They've set a precedent which I'm sure will be used next year when a similar ban occurs.

In all honesty cannot see that happening.The RFL disiciplnary are masters of shifting the goal posts to suit themselves, so that the precedent is nullified.

Anyway, should be a cracker on Saturday! Even more so now with all this angst in the air. I expect the atmosphere to be electric.

I think we should win, but I'll never not have my rectum twitching with playing Leeds at OT. Hope we can put those demons to bed.

this farce really has dampened my excitement for the game TBH - however I'm sure when it gets to Saturday my mood will have changed.

It's a weird one, in some ways it's a free hit for us, nobody thought we would get here after the start to the season - wasn't there a poll on Sky Sports where about 90% of people voted that we wouldn't make the top six?

But, now we are there I obviously want us to win, however much I tell myself it's OK to lose as we weren't really expecting it.

You'll say thot now but come Saturday you'll be sucked into the heat of battle wanting to smash those dirty cheating scouse lovers

Also I really thought you'd challenge before the season started and I had tipped you for 2nd. Forgot to take into account how abysmal Agar is! Now you've got a good coach I'm pretty sure your squad will see you challenging going forward now. I'm certainly not taking you for granted on Saturday

Yes Smith has been an absolute revelation and is worlds apart from Agar, however I will say that we had a terrible run of injuries in that first half of the season and along with our utter inability to not get players banned contributed to our terrible start.

I would actually argue that with our recent run we are actually the in form side in SL, and I think even Saints fans will admit that they haven't been at their best in the second half of this season.

it should be an absolute cracker

No appealing against the scoreline when we beat you, mind

Knowing our luck Knowles will score a late try to take it into golden point and Welsby will kick the one to win it.

You think the game will be that close? Awww that’s cute

Only teasing. It should be a good, close game. Im more calm than I ever have before a grand final but not super confident. We always seem to be in close games lately and you men seem to just find a way to win these days. So should be a good game.
