[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

He really does look like the banjo player in Deliverance.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Warringtons arrogance cost then the game. They had two simple kickable penalties just before half time and chose to run them. I don't think Leeds or Wigan would have made that decision.
Oh, and the crowd yesterday was 10,621, so which team took most speccies to the semifinals?

But we've always played that way, and you know it, or at least you should if you purport to know so much about rugby. If it had been a strategy we'd never done before i'd agree but we even did the same against you when we could have took the two and drawn but we went for the win, gambled and lost.
I think you're on your usual poop stirring with that post. |

I can't say that I have, did you actually see it as he happened? It wasn't just a cheeky finger to the wire fans, he was really loving the fact that he had managed to swear on tv, not the best advert for 'the family game'. It doesn't help that he looks like he ate his way out of an egg rather than being born either |

[quote="FlexWheeler":8f22o6ue]The extent of his coaching is ''BASH EM, JUST F*CKING BASH EM. HE'S LOW ON CONFIDENCE, BASH HIM''
He's a limited coach that won't last long term.[/quote:8f22o6ue]
....
[quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]: |

Do you think that champion teams play exactly the same way in regular season games compared to semi finals/finals?
Wigan went for a 2 against London to put themselves 2 scores away. That was against a team we went on to score 70 against.
Leeds certainly play differently in big games. |

Whether it's right or wrong is by the by, just saying it's our way and it always has been, all or nothing isn't arrogant if that's all you ever do.

I saw loads of stuff like that on tv yesterday. Around kick off they did a crowd shot with a lovely chap doing the w gesture all over the show.
It does happen but yesterday I saw a lot more than I'm used to seeing on a televised game. |
