Can they be beaten?

Yes

Time will tell

They were SL champions last season with absolute ease, despite having the worst Injury and suspension crisis in SL history.

Who can stop them this season?

Wigan and their only game plan of give it to field and hope for the best? Back end of last season this game plan was utterly impotent as everyone had worked it out. Not a sniff they will be anywhere near winning SL with their awful pack.

Warrington and their “let’s ignore the salary cap and sign any NRL reject we can”? Top 6 possibly but no chance of winning SL

Despite Leeds fans thinking they have the best team in SL on paper, they will be lucky to make the top 4

5 on the trot for St Helens

The Leopards.

Is this your prediction ?

Sadfish handing our resident troll a free tap in.

The worst suspension and injury crisis in SL history ??

I'm no fan of Cas but, they take this prize with ease and Leeds too are probably in front of you.
Even Trinity had major injury issues.

As usual, you are gilding the lily.
Having said that, Saints are without doubt the team to beat and will very likely win the comp.

Provide evidence of any Leeds fans thinking they have the best team in SL on paper. Other than you repeatedly posting that claim, I've not seen it anywhere.

Most Leeds fans are quite happy we'll be moving away from mid table obscurity and building to start competing at the top end again. Saints have had it easy the last few years, all the usually contenders have been distinctly average.

I know everyone else knows you're a troll of the lowest calibre but you dont half talk s**t

Depending on injuries to Saints we are clear favourites again this year. Wigan & Huddersfield to push hard this year.

The lad behind Paul Wellens is the new superstar at Saints this year............GEORGE DELANEY............... Look out Superleague.

I’ve said the same thing about Wigan for the past 4 years and was proved correct lmao. Therefore I don’t talk s***

Just because you are insecure, needy and can’t handle someone saying something negative about Wigan, doesn’t make me a troll.

Saints can stop themselves this year. Travelling to Aus for what will be 2 tough very physical games. Likely to be injuries and fatigue from the travelling. If they do pick up the injuries I wouldn't be surprised to see a slow start to the season.

I agree with you with regards the fatigue, jet lag and possible injuries but if Saints really want to win this game, they will need to be playing at their peak performance at this early stage of the 2023 season.

It will be then very difficult to play the rest of the season at that level and to peak again for the Super League play-offs.

It’s not great to be bored with a new SL season before it has even kicked off.

Well done St Helens. Both genuinely and sarcastically.

Anybody got any suggestions for vaguely interesting sub-plots? I’m thinking maybe how Leigh go this time around.

I didn't really rate Woolf that much who in my view just took credit for the work Holbrook did. It will be interesting to see if Wellens is Cunningham-esque or if he actually has what it takes (which shouldn't be very much if you listen to our resident St Helens troll).

This is every Saints fans thoughts?

Probably just start peaking at the end of the season and win it from 6th place.

No. Boring. Wake up when Saints have won. Next.

Well they were stopped in their mission to retain the Challenge Cup.

OP is talking about proper trophies. No one really cares about the challenge cup these days

Is it because Saints didnt win the CC.
The trophy with least value is prob LLS .

My sources tell me that the St Helens coaching staff cannot believe how fit and sharp the players are when they started pre season. Compared to mutterings from Wigan at how unfit and unmotivated they seemed to be. 5 in a row is in the bag. With Lewis Murphy rejecting all contract talks with Wakefield because he wants to sign for St helens next season and the 2 most talented young players in England, Robertson and Whitby making their first team debuts next season, I think 6 in a row will be on the cards
