How the past three seasons has seen this Grand Final winning team just distingrate away.
I'm afraid another hammering is on the cards, but bugger it I'll be there behind the sticks shouting for us to win.

Looking at that makes it look even more grim. I'm predicting saints 50+, Bradford less than 20. Really not looking forward to it.
My provisional plan - should things go awry - is to work on getting chants of "You only sing when you're winning", and possibly "Can we play you every week", going.
I think you're being harsh... Don't forget we'll have Rinaldi who should be just about over the jet lag by then and will have had a good 3 days training. That should mean we don't have to play any enthusiastic youngsters! Saints won't know what's hit 'em
