Well, we've got a better chance than Leeds!
As for Bazdev, didn't I see somewhere he'd been banned? What a pity it seems not..................arrogant muppet
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
Might have been written by a footballer about football - but never a truer word............
You're not serious, surely ? We're now to judge the potential of young individual players by how their youth level teams got on in finals against Wigan ?!?! Are you being serious ? I hope not, that's one of the daftest arguments I think I've ever heard. Percival will never amount to much because he lost an U15's game against Wigan !!!!!
Brilliant.
Winning GF's at a younger age isn't the be all and end all though is it? It's about developing youngsters to progress through to the 1st team. I know that you are getting at Wigan beating us which they have done at a younger age but who remembers that in years to come?
We have blooded youngsters as have Wigan.
It all depends which saints team turns out. Our defence is enough to keep us in big games, but our composure and attack lets us down a lot. If we can give 2 80 minute performances i cant see why we cant win it.
Saints until i Die!!!!
Nothing says more about how brilliant this Wigan side currently is than the fact that many fans still think Saints, missing Lomax, Walsh and Wilkin, have a chance of winning the Grand Final.
Can anybody imagine how many would have given Wigan a hope in a Grand Final against Saints a few years back missing Farrell, Lam and Radlkinski etc ?
Yeah the same people giving them a chance are the exact same people who said completely the opposite after you lost in France to Catalans. Brown out was the major thread at the time.
Wigan never get any repect on here from anybody but Reacher, who to his credit did last week after the Huddersfield game. All you get to hear is Wigan are rubbish, SL is rubbish, unless it's Saints that win. Whilst I acknowledge the bitterness/hatred between the two sides (Both ways), I think Saints get far more respect for the trophies they won in the past than we do. Should we go back to back, no doubt there will be a reason for it
And since that GF win 8 years ago we have won 3 major trophies, you have won 4. So this all singing, all dancing Wigan side you keep telling us about have been only 1 trophy more successful than a Saints side undergoing a major transformation on and off the field and 2 seasons of ridiculously bad injuries.
Congratulations.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
It's been 31 years, since 1974, we last won a major (trophy and) Andrew Johns and Natty (Nathan Wood), our two oldest players were born in 1974 so it's a little bit spooky,
There is a common trait in teams at this point in the season that they seem to sit back and wait for somebody to win the game for them. And we had too many of our players waiting for someone to win the game.
"interfacing at the ruck"
"winning the go-forward"
"i thought we won the collision"
We We , The royal we. The average Saints fan has seen more Wigan games than you have. Yes of course you can have an opinion, it is my opinion Saints have been by far the best club to grace the game since world war 2 but I bet that opinion would not go down on other message boards.
Fair enough, I wasn't sure if u won it that year.
We won 2 hubcaps ourselves but I wouldn't count it being honest. But if some want to then fair enough I don't particularly care for it but it is still an achievement I suppose, although winning it and not winning the GF in 2012, is up there with my biggest disappointments as a Wigan fan.

actually theirs very few on here who expect us to beat wigan in the grand final. YOU sir are the wiganer on a saints forum claiming you would back wigan to beat saints 10 times out of 10. then you have the nerve to complain that WE don't show wigan enough respect!!!!
you're hilarious pal. give your head a wobble
