like you have for the last three years?

hahahahahahhahahahahahah

Leeds and Saints have actually had pretty similar opening games so comparsons are quite valid.

Warrington - Leeds were away and Saints at home. Leeds were never behind, and played with a patched up team after a very high intensity game at the weekend. saints had to overcome a significant defecit to win with a mostly full strength squad

Hull KR - Leeds were away, Saints at home. What I would call a professional performance from leeds. Didn't play well, but were the better team, and ground out a win. Saints led more than once, but couldn't close the game out

Crusaders -Saints away, leeds home. Leeds finished the game off inside 20 mins, then eased off the gas for the next 60. Saints struggled to make an impact, and would have been a lot less comfortable in the later stages than we were.

There's never a problem when you win.

Even when the dominant side lost. It happens sometimes but I wouldn't expect it to happen that often when you're defending a line 80 yards long.



And in the other game Leeds had Wakefield at home while St Helens had Huddersfield away. Two hard games against teams coming off excellent away wins who will be around the eight if they can maintain their early season promise.

If the game was this weekend Leeds by 12.

Is this based on anything, or you just having fun specualting?

Completely unsubstantiated speculation.

Although I did see him at HQ yesterday walking to his car and in my expert medical opinion there didn't look to be much wrong with him, apart from the Ford Focus he was driving.

Reminds me of a Barrie McDermott comment last season at Dewsbury.

'He's taken a bad knock to the shoulder.... that's why he's limping.'
