Covid worked in their favour over any other team.
Coote is a decent signing but the test of their signing for next year are pretty poor. Mostly championship players. They will be a fair bit of playoffs next year in my opinion.
Saints will go on to win 4 in a row.
We were a .500 team, so I’m not getting carried away. However, I think the idea that our fixture list was hugely unbalanced is itself unbalanced. We played LLS winners Catalans 3 times and missed out on a second game against a struggling Salford.
Saints, Wire and Hull - you say we were lucky to miss games against them but also make a point about us not taking points off them, when doing so is more difficult when you play fewer games against them. The problem you have is that without Hull the list is short and with them it looks a bit daft.
