But to finish top of the league and win two challenge cup suggests that we aren't bottlers. Good luck for the season anyway, great to have the derby and rivalry back.'"
So you were never tipped to win the GF, by people in the RL media and fans, until last season?
I recall you being touted, on many occasions, even under Paul Cullen, to win it.
Will the Wire win it next year, then?  |

I think we will give you a hiding in one and the other maybe an upset. Similar to Salford last year. Be great that you have 3 years to build and don't have to panic sign to make sure you stay up. I know you have some great kids coming through and you now have the time to see if they have what it takes.

I have no doubt that plenty of hammerings will be dished to us next year but as long as we stick together we should be able to avoid the wooden spoon and build the year after. Ill be intoxicated at your gaff anyhow to mask the pain of the inevitable hammering. |

People have tipped us to have an outside at making it before, not till last year have we been serious contenders though. I still think we struggle when playing from behind. If we get 12-0 up were virtually unbeatable, if a team stay close to us, it takes away our ability to play fast, attacking rugby as we don't have the margin for error. If the playoffs were in summer we'd p*ss it. I think next year is our last chance for 3 or 4 years as we will lose Moz and Briers soon. Will take a year or two for a new team to gel.

That was all wires crossed. Someone said, "we're in st helens, it's still 1970, you need to blend in, don't forget your platform shoes and flares" and then there's the inevitable mix up.
Easy mistake! |

Does anyone know how many tickets you have sold for the friendly at Langtree Park, I believe the crowd will be limited to 10,000 for this game and I am curious to see how many tickets we gave to Widnes?

Really can't see Widnes bringing anymore than half a mini bus full to your place for the friendly.
They'll probably bring one or two more for the league game there like. |

I'd imagine Widnes will provide you with 1000 or so speccies, maybe more. I doubt many of them will buy tickets beforehand, unless this is a requirement?
