Think Saints might upset Wire tbh.
I think I'm going with the evidence of this season which for my suggests they don't have enough attacking threat to beat wire. You never know though.
we’ll see, just feel they have a big game left in them yet and wire are a bit like emperors new clothes.Would be good to beat saints in the semi though 😂
it was close Williams the difference . What do I know😀

Depends if the rest will have been good for them. Same applies to us, of course. But it's a big ask for Wire to go to the well again after that effort, and away to boot.

And yeah, Williams the difference, absolutely. Bit of class showed.

I agree, FS. We shouldn't overlook the fact that we need to respect Leyth and beat them first

In terms of who I'd like us to play if we make it to the final, I think us v Rovers would be more entertaining. However, I'd feel more confident on the day if it was Wire. Their record in Grand Finals speaks for itself :lol: :lol: :lol:

None of this negates the point that we can be beaten whatever our expectations lead us to believe. I'm sure that our coach is cognisant of this.

And nothing I said suggested that, Archie, as the highlighted section above indicates.
