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 |

If we had the choice, Leeds would have been the pick. Lowest ranked team at the moment, but we will have to perform better then we did v Saints.

Leeds v Wigan, the 2 clubs with the greatest attendances over the last few years......... can see this as being one of the best attended semis for a few years

God they do moan over on their board don't they
Can't handle the fact they're the worst team left in the draw, and the fact we'd rather play them than two teams we haven't beaten this year....

Good draw, can't remember the last time we played them in a CC semi. Should be a classic.

When we put you out, will that prove that you were actually the worst team left in the draw?  |

If you're still six places below us in the table then no.
As things are, you are the lowest ranked contenders remaining in the competition. The only way to change that is to start winning games more reguarlarly. Oh, and for your coach and captain to start working together.

This has no bearing on the semi finals as it is a one-off cup match. You or the Wolves could have one every league match last season yet still didn't even make it to Old Trafford. You must have been utterly embarrassed to see us and Saints reach the final - yet again. Who gives a stuff about your league form when it's trophies in the cabinet that are a measure of true success.
I think it will be a Wigan v Hudds final. The Wolves have had their best season form wise and are not a patch on last year. If I were you then I'd have certainly wanted Leeds in the semi, but don't count your chickens just yet...

Nobody is counting anything but given that the two other teams we could have faced are above Leeds in the league and have both beaten us this season then it is only natural that we would regard Leeds as the most favourable draw we could have had. That doesn't alter the fact that Leeds have a squad full of talented and dangerous players and could easily win the trophy themselves. I fancy our lads to get to Wembley but I'm not taking anything for granted!

Don't quite know why some of our fans (Leeds) are concerned with Wigan thinking we are the easy tie. On paper we are the lowest placed team left, and therefore on paper the easier tie.
Personally (granted probably biased!) wire have the easier of the two semi finals. Leeds are certainly this and last year very unpredictable but do know how to win big one off games and get to finals since 2004 we have only had one season without getting to one of the big finals. Not always winning the final but do raise game in these situations. Who knows who will win either game. Should both be good games and don't think any two teams are nailed on for a final spot.

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

So you think your playing as well now as you were last year? 
I think we're playing better than we were at this stage last season. Granted you beat us, but I thought we threw it away, whereas last year you were the better side.
As for Catalan, we made them look ordinary at our place this season (they beat us home and away last year.) Would still fancy my chances of beating them away, apart from the run of fixtures we now face.
Hudds (A), Saints (Magic), Leeds (A), Cats (A) - win three out of those 4 and I'll be very happy.

so we're even in 2011, what's there to be embarrassed about? |
