Must be your second team with all the ex- Wiganers in there !
They looked a different team last night to the one that played us. Ball security was shocking. Must have turned up at Bradford too. Put it down to an off night.
Not @rsed about a top two finish.
With the new playoff system a top four spot will do very nicely,allowing us to nurse the youngsters in along the way.
[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.

Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".

I agree they play some good rugby and if they improve their ball retention I think they will do well.
I am not overly impressed with Hull, we should have beat then at the KC.
Tickle's doing well for my fantasy league team though.
SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row
We haven't really played a top team yet to determine if we are "top two" material but we are winning what is infront of us all and all you can ask for.

I thought the same myself. Not taking anything away from Hull, they've had a really good start and you couldn't ask for much more at this stage of the season. But they haven't been massively tested yet. Yesterday's game was probably their toughest on paper, but Huddersfield didn't play well.
If they come to Saints or Leeds and perform well then we'll have to take more notice. They'll definitely reach the Play Offs.

Agreed. Hull looked dangerous nearly every time they were near Hudds line in the first half and should have had at least one or two other scores to their name at half-time. Still conceding soft tries though which could very easily be the difference between a win and a loss against a well-drilled side not making countless errors or playing crap like Huddersfield generally did tonight.
You look a compact, efficient and will drilled unit capable of capitalising on other teams lack of consistency and that would warrant a place in the top-six.
However, tougher tests lie ahead and time will tell throughout the season...

I think Leeds may take 2nd spot again this year.
I doubt it, but if they do you'll find yourselves in 3rd

we played poorly in attack, we should've been out of sight at half time, but still, winning when not at full strength or playinhg well is a good sign, saints usually win games like that.............
