Saints are there for the taking. Like last year they and their fans are so up their own arris it’s unbelievable! I know cos I’ve stood there and watched them and suffered abuse when I’ve suggested that Daryl Clarke is better than Roby and that Luke Thompson is overrated! Warrington’s problem is not Saints... it’s themselves
Barring Leeds’s treble-winning side in 2015, the last decade of grand finals has shown that the side not finishing top (and often looking mediocre and downright rubbish at times) grinds out a GF victory. Take Wigan in 2016 for example, or Leeds in 2017. Plenty of rubbish performances throughout the season where fans were calling for the coach’s head. Then they somehow turn it on for the final. Of course, I’m not suggesting Warrington will do that, but looking second best all season has worked for most champion teams in recent history.
I do however agree that Saints are the most consistently good team, just as they were last season.
