Correct.

6 interchanges in the first half suggests our defence was brutal.

Mate, you know I respect you as a poster but those two comments simply aren't true. Check the scoreline after 20 odd minutes and even at half time it was only 12-0 (until we scored on the hooter, of course!) with Les Cats having had 2 tries disallowed!

OK, I give up. Catalans weren't poor. Huddersfield weren't poor. Hull KR weren't poor.

The respective opposition were just god like.

I guess you'll be saying Wigan weren't at all poor last week and were only as good as the incredible, dominant Saints allowed them to be. No? Thought not.

Catalans were very poor on Sunday.

11 pages? Dearie me, this could have saved you all quite a bit of time

Who needs a crystal ball when that was the worst game we had played all year? Mr Maguire knows exactly how to take Saints apart ~ its been done this season a number of times. Just because Saints finally managed to beat us does not a great team make.

We shall see on Saturday. May the best team win.

Dear me Mr Biscuit. Only eight inches????

No mate, Huddersfield were poor against against Wire. Wigan were poor last week but Saints were equally as good as Wigan were poor. Several teams have been bad against us this season but what I'm saying is that's not ALWAYS the case. It's not a one-stance 'catch all' that a team wins only because the opposition is poor. Sometimes the team that wins does so because they played well as was the case in this instance. Catalans weren't at their best by any means but that's because Wigan absolutely beasted them in defence. Check out Henderson's post match interview. How often do you hear a player/coach/team say 'we simply couldn't live with them' (sic)? He was given the ready made excuse that Catalan weren't perhaps at their best, didn't get the rub of the green and there was an 'r' in the month but he refused to take them. He knew they'd been outplayed. It really was that simple.

I can't work out if you're trolling or believe your own bull, but surely even you can't claim Saints win because they make the opposition play badly but Wigan win because the opposition play badly of their own accord!

It's OK fella I get it.

Wigan lose and they were not outplayed, they were just poor. Wigan win and the opposition was not poor, they were just outplayed.

It's very simple

I like the fact that some saints fans think they just need to turn up. Lets hope their players think the same. I very much doubt it though.

And I'm not writing Leeds off either. Whoever wins at OT will deserve it. Best 4 teams up there again and all in form - although ours has been the worst recently leading up to the semis. But looks like Madge has sorted our last bit of weak defence out. Bring 'em on.

What a staggering assessment of this thread!
