Likewise, it would be hilarious and not having them on sky so often would be great as well. They’d come straight back up anyway so the idea that it would be damaging for Super League is rubbish. Not like they’re contributing a great deal now anyway.

Not as funny as Saints fans giving it the big one all of last year only to choke when it mattered as per usual. ;(

Maths is fine, see
Leeds vs Saints GF wins
Leeds - 4
Saints - ZERO

Why? Because I support a team whose won plenty of silverware? Don’t act like you’re any better as I’ve seen you giving it out towards Leeds plenty this season even on the Leeds board a couple of times acting smug.

Getting back on topic, we definitely have the harder run in compared to Warrington. We play them away twice. If they can pick up 4 points from them it’s game on for the race for top. The only thing that gives me a bit of comfort is that Warrington are so patchy so I can see them beating us then losing against one of the lesser teams.

We will finish top, just and it will be a Saints v Hull grand final with Wakefield relegated

I think we are getting to the stage of the season were shock results are starting to surface. The likes of Leeds, Hull K R, and London are desperate to avoid relegation and will beat some of the higher placed teams.
Saints + Warrington are pretty nailed on for top 2, it’s interesting who will get that 5th place.

I don't think Warrington are quite stronig enough to nick top now - it's certainly not impossible but I'm very confident Saints will hold on at the top - I can't see us losing both of the Warrington games.

I think we'll win the first one and may even rest players for the second.

I think that 6pt cushion is allowing us to rest and rotate quite a few players instead of flogging them all like last season. Warrington are a bit different they struggle when the likes of Ratchford, Clark and Austin are not in the side, the likes of Austin I think has played in every game this season, will they flog Clark and Austin to win the LLS I'm not sure. I should imagine if the gap is still the same with 8 games to play they will settle for 2nd place as both teams get 2 bites of the cherry play off.

Ratchford is out injured and clark was rested last week against hull kr,...............probably why we lost!

In Printers defence I assume maths isn't a strong point. And if your maths isn't great how do you count? By using your fingers and thumbs!!! Problem is he's from Leeds and using that method causes problems... hence the additional couple of years inadvertently added onto his post. (just a little Lancs-Yorks bit of banter their Mr Printer )

I'd love to see Leeds go down tbh. A year without the Leeds Symphonic Orchestra playing live on Sky every other week and not having to listen to "Marching on together" is my idea of RL heaven.

Am with you on that. Wish that drummer would stick his drum up a dark place. Always have sound turned down when Leeds are on every other game.
