The worry I'd have as a Saints fan would be the bench.

Graham must be a touch under 100%, so you'd want more than 2 forwards on the bench surely?

Sam has always took some form of medication or something for his shoulder according to form, so that is just a normal weekend for little Sam.

I wouldn't underestimate Scott Moore. Despite him not being the biggest, he provides some sensational impact of the bench with his aggressive nature.

I would have banked with a wigan win and still think you'll get through but saints having pryce back could make things interesting.
the saints pack on paper is top quality. at the start of the season I said to my wire friends that the best pack
is the saints pack if fully fit. having said that though, the way o'loughlan and co performed v us 2 weeks was outstanding.
Our forwards were kept fairly quiet including westwood who seemed to be unrecognizable.

I'm really looking for to this one. If saints can overide the speed and movement you had v us in the first 20 then it's anyones game.
I honestly think that stains could have you in the forwards with Puletu, lms driving and a speedy roby. but you've got o'loughlan
and hoffmann and an improving lima with finch showing how good he is. It'll be a fantasic game and i'm getting the goose bumps
already. May the best side win.

I may get Wire fans jumping all over me for this, BUT, imho a fully fit Saints side is better than a fully fit Warrington side. That's the reason why I've said for some time that I fear Saints more than Warrington (and said it would be Wigan/Saints in both finals if the draw didn't see us together) and that's why I'm not as confident going into this as I was the QF. I am however still confident that our pack can do the same job on Graham and Roby that they did in Widnes and that will keep Pryce (who could tear us apart if we let him play) out the game. When we're on the front foot our back line will score tries against anyone.

This could of course bite me on the ass but as Cadoo said......I'm just being honest.

It's great times at the moment cos all three of us have the capability of winning. this may sound daft but i've always felt over the past two
years that we can beat you but have never had that feeling with saints. saints, even now, i fear more than any other side but having said that
the performance you put in v us in the semi was outstanding and put to rest my delusions of you having a weak pack. it's going to
be a great game I'm counting the hours down. It's so close to call. I think saints having pryce back will have massive bearing on things.
Chris Finch is showing what he's made of and I think him and deacon are developing a great understanding and direction for the side.
If you play like you did v us in the first 20 and sustain it, like you did at the stobard stadium for the sl saints away game then I think
you'll win. you controlled the play the ball and speed of ruck really well and spun it out really well outflanking us with overlaps that
that were created by great positioning and dummy runners. I haven't seen us be outflanked like that all season. I was really worried
when we were 22-0 after 20 minutes that it could be an embarrassing score but thank goodness we got back in.

Even though you won the gf last year, I think the side you have now is a better one. looking forward to a quality game on saturday
which no doubt it'll be.

Chris Finch?

Good post and its very refreshing to hear that from a Warrington fan. Tomorrow is going to be one cracker of a game! Only problem I have is Chris Finch? Isn't he the bloke from the Office?

Don't tell me we signed the wrong brother again???

Karl Pryce part 2 ...

your right, it isn't chris finch. it's brett finch. is that correct? too many hours sat at home watching the office.
can't wait. for me one of the biggest games in years because saints will have most players back and they
need to win some silverware combined with you guys who haven't been to wembley since 1999 even though
you won the cc at murryfield in 2004. Taking aside all rivalries, were lucky enough to be watching the best
sport in world with genuine heros playing it who'll give you the time of day and care for the supporters
who turn up and support them. good luck to both you and saints for an unbelievable sporting event. wish
we were there but watching quarter final with such a great atmosphere with some amazing rugby sweetens
the sour grapes.

good luck

Indeed
