| After last nights result does anybody get that dejavu feeling you oftent get as a Wire fan. You closest rivals have poor results that you could have capitalise on..............had you taken care of your own game. We "could" currently have been sitting second had they taken the 2 on the penalty. ............... such is the life of a wire

Yep. Had we beaten Wakey a few weeks back and won last night we'd be on 36pts and would have a shout at the LLS.

| Been a very interesting year this year. No team stands out. I'm amazed Saints are 5 points clear, their fans have written themselves off for the GF but I don't see why. If they can have so many missing and still be 1st they must have some confidence in their ability?

I suspect the reason that Saints fans aren't reviewing pubs near Old Trafford just yet is that they were absoltely woeful against a Leeds side who played with 12 man for an hour. If the ref hadn't incorrectly penalised Leeds incorrectly for a knock-on in the last minutes of thegame they may have hung on.
Saints finishing top is fine, well done to them, but the quality of the comp, the quality of the rugby and the attendances have been poor.

You're right that we were woeful against a 12 man leads but that only reaffirmed our beliefs that we wouldn't get to the GF rather than instigate them. The fact that we lost our star signing who is also our main man in terms of play-making, organisation and goal kicking, plus our best full back who could play scrum half in emergencies, PLUS our emergency backup scrum half who isn't brilliant but still allows us to play somewhat to our ability is why we have written off our chances. Shit happens, the LLS is a crumb of comfort after a pretty good season and a signal that we are at least back in the hunt. Next year will be the year we pin our hopes on I imagine.
Agree the quality of the league hasn't been good this year, I also think the same about pretty much every SL season since 2009.

I've seen Saints, Wigan, ourselves and Huddersfield look terrible on a few occasions this season and that's four of the top 6. Leeds were terrible at the HJ and away to Saints. So that's 5 of the top 6. The only team who've performed well almost every time I've seen them have been Cas. And maybe that's because I don't expect as much from them because of previous season's quality with them so I've been more easily impressed with them.
In other words, Super League is full of inconsistent and a mixed bag in quality of teams.
Would this squad of players win SL
Or is it just one of those years?

Look at the replay mate. He is square.
It`s the Wire no try that stinks.

Well the second Harrison try (and it was a try because it was given) might stink, but so did Huddersfield's 80 minutes of wrestling after the held call, slowing down the ptb, constant 3rd and 4th man flopping onto the completed tackle, and continuous offsides made the games really tedious for me. Not quite up to Wigan's standard, but getting there.

This is where the game is being spoiled because referees haven't got the commitment to stamp their authority on games by penalising foul play which is evident in every game around the ruck area. Most teams are doing it unpunished resulting in very little yardage made with ball in hand & having to finish with a hurried kick upfield which is making our game look like a version of rugby union.Start dishing penalties & sin bins out for offside, not square ,lying on a bit more often & coaches will soon get the message.The refs could play a big part in opening the game up.

Huddersfield have been doing that for years, not just in that 80 minutes. How do you think Chris Nero made a living.....
