| Quote: Geoff "He was far too mistake-prone, both at Wigan and Wire, to make up for any of the positive things he did. You could guarantee 2 or 3 "Bloody hell, Mathers!" moments in every game.
One of my favourites from last season is the fumble that allowed Pat to go in from 90 yards against the wolfs...'"
Don't forget his last act in a Wire shirt, throwing the pass that Cudjoe intercepted! |

| Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "What is the problem with you lot accepting that Mathers is not 'garbage'......Yes, we've had it until our balls ache from you lot, about how rotten he performed in a Wigan shirt, but considering that within 3 months of leaving the JJB (or whatever you call your football stadium) he had a Wembley winners medal, then he can't be that bad.....Also, add to this he has been signed up by 2 highly respected coaches (Noble & Smith), tells me he can't be total garbage?
As for the deal and who came out best?.....Well, at the time it was convenient for all concerned....You needed rid of a confidence-shattered Mathers,we wanted rid of a bad-influence Gleeson, a bit of cash thrown in and all things considered, both sides have come out smiling, with trophies aplenty.....

Those two idiots Jedward are and will be more successful in the music business than anyone else who posts on here.
Doesn't make them any good though, does it?

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

1. Wigan
2. Dire
3. St Helens
4. Leeds
Can't see Saints being champions this year. Our best chance win be in the Challenge Cup. Wigan v Warrington GF IMO. I'll send any Dire fans maps with the route to get to Old Trafford if they want considering they've never been there!

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 that does happen, please let me know when the "event" will happen. I'll stay indoors and keep all the curtains firmly closed. |

| Quote: 21-12 "Saints will miss Cunningham and the impact he has on the game'"
One of the reasons we missed Cunningham when he wasn't on the pitch last year is that we lacked size and grunt up front - this is mitigated in 2011 by bringing in LMS and Perry.
Roby was brilliant for us last season and will surprise the "only an impact sub" knockers this season.
Saints look a stronger and better balanced squad in 2011 IMO, and word has it that we look in far better shape physically (which isn't difficult compared to 2010 when half our players had beer bellies).
Big shout, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us reach both finals. |

Like most I think Wigan,Warrington,Leeds and Saints will be the top four (unless one of these have a horrendous injury run), in what order is anyone's guess. I think it will be injuries/form and depth of squad at key times of the season which will make the difference in who finishes top.
I have a feeling the change of coaching staff at Leeds and the loss of McGuire and possibly Hall for the start of the season may effect them early on. Saints look stong on paper - depends on how they respond to the new coach - and integrate the new players. Warrington and Wigan both look strong and have settled coaching so I would personally think these two will be the top two - assuming Warrington can overcome their Saints hoodoo.
Could be very tight this year.
