From a Saints perspective you’d be disappointed not to be overwhelming favourites against a team lower in the league, at home, coming off a terrible result and performance vs HKR, without their main strike player (Newman).’but we all see it differently so fair play, we’ll probably hammer them!

Their last three games - Wire, Catalans and Leigh - have all been high quality and high intensity. Don't know whether that might have some impact on them for Friday, or whether they'll just trot out and do it again. Suspect injuries and suspension will be key. We know Passi will be out, but if Walmsley and Scarsbrook are also struggling and Matauti cops a suspension it takes a lot away from them. A lot of ifs there though. The main thing is that we turn up play hard and do the basics well. As we know that is far from a given.

No if i was a Saints fan I don't think i would be thinking they'd be overwhelming favourites, they've got injuries and suspensions and like i said they're not that far ahead in the table.

Newman's barely played for two years and we're not far off been full strength and have already beaten Saint, Wigan, Cats and Wire this year.

Matautia banned for 2 games.
So him and Paasi both missing and checks on Walmsley, Knowles and Welsby and possibly Makinson.
Roby and Percival returning for Saints.
Don`t underestimate their young forwards who might have to step in.
Should be a close game with us edging it by 8 imo.
I can hope.

Don't forget Bachelor and Sirronen were also out on Saturday, no guarantee they'll be back either.

His role in mata'utia's ban has been mentioned on Redvee. You'll need extra popcorn if you dip into their disciplinary thread though

As a Saints fan our last two perfomances have been as bad as anything under Cunningham Leeds are favourites for me

You need medication.

I agree about Wellens - would be a shame if he went the same way as Cunningham - they had won 9 on the trot prior to the semi?

It will be tough game - Saints will not want to let their fans down - we will have to improve significantly from the Hull KR game. They are a top side with very good youngsters coming through too.

They really haven’t. I remember a game you got murdered at Cas under Cunningham.

Makinson kicks his goals you are at Wembley and hoping for a quadruple.

Still the team to beat this season.

Paasi, LMS and Walmsley out, Knowles is 50/50

Big blow for Saints if they are missing all four.

Must make us favorites, we always struggle with their pack. Suppose it depends which Leeds turns up.

If you were to add Batchelor and Sironen then they are in trouble.
LMS is no big miss but Walmsley and Paasi for sure.
They do have some good young lads able to step up and I would think we are slight favourites and I`m sticking to my 8 points clear at the end.

Realy? Never looked scoring on Sat

Am on about our attack our only idea is to give the ball to Hurrel
