I'd say based on the quality of the two sides Saints should win. The league table isn't lying. But it wasn't last season and the best side often doesn't win the trophies due to only needing to lose a solitary game to mess up 9 months of superiority.

The only thing that is certain is that the duck will claim to be a genius. He'll either say I told you so, told you we'd win. Or he'll say that you'll batter us when they're all fit and proclaim he's had a vision of a Grand Final win.

Saddened you disappoint me.
Usually you have some gravity of sense...
Let me ground you some....and all the the tyre kickers of my own team.

Turn the clock back to the point everyone was in unity about a 2 horse race and nothing but a fag paper between Saints and Wire...and the point ahead of the one game everyone wanted to see.

THAT is at least where a true Wire ability lies...not a 'form line' where parameters change with injury and suspension over 3 months.

70/30, carnage, walkover, 30 on them, thrash them...
Some of the stuff I've read. Utter bollox. These 2 teams will be switched on at their premium best...and the nearest to formline we had at that point was what I wrote in paragraph 2.

Anyone who thinks Saints only have to turn up...will find themselves falling a very high drop.

If we win, it will all be set up for cliched post-match interviews on the pitch:

Random Warrington player: "Nobody's give us a pruur, aport from those lads in that dressing room, it just shors the character an spirit what's in this side, and hopefully our season can kick off from here now and mek that Grand Final"

Holbrook: "No I wouldn't say we underestimated them, Warrington are a top class side, they've shown that over the last couple of years, very good on the big occasion. I think they just played better on the day, handled the collisions better, came at us with more intensity. I can't really fault the effort of our boys but Warrington's execution was just better".

I agree, Warrington are in terrible form but if we win it won't be an upset on the scale of Sheffield Eagles 1998. More on the scale of Hull 2005 or Catalans 2018.

I think if you played this game 10 times in parallel universes Warrington would win 2, possibly 3.

Agree with that SC

You mean you and Saints fans, most on here dismissed such nailed on two horse twaddle, as we never have looked the real deal even when we several points clear of third.

I am massively pessimistic about this weekend,

BUT...

I do want to wish all 17 who pull on a Wire shirt on Saturday all the very best - give it your best shot and win lose or draw I will be proud to be a Wire fan (but if you drift around and play like you've never been introduced to each other then I will be venting my spleen on here!)

Come on you Wire, believe it or not we're all firmly behind you!!

Same, I'm going down and I'm going to enjoy it regardless. I don't think we stand a chance of winning but stranger things have happened. I think beating saints in a final would heal the wounds of the hoodoo, however I feel sick to the stomach about the prospect of losing to them adding to it!

You don’t know how lucky you are! Is it 6 Wembley appearances in 10 years? Most clubs fans would give their all for that! The best day out in the rugby calendar and you’re starring in it again!! Wow. Enjoy the day! Cry when they play abide with me have a few drinks sing your hearts out for your boys!! Wear that primrose and blue with massive pride! I’ll be doing just that in my black and white in the Mickey Mouse thing we’re involved with! Whatever the outcome good or bad be proud of your town and your club. You’ll be surprised how quickly things can go downhill! Good luck!!
