Don't agree. If we choose to use our 3/4 line rather than bulldoze down the middle all game we will score against them. I think the packs are evenly matched. Too close to call and should be a cracker. |

Saints fans appear giddy having rediscovered their enthusiasm this season for obvious reasons, therefore a 3K-ish turnout from them at Headingley on Saturday might provoke the possibility of a five-figure attendance. We shall have to wait and see. |

Singleton needs to watch is shoulder charge, flied in with 2 in last 2 games, whilst I applaud heavy hitting, don't want him copping a ban. Better on the pitch than on the sidelines.

Amor, Percival and Swift all named in the Saints squad - feel a little better having seen that, but apparently Amor/Swift still 50/50 according to Brown.

I'd say Bailey and BJB to miss out. Harsh on BJB but can't have an outside back on the bench

2 Cracking hits that need to be made legal imo I agree with our Coach they were "face on" and hit other forwards don't see the problem.
The late ones or those that a directly side on and high deserve sending offs and bans but what Singo did imo was put 2 classy big hits in but the powers that be now deem them illegal. |

I agree with the theory but as you acknowledge them are deemed illegal so you've got to box clever. I don't want to see bans when very avoidable. |

The definition of the shoulder charge seems to have gone from "leading with the point of the shoulder" towards the Union definition of "not using the arms to hit and wrap" as the season has gone on.
The former can be dangerous (for ball carrier and tackler alike) the latter much less so. The balance needs redressing IMO.

Late contact with the shoulder should be illegal - thought it already was before banning shoulder charges.
Contact with the shoulder to the head of the ball carrier should be illegal - thought it already was after Bailey's hit on Fa'asavalu got Graham all riled up.
However with the ball tucked under your arm, dip your shoulder into the defender and hey presto that's fair game.

Leeds got to be the big favorites for this game. On fire, top of the league. Whats gone wrong? You normally strike from 5th?

SLIGHT favourites at best....any claims by Saints fans that we are big favourites won't be taken seriously by anyone, whether Leeds affiliated or not. Merely seen through as an attempt to modestly play down your chances......you win = fantastic unexpected victory, you lose = told you so. |

I'm really looking forward to watching the game (one of the threats to us retaining the Challenge Cup will go out)
I think the team that kicks the ball better will go on to take the spoils. In previous years Sinfield has "done a job" on Saints. Their back three were dreadfully slow in returning the ball and Leeds trapped them pretty easily, plus Saints didn't have a good kicking game. However, it's quite a bit different this year with Lomax, Makinson and Swift working hard to bring the ball back, plus Walsh has a much better kicking game than Saints have had for quite a while.
The weather could be a big factor and at the moment it appears to be dry for the game but the pitch will be greasy.

Enjoy, I'll be having a few glasses of wine whilst watching and celebrating my mothers 92nd birthday with the family at our house.
See you next Friday. |

I was gutted when Saints let Francis Meli go, he helped Leeds win many a game.
He probably still has nightmares about Lee Smith. |
