I can’t see past saints,what I would atleast like to see is us competing and giving them a big scare.8 days off before then so should be well rested and ready to rip in.hoping maybe another body back out of foster and moors but if not the team we had out last night is capable of a good performance.

Heart says Cas as always but have to agree with this, Can only see a Saints win but I hope we play like we know we can and push them close and put some heart and guts into the performance.

Think Saints will be way too strong. Outwide they are much better than us and can match us up the middle.

For me it's about getting through the match without injuries. Recoup then have a run of 9/10 games where they are all winnable.

It`s time they ditched "Magic Weekend" or go back to "local derbys.

Hull v Hull KR
4 Lancashire clubs play each other- different each year.
4 West Riding clubs play each other - different every year.

Cats plays London or whoever else is in SL.

Why should we be playing the best side in SL (by a country mile) in more or less a "home" match for them, when they are geographically about 60 miles away. We don`t stand a "snowball in hells" chance of winning. We will do well to keep the deficit down to less than 50.

How do they work out the pairings??

I know we only beat lowly Leeds but I feel more optimistic with a win under our belt, Saints are by far the best team in the competition a big ask for the lads to turn them over, I shall be watching Saints V Salford tonight hoping Salford get stuck in to them

Have to go with some attitude about us and a bit of passion to upset the applecart. Get in their faces early on and put some energy into our defence.

If we're going to lose, do it in a disrespectful fashion. We've been too easy for Saints recently and look like we admire them and let them get a roll on.

Don't want to go and see us get battered. I want to go and see us batter Saints, physically, mentally and if we can - on the scoreline. :D

saints to win for me but if we have turned a corner then I want us to be in their faces and make it competitive.if we are blown away then it is just that leeds are that bad.i want us to win so badly but if we keep them to say 22-14 or so then I will be really optimistic for the rest of the season.

If you take it to Saints they're beatable. Too many teams show them too much respect before a balls kicked.

Salford doing well so far.
Saints seem to be panicking in the last quarter. It seem they want to score on every play.
Roby will be back next week so a level head will calm it a bit.
Saints line speed is quicker than usain bolt, I’d like to see us try a chip over the top, just change it up a bit.
Whoever is facing Reagan grace.......good luck.

Anyone else think saints look jaded.
Maybe using more or less the same 17 for 15 rounds is catching up with them.
