I can't believe the amount of negativity on this board tonight. We've just got to the Grand Final ffs!!! We're gonna have a cracking night out. If we get beat then so what, nobody expected us to get there anyway.

Warrington and Wigan are gonna knock the hell out of each other. It'll hopefully be an intense, absorbing and ultimately draining battle between them. And I hope the winner limps into that grand final next week to play us. Enough of all this negativity now, bad calls by referees, SKY being biased against us etc Like the title of this thread, I remember 99 so well. Bradford steam rollered everyone that year. They were a major feature in Stevo's wa*k bank. Bradford were gonna stuff us. But through sheer grit, last ditch defence and a little bit of luck, we beat them on the night. Only a fool would write us off next week, no matter who we play. Saints, even without our key players can pull out a performance. We can win...

It's a good achievment to top the league and get to Old Trafford with the injuries we suffered to key players during the year.

Maybe at the back of my mind it might have come at bad as we will be massive massive underdogs, probably the biggest since hull played a very good saints team.

At the end of the day, it gives us a 50/50 chance and anything can happen.

Anyone else think Wello didn't knock on under their sticks? Looked to me like he kicked it and he was certainly claiming that to the ref. Oddly Sky commentators didn't notice.

Yep I noticed that. Also noticed they scored off one of the worst forward passes one seen and also noticed they should have had a player sent off for a kick/trip.

You will need to play a lot better next week whoever you play just hope it's the wire.congrats on getting there but I think who ever wins tomorrow night will win the gf.

Its quite ironic that a Wire fan is giving Saints advice on how well they need to play in a big occasion.

Can we also mention the two badly attempted spear tackles that deserved a penalty at least but Silverwood wasn't interested.
