I think you are right. It will all be about field position IMO, as you say we need to keep them off our line and outside our 20 when ever possible. I think if we give them good field position by either poor kicking, errors or penalties then they will score tries in our half. I suspect one of two people are going to come back and say, 'well of course, that is the point of the game' but what I mean is I would like to see us kick early if it keeps them in their half and look to get good deep kicks away on the fourth or fifth and not chance our arm with an attacking kick or power play on the 5th. Equally, we need to push the ball out wide earlier in the tackle count and try and use our superior pace in the backs.

Really !! No BJB, Smith or McGuire......probably Ablett at centre and Sinfield at stand off

Still to be convinced. From what I have seen of Saints this season just havn't displayed a major attacking threat within your own half. Warrington can, Wigan can, Leeds showed against Hull/Bradford and Salford that they can - There is only one way to find out and that is this Saturday.

Oh. Who said anything about attacking threats within our own half? You were talking about pace! If you'd just said about attacking threats then obviously, we're sheeite. We only do long range tries now. So long, I'm still waiting for them!


It bloody isn't, you know. We need Wakefield every week.

I also said Saints dont appear to have the ability to strike anywhere on the pitch like Leeds can.

I think it is what you need, after losing to Quins, a win against Leeds will boost your confidence.

Your hope is that Leeds play suicide rugby in their own 30 and cough the ball up. From deep I will watch comfortably knowing Saints can't score
But when Saints are camped on our line after some belle*d has offloaded in his own 30, it won't be happy viewing.
