They have the perfect blend of power and mobility in the pack, creativity in the centre and pace out wide. They have a good blend of youth and experience as well. The big thing is that they have pace out from the back, they suffered for years against leeds in the grand finals because of this, but no more.
They have that winning mentality back and they'd be my tip for at least 1 of the 2 trophies on offer this year. I would have them down for the CC but it looks like once again wigan will get a bye through to the final.
Woah woah woah. Let's just hang on before crowning the champions.
Saints were poor today. The first 20 minutes they were breathtaking. The makinson try in particular was as good as any try scored so far this year. But then they got sloppy. I'm not sure if it was a mental thing, or deliberate - but they decided to just stop playing - I think they knocked on 6 times between the 20th and the 30th minute! They invited hudderfield back into the game (not to take anything away from Huddersfield, I think their forwards controlled the game from the 2nd quarter onward) it then took ALOT of repeat sets on the Huddersfield line to get over for makinsons second - saints were disjointed today and under firing because of the job Huddersfield did.
That said, they found a way to (controversially) win. Which is something saints have been lacking over the last few years.
