| Saints will win the cup and Wigan will win the Grand Final IMO. Let's face it, if Leeds don't win the GF, it's usually Wigan and vice versa...

I’ve watched both St Helens and Wire plenty of times this year, both against us, against other sides and against each other and they’re far too good for everyone. Just because they’re slightly less too good for Wire then say Hull, doesn’t mean a thing in the shake up.
Honest opinion but we’ll see.'"
Are you sure RD was talking about Wire?
Should you be correct in your assumption, the team winning the hubcap (even by a large margin) doesn't always win the GF.
It's still all to play for by several clubs, and not just one.

That is where this current structure betters previous ones, certainly the 1v4 2v3 of last season.
Saints are, sadly, miles ahead of the rest this season but for them to not make Old Trafford means they lose 2 games in a row which you just can't see. Of course they could lose the final but that's a seperate thing completely.

Your Cunningham Vape Cash Coverters is closer to the HJ than Wigan Athletic.

So is the Widnes ground but it doesn't mean we see them as bigger rivals than Wigan.

Resting players (or having them missing) is working really well for you. Lose half your pack week in week out as we have all season and you would be no better off than us. Are we still in a relegation battle BTW?

We had 2 of our starting 13 playing yesterday so the outcome was pretty much nailed on especially on a plastic pitch.We get that luxury as we are 10 pts clear of second place Warrington.You are closer to London pts wise than us and if you think we would be as much a shambles as Wigan if we had a few forwards out your deluded.Come 2 weeks time you could easily be sitting in 7th place.Every time youve come up against the top 3 this season youve lost.

| It’s not the fear I smell but I do hear a big clock ticking. When the bell rings Holbrook will be back in Australia and will have taken Thompson with him and Roby will be nothing more than a second statue.
Enjoy it whilst you can (best win some trophies mind).

And how many were you missing the first time they beat you?
Take Makinson and Swift (Manfredi/Davies), Naquima (Sarginson), Grace (Burgess), Walmsley (Flower), Thompson (Clubb), Paulo (Greenwood), Taia (Faz) and Knowles (SOL) plus someone like say Amor (he can count for Hamlin, Tautai and Bullock) out of your side for the same number of games as we have missed those and there is a very strong chance you would be a "shambles" as well. The pack you put out at weekend is pretty much what we have played with all season.

Couple of injuries and they are no better than the rest of us. Have we even named an unchanged team at any point?

We’ve just thumped you 32-10, are 16 points ahead of you and your coach thinks Dan Sarginson is the best full back in the world. I’ll be delighted if it’s a Saints vs Wigan Grand Final because you’re absolutely appalling. The fact you sit behind Hull who we’ve put 102 points on says it all.
