Not really. They're fitter and faster than us and will nullify any scenario we play by the second half. First half i imagine will be close.

Unless of course food poisoning sweeps through the saints camp

Or a freak hurricane.

God forbid they just don't want the media there asking the players questions all morning/afternoon so they can just focus on the game, always has to be a conspiracy.
And maybe Austin just isn't ready and they're saving him for a grand final push, and it's not mind games.

Exactly. Makes me laugh how much saints are building us up, we have lost the last 5 games in appalling fashion. They're building us up to make their win bigger or their loss a bit more palatable. They're massive favourites, if we win it will be a huge upset, we have good players on paper but we have an abysmal playing style that makes good players look like amateurs. I don't give us a prayer, it's saints to lose and they know it!

Stop saying this FFS. The gap in points nullifies this line of thinking. We’ve been garbage for weeks and you know it as much as we do, or evidently you don’t. Of course you’re massive favourites. It’s not like you’re only ahead on points difference. Your lot like crowing how bad we are and how we’re equidistant from the bottom and the top... until it suddenly doesn’t suit your agenda.

My point is it depends on your definition of massive.

We are firm favourites, but I don't think you can equate this final to the Wigan Sheffield final.

I would say it is more like when leeds played Cas in 2014.

£10 on Saints gets you £13.30 back
£10 on Warrington gets you £40 back

Massive favourites.

Am I wrong? Does 1st v 2nd accurately tell the story? Deep down you know you're big favourites. On the form guide for the last 5 games we are bottom of the list!
