Dont talk daft orrell lad.We lost last year to a decent Warrington side in the semis in a 1 off game.This year the top 2 get 2 bites at the cherry .Wigan this year arent a decent side and if for some miracle you scrape into the top 5 will fall at the first hurdle when you come up against either us ,wire or hull.
Im sure the saints forwards will be bricking it having Clubb,Flower,Isa Tautai and Bullock running at them.Not one of your best 13 wouild get into the saints side.

Ha ha

Hardaker, Gildart, Williams Flower, Greenwood, Farrell and Lockers would all be watching from the stands?

What has being part of a successful team got to do with individual ability? That Wigan squad is being shown up for what they are now Bateman, Tomkins and Wane have gone, puddings. You’ve got no chance of beating us in the playoffs, the only teams who are capable of putting in a performance that could beat us in a one off game are Wire and Hull. As saintnickle says, not a single one of your players gets into our team, not even ‘best fullback in the world’ Dan Sarginson. You have a rubbish squad and an even worse coach.

Coote is miles better than Hardaker, the stats back that up. O’Loughlin is finished, Williams is one of the most overrated players in Super League and Lomax is currently miles better, Flower is bang average at best and hasn’t made 100+ metres once this season which is pathetic, Greenwood is nothing special, Farrell is injured every couple of weeks and we’ll stick with Percival and Naiqama over Gildart. So yes they would indeed all be watching from the stands.

Well this time last year it was how Barba is the best player in the league, Saints will walk the title etc etc.

Fast forward to today and Coote is the best FB in the league and Saints will walk it again.

We've seen and heard it all before.

A moment of pure madness from Ben Flower is the only reason they haven't remained "potless" in over a decade.

Because that's what I said, wasn't it? The straw man argument; the refuge of those with nothing relevant to say.

Remind me who one of the greatest coaches of all time picked at centre out of Gildart and Percival last year will you please?

It’s slipped my mind.

And who he continues to select as his captain.

FWIW:

Coote
Makinson
Naquima
Gildart
Burgess
Williams
Lomax
Walmsley
Roby
Thompson
Greenwood
Farrell
O'Loughlin

Paulo
Knowles
Amor
Taia

Seems folk on Red Vee think we are obsessed with them as we’ve gone to 8 pages, that’s a laugh every post they put on their pages they can’t resist mentioning us, oh and always in derogatory terms, never constructive......well maybe once or twice we get a compliment,

We haven't yet played in a semi-final this year

HAHA ..youve picked 6 wigan players in a combined 13.Is that why you are in a relegation dogfight and we are 6 points clear at the top.

For a top club, Saints have failed massively to convert quality into trophies. 1 GF in 12 years and 0 Cups for 10 years is a horrific stat. As I said 12 months ago, pride comes before a fall.

They need silverware this year.

All 6 of them won the grand final last year. They’re very good players.

They were added to the list just to ensure the Team bus knew the way to Sir Matt Busby Way

Spot on.

As for a relegation dogfight we are closer to 5th than we are to relegation (and are the same number of points away from 4th than bottom) but everyone seems to overlook that.

Here is a genuine question to all the Saints fans.....

Your equivalent to our side on Good Friday would be, and feel free to offer better alternative replacements:

Coote, Swift, Costello, Percival, Grace, Fages, Welsby, Walmsley, Lomax, Douglas, Peyroux, Ashworth, Lees
Bentley, Amor, Taia, Knowles

You then lose Swift after 20 minutes and move Peyroux to centre and Costello to the wing.

How do you get on and how many weeks can you play a similar side or a side missing your entire first choice pack (Walmsley, Roby, Thompson, Taia, Paulo, Knowles) before you start to lose games?

I would Think the team you posted above would win more games than they would lose.
Your 4 points off the bottom place London and 16 points off top place saints.Your 7th place in the league out of 12.The only way you would alter our chances of getting to Old Trafford would be to have a Terry Newton type of player causing mayhem.

I don't remember Catalans or Warrington having to cause much 'Terry Newton style mayhem' in last years semi finals?

Although Catalans did cause mayhem at Bolton, the game was over by half time wasn't it?

All Saints fans singing we’re going to Wembley when they drew Catalans aswell

I wouldn’t worry, you’ll get to see us there in a couple of months.

Doesn’t mean he was right does it? Gildart got torn a new one at Anfield anyway. Also, out of interest, which centres were chosen in the dream team? I take it Gildart was, as he’s so good.

A team chosen by journalists or one chosen by Wayne Bennett. Mmmmm, which one should I choose to respect most?

Love the confidence of the Saints fans - worked out well for them last year didn’t it? Remind me who won the grand final again?

Well, you have started a thread dedicated to us.
