Out of the so called 4 big clubs Wigan,Warrington and St Helens are not going to Wembley and you fans jest between yourselves?
You all urgently need to up your game otherwise it'll be a Whino white wash this season

Oddly enough, it's always the case that at least two of the big four don't get to Wembley.

Quite often three don't make it.

Not sure why this is such a crisis that Wigan fans need to lose their sense of humour.

Plus, if you think we're going to shed a tear that 'fellow Lancastrians' Warrington were knocked out by a Yawwwkshire team, you don't understand the first thing about life in the real world.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility but I can't see it to be honest. Think Wire will win the CC whilst they know it's their whole season and Leeds to beat Saints in the Grand Final

Strange one, we've shown flashes of looking like a real contender some weeks but other we look clueless. But we've proved we can beat every team. We just have to win our final 2 games and we're champions. Goes without saying but whoever hits form at the right time will win the final.

I still think that Saints will be the team to beat. Leeds seem to have the advantage over them but I can't see them beating Saints 4 or 5 times out of 5.
We are too lightweight in the pack and I don't think we have the intensity to win matches when it counts.
I'm not the best tipster in the world as Mr Patrick Power and Mr Billy Hill will testify so hopefully I am way off beam and we can pull off a surprise.

Is it just me, or does that make no sense at all?

I don't think Leeds are miles better than us and Saints. We know we can beat them and for a large period of their CC Semi, Saints had them on the rocks and a better half back combo would've put more points on them.

I also don't think the gap between the top 3 and Huddersfield is that big and they may shake a few things up in the Super 8s.

Saints fans must be shocked at how poorly that halfback combo is performing. They had huge hopes for Burns and Walsh looked a class apart pre his injury issues.

My grammar probably affected by too much Wainrights bitter!
What I was trying to say was that although Leeds have beaten them 3 out of 3 on the law of averages if nothing else I would expect Saints to beat them at least once in 4 or 5 attempts in a season.
As I said though I am helping to keep Mr Patrick Power in the lifestyle that he has become accustomed to so in terms of a tipster I would take my posting with a high health warning!

the GF this year will be Saints V Wigan and I'm not so sure Leeds will even win the League Leaders shield; they are due another stint of dodgy performances and / or bad luck or form and the extra fixture with the CC Final will not help them.
