Touche.

Steady on mate, Mrs Barista will be rubbing her hands getting ready to post as we speak!

As the OP stated big question for the players to answer at Huddersfield on Friday

Are the team genuine contenders for the grand final or not?

I genuinely believe the answer will be yes.

Without doubt.

And having the semi-final and final weeks off should help us, no doubt.

Justin will earn his money preparing the boys for Friday.

We also owe them for the home defeat earlier in the year.

He could start by ordering 17 head guards, surely some referee is going to make them pay in a game, they aim at the head all the time, but its been sanctioned by the RFL so refs seem to ignore it.

Yes I'm sure this will be part of Justin's team talk, and General Zod is right the weekends off will help (I am trying to put some positive spin on yesterday), and hopefully tire Saints a tad.

i was just saying to my mate and he agreed that i think you may find the second half of sl09 a bit tougher than the first. think you will finish between 4th and 7th. looking a bit light in front row for mine. when the pressure was on against wire you didnt really look like winning it, at the end it was all wire to be fair.

5 DG attempts to 1 says it all. i understand the kick off helps a team get the first crack at the DG in golden point but 5 to 1 isnt good. carvell and moz were awesome in the final 3rd of the game.

Here we go....................

At last we agree on something
