How the hell did this thread start turning into yet another Saints vs Wigan bitchfest!?

Keep to the original topic (As misguidedly titled as it is) or else it'll get locked.

Agree that they're a dying breed but you're doing Dowes and Cusack a disservice there; they are both very skilful with ball-in-hand.

the book makers have installed hull fc as 3rd favorites.

our squad looks well balanced even with out the centre we all wanted and graeme horne, craig hall and tom briscoe must all be congratulated on how their are following agars team plan.

obviously all teams have injuries but when the ground gets harder i'm looking forward to seeing the better ball playing players move into our 'non pivotal' postions.

i think leeds are out on their own because of their squad depth but if saints can keep fit they have a 17 who can certainly challange them.

for us i'd take a top 6 and good form going in to the play offs but i expect another 10 teams feel the same.

Weren't many of your lot sporting something similar 4-5 years ago when Robinson, O'Loughlin, Danny Sculthorpe and a few others were coming through - not really happended for you though as a team has it?

yer none Goulding, Hock, O'Loughlin, O'carroll, Hansen, Mcilluroum, Prescott, joel tomkins, sam tomkins, ainscough and coming through the ranks now is the likes of liam farrell, lee mossop, logan tomkins


How do you get your players? you have to buy your players from Wigan - sean long, lee gilmoure, bryn heargreaves....

There is no point training up great young players if you give them away as your scouts are the worst in the league and cant see a talent if it hit them over the head!
