Haha. I wasn't counting the Grand Final. I thought you was simply talking about the two playoff games.
I think you're definitely looking at it through anti-Saints glasses though. If we are talking about luck then surely it was bad luck for us to head into the playoffs without Walsh, Wilkin and Lomax?

What's the rumpus, Tom?

| Quote: Father Ted "Saints fans may well think they would have won if both squads had equal numbers of players.
As for the people I've spoken to from other clubs, no one has ever suggested they thought Saints would have won, with either 13 v 13 or 12 v 12.
IMO the game was decided by the incompetence of Bentham in not sending off both men.
Hohaia chased 25 mtrs to smash his elbow/forearm into Flower's jaw.
Flower retaliated by throwing two punches.
Clearly, IMO, both men should have been sent off.
It will be good to see Ben Flower back and I hope with a win too.'"
Bang on Ted |

Did you see the point in my original post that said you deserved the luck due to injuries to key players?
And also the part were I said we'd had our own in recent times like Saints missing halfbacks in 2010 or Wire losing Joel Monaghan and Steffan Ratchford during the 2013 Grand Final.
No anti Saints bias. You had a great run in that play off series and the Flower incident was the cherry on top. Even the most blinkered Saints fan must surely admit it was a pretty simple run at winning a Grand Final. The great Saints teams of the early 2000's would have scored about 200 points a game in those circumstances

Haha. Not another bold score prediction from a Wiganer!?
Joking aside, I get your point. On paper Cas and Catalans at home was a fairly comfortable route, but as has been mentioned, we earned that route I suppose and our injuries were a leveller.

I still think that if Freddie Griffith's had tackled Tom Van Vollenhovan instead of pushing him into touch in 1961 when he passed the ball back inside to Large, Tom would not have been able to get back to take the return pass and go on to score. |

I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league.

| IF it is announced before/during the game i think a chorus of the 'Euro 96' song 'coming home' would be in order with the last line changed to
'Tomkins coming home' or 'Sam is coming home'
Might increase the atmosphere a wee bit

Sam has shaved off his beard - apparently to support a NZ Warriors team mate in a charity appeal. But maybe it is also because he is appearing on Sky TV tonight and wants to present his new clean-shaven image ready for February 2016 in a Wigan shirt………...

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

It's all gone fairly quiet. Rumours circulating yesterday that it was to be announced some time before kick off today, but nothing at the moment.
