When they (Sintellins) come, maybe we could get a hologram of the late Jim Bowen with the Challenge Cup, saying "look what you could've won".

Eamon no brows will be seen to mutter "Robbed, we were. Bloody robbed"

If that's an afternoon fixture I'll deffo take that on board! I maybe old fashioned but I love Saturday afternoon fixtures. A rare luxury since ancient times!

It's closer for a lot of their fans than their own place.

Isn't he an albino which is a protected characteristic. Seriously you had better be careful with your comments.

So Saints handed another advantage of no travel to Toronto and basically another home game for them.

AFAIK it's the loop fixtures that Toronto have surrendered 'home' advantage for. Not fair to expect Saints to go to Canada twice.
That said, the whole loop fixtures idea is a farce. After tomorrow something like 20% of Steve Price's games as coach will have been against Wigan. Sick of the sight of them.

Doubt that would have the desired effect given they won the bigger prize.
