I think you would need different people picking the video replays to change perceptions.

Am I the only person that thinks that Saints look very ordinary?! Wigan or Wire will win the league in my opinion.

No, see my post. How the feck Leeds, with the quality of their squad, failed to make the final, or even the semis, is beyond belief. In fact it's a joke & a disgrace.

Winning the play-offs or even getting to the final, is only a little to do with quality, even though having a good team obviously helps. Like most cup competitions it's much more to do with keeping most of your 'best' players available, the luck with the draw, bounce of the ball, being lucky with the odd decision [or two] and it just being your day.

Why do I suspect you knew that already..It is a J & D though..

The officiating of last nights game was nothing short of disgraceful - even "sky ref pundit" Cummins was perplexed by some of the decisons!!

Catalans did look knackered in the 2nd half but i didn't think much of Saints - i expect them to get well beaten next week by the winners of tonights game - i'm going for Wigan but it could be close..

Lets just hope the game is not spoilt with incompetence from the officials like last night!!

This play off series has been poor when you consider Leeds, the challenge cup winners, lost to Catalan who then went on to lose to a very ordinary Saints team, having beaten a very ordinary Huddersfield in between. Saints, although without three of their best players through injury, have the weakest squad to make a grand final that I can remember. I think whoever plays Saints in the final will beat them.

I literally don't even know who's in the playoffs that's the monumental level to which I've turned my back on Superleague. Starbug would be very proud.

Same here. I didn't even know there was a game on last night.

I only have eyes for the NRL at the moment. Agent Provocateur would be proud.

It's looking like a Cas v Wakey final.
