACTS are meaningless.

FACT.

Oh dear. You seem to be confusing facts with your opinion

People have been offering the view that Saints are a write off and that all Wigan need to do is turn up. Saints beat us in the home game with essentially the same team they have now as Walsh went off injured early on

To argue that regular season form is meaningless is bonkers. There are essentially six teams with similar win/loss records and therefore six teams with a chance of winning at OT. No team has played well enough to be considered favourites.

In my view, and this is ONLY an opinion, the standard in Super League has slipped alarmingly since we won it in 2010. No team is dominant any more.

How anyone can have confidence in Wigan after the performances at Bradford, Wakefield, HullKR and Widnes is beyond me.

I would suggest Bradford and London would think otherwise.
