What a game and another victory for the mighty SAINTS.
Dumped the whinos out of the cup and we're on course for a 4th succsessive challenge cup win !
HA HA HA up yours Leeds !
Come on you saaaaaaaints !!!

Great game, Leeds at the end could have easily snatched it tbh.

Not as shocking as the Bulls earlier though

McGuire86 · 5th April 2009, 18:56

we dominated most of the game tbh.
if we had our main kicker (long) it would have been 28.
anyway don't care we beat rhinos in their own yard - love it

Just a shame about the last two big grand finals though.

Leeds seem to pull it out of the bag on that occasion.

I was pleased to see them get smashed in the world club final recently, especially as when we (quins) beat leeds last season the fans were chanting best team in world....

erm no

McGuire86 · 5th April 2009, 19:02

yeah but the last grand final it was raining, lol no excuse really but everyone knows saints are a team built for dry conditions.
but we cant win everything would be boring for the game.
was suprised to see quins get smashed by huddersfield

Wheeler did a good job kicking last game, unlucky he got injured

Wasnt an excuse, they were the better team on the night and fair play to them.
I still believe that we are the best team in super league, we beat them away in the league, in the cup and in the play offs last year we just fell at the final hurdle.
This season we have done them twice in 2weeks.
The grand final will prob be saints and leeds again and if we turn up we will beat them

As long as wigan dont win ill be happy to see saints lift it.

Great trophy, I had the pleasure of spending some time with it recently.

McGuire86 · 5th April 2009, 19:16

Well I said whoever won between saints and leeds today would go on to win the cup.
As for the Grand Final i'm not sure but theres a good chance of being the same two in the final again

Ryan^p · 5th April 2009, 19:17

The history of the thing is fantastic.

In league many sides have beaten the top two in one of games. Leeds/st Helens clearly are the better sides week in week out, however both prone to loosing games against 'lesser sides' aswell. Theres a long way to go and they are not that far ahead of some of the teams for a slight upset imo

McGuire86 · 5th April 2009, 19:22

Well yeah theres a long way to go between now and 4th October with injuries ect alot could happen, I just think saints and leeds will be there or thereabouts come the play offs.
As for the challenge cup it depends on the draw but Im pretty confident we can go all the way again, we just seem to dominate that cup and have done the past 5 years

Ryan^p · 5th April 2009, 19:25

Still a long way off Wigans run from 88-95 though.

Amazing how they were a superpower in the sport and are now second rate.

Youve won it the last 3 thats not 5

McGuire86 · 5th April 2009, 19:28
