Saints, Wire, Leeds and ourselves could beat each other on any given day. The form of all four has been up and down but come the business end I expect that to be the top four and predicting a winner will be next to impossible.

We happen to be in good form at the minute but I won't sit here and make bold statements about us being better then the others (like a couple of Saints fans did on here earlier in the year with one in particular saying Saints would 'end us' with a full team). I back us, we're a good team but there isn't a great deal to choose between those four. I'd be surprised if any other team (outside of those four)won the Grand Final but we'll see.

I just wonder if we'll get a little more respect on here from Saints fans in the build up to our next game? It wasn't all of them obviously but the self love and on the flip side the writing off of the Wigan side was embarrassing.

Good post as always mate.

I'd personally narrow the contenders down to Saints, Wigan and Leeds, in no particular order. I'm not being disrespectful to Warrington, I just don't think they have the consistency to go all the way to a Grand Final and win it. The fact Tony Smith doesn't seem to have a clue what his best team is doesn't help.

We don't need that much consistency. We need to be fourth and then to win two matches. At present, I'd put us behind the top 3, but over the full season I expect us to be fourth (at worst) and then it's open season.

You will need to show consistency to get 4th though; especially as the final 7 games will all be tricky.

True. This bit of the new system certainly works.

I think so too. I wouldn't go with the cliche of "every minute matters" but there's certainly not much room for slacking off after the split. I can't see anyone being in a position to be able to coast through those final few weeks before the semi's.

Every minute has mattered for us last two weeks! 13 seconds to go last week, 3 seconds this week.

only 4 sides can win the sl gf imo this season and they are wigan,saints,wolves and rhinos

Must be a good weekend when we have " Guests " on here talking sense and not having a go at Wigan, welcome aboard.
For my two penny worth, we are going ok, away form still needs to improve, think squad depth will be vital and we seem to be ok on that, if Lockers stays fit massive plus, " youngsters coming along nicely, Budgie got his form back, every game does matter, looking forward to the next batch of games, intensity should go up a couple of notches, we shall see.

Well thats nothing new bearing in mind you'd have to go back nine years for a club (other than the four mentioned) to appear in the GF. Never mind win it.

I think it's pretty much safe to assume the Grand Finalists will be two of the four.
