| Saints and Warrington can't keep on bottling the big prize.
Saints crabbed it in 2014 (and they know they did) - but even that is five years ago, while Wire have now blown four finals.
It will be a miracle of self-destruction if one of those two doesn't win it this year. Not just because they are both pretty decent teams, but because there is literally no one else. In general terms this is surely the worst Super League in terms of quality that I've ever seen. Hull, who are currently 3rd, are capable of looking good one week and losing by 60 the next. Catalan, who are 4th, saved a total comedy performance for their big return home last night; on paper they should have beaten cellar-dwellers London by 30.
If Saints and Wire don't divide up the silverware this season, they want shooting.

I think we're pretty much on the same page here. It's all about the Grand Final really.
What's your take on him leaving? Remembering our dip in form when Wane announced he was leaving and having seen your performance on Saturday (which despite Magic Superbeetle's protestations wasn't very convincing) do you have any worries that it might derail your season?

It’s a shame he’s leaving as he’s done a terrific job but I don’t think it will mean anything this season, if anything I imagine it might help in the short term to get clarity so people can move on.

Announced in the next 24 hours that he is leaving.

He's definitely gone. Was in the Aussie press today. I'm assuming the players already knew which might account for their sub-par performance on Saturday as the same thing happened to us after Wane's similar announcement last season.

That's possible but I remember it's what we said around this time last year and quite the reverse happened. I guess a dip in form won't hurt you too much as long as it doesn't coincide with the important games at the end of the season but a tailspin isn't always easy to get out of. Interesting to see how the players respond over the next couple of weeks.
