Id wager Saints will make the 8 this year
They have beaten 2 sides that will fight it out for the spoon and got flogged by the sharks. Wish we had their draw to start with. They might still fall in to the 8 but they are not a great side.
Our draw to start feels like it was created by our worst enemy . Our 4 bogey sides the first 4 rounds . It’s the same as the redraw last year , we went from a relatively easy draw to the absolute hardest . I will say though once we get through these first 5 rounds we go through long periods of not playing the top sides , there’s a chance we can build momentum and confidence .
look at it as being like a vehicle it starts off slowly and gathers speed as it continues.We will get over the steep hill at the start and gather pace as we get to an easier section of the journey.
It happened with WT before (2005).
