We need to be realistic. Saints are by far the best team in SL and we are about the 8th best in the Championship. If we can keep them under 80 points and manage to score ourselves then we will have done well. Let’s just enjoy the day and not be too disappointed when the best team in the country put a big score on us. Enjoy it because no team in the Championship has had a day like this for many a year and it will likely be a while before it happens again.

Think the last time a championship club got so far was hull kr

Why no QLT in our squad? If no other reason then dropped then my estimation of Grix has just gone rapidly downhill!

Threw the dumbass pass that gave Dewsbury a draw last week but dropping him for his brother is a contentious call.

Re: Semi final prediction thread : Thu Jul 25, 2019 1:10 pm  

If so then sorry but Grix has made a stupid call. QLT is one of the few we have who can trouble saints. This ranks up there with Strudwick putting Eadie 2nd row. Stupid stupid call. QLT carved up super league last year and is one of the few who can create something. One of the few players to cause doubt in the defence and you can bet saints have spoken about him this week. If he has just been dropped then thats one of the dumbest decisions ever and for me for team selection. Lets be honest its not about defence they will score a bucket load, its about having a go, so you need your strike players. We've left ours out it seems for no reason other then team selection. If this is the case. Might be injured who knows.

Re: Semi final prediction thread : Thu Jul 25, 2019 1:55 pm  

I presume QLT is injured.

Re: Semi final prediction thread : Thu Jul 25, 2019 2:54 pm  

QLT would have opened up Saints defence in the last 20 minutes. I'm now confident we'll be nilled. Scott Grix has been average at best.

QLT, though his effort and brain farts have been of concern, he's set up try after try. He can draw a man and miss a man in off the cuff rugby.

I'm now confident of a Saints handicap bet on the coupon.

Re: Semi final prediction thread : Thu Jul 25, 2019 2:58 pm  

If he's injured fair enough. If not my rant is warranted. People on Facebook saying Grix is better. Sorry but Grix can't do half of what QLT can do with ball in hand. Yes Grix is tough but lets be honest we are gonna concede points, lots, so might as well have a go. I'd have preferred to drop Kaye who runs through mud and have QLT on the bench.

Sorry but its a shocking decision, bloody stupid. I know I'll drop the one player that can get through any defence, is elusive and backs up. Grix got it majorly wrong on this one.
