Unlike you Nicky ,if those players leave we will replace them with a mixture of quality and youth .You let Bateman and Ratboy go and replaced them with Escare Sammut and a couple of kids.That because you are Skint.

Ah the Saints youth!!

Whilst Wigans first team have been winning Grand Finals, Challenge Cups and WCC, their academy has won nine of the last eleven Grand Finals and currently lead the table again.

And for age the current Wigan 1st team is younger than the Saints one, who have about six or seven aged 30 or over. A recent report also showed that Wigan have the fewest overseas players in Superleague.

btw is your map to Wembley still on parchment?

I know a few Saints fans that have recently had to buy the Bohemian Rhapsody movie to remind them of their last wins there.

I can't believe how bad Lomax has played in this semi, somebody somewhere said he was the standout player in super league?

To be fair, Halifax have given us more of a game than Wigan have this season and they are part time

we will take that as a concession that Lomax isn't the standout player some people believe he is then

Wait till we see the teams, 3 games before final, not and never would wish injury on anyone but it'll be a long month for both teams, anything could happen.

Saints should win comfortably but they struggled to put a mid table championship side away yesterday, so it looks like there’s still some mental frailties they’ll need to overcome. They’re probably lucky to be playing the frailest of them all when it comes to winning finals though.

Not Challenge Cup finals though. Warrington have a good record there.

Warrington have more final experience recently (although they lost the last five they've played in) - think its too close to call.

You could argue that Saints played as badly in the semi this year as they did in last year's. They looked a bit lost without Coote.

A lot will depend on how healthy the squads are in a month's time.
