We never beat Saints when we're supposed to beat Saints (except in Grand Finals). Last year we lost a home game against injury-hit, out-of-form Saints with Stuart Howarth getting MOTM. I wouldn't get overconfident.

You know the free away game voucher you get with season tickets do you have to go into the club shop to sort it out or can you do it over the phone?

It hasn't happened all that often and not at all recently but they've started as a pairing together five times previously (four on the left flank (2009) and once on the right (2010))

The games were V Wakefield, Warrington, Wigan, Salford and Harlequins - Leeds won the lot.

Would go with that team but maybe just maybe swap Hall to LC and Briscoe on his wing or interchange throughout the game itself.

Agree the team listed above is not an awful team, but it's best case - four of the players listed (including BOTH proposed halves) were out injured last weekend and may not be back for Friday.

Amor one game ban after using the EGP.

I fancy your lot by 2 scores for this one. I don't think it'll be a large score by any stretch but I think you'll just have a bit too much for us and exploit that with your back 5. We won't have Wilkin or Walsh so we'll lack direction but our defence will remain strong. Somewhere around 20 - 10 is probably about right.

We'll be missing: Jordan Turner, Lance Hohaia(?), Luke Walsh, LMS, Jon Wilkin(?), Willie Manu(?), Kyle Amor, Alex Walmsley(?), Mark Percival(?), Gary Wheeler(?).

Those with a (?) have a slight chance of coming back, Wilkin due to whether he gets banned, the rest due to injury. Wilkin is the big one for me as Walsh is out he's the only other player who can give us any direction. Walmsley is also very important with Amor and LMS out.

Wonder if Bailey's omission recently is in any way related to incidents that others have alluded to the club "turning a blind eye" to.

Some humble pie to be eaten?

Saints 17

Hohaia
Galbraith Jones Percival Dawson

Hewitt Charnock

Laffranchi Wellens Masoe
Flanaghan Greenwood
Walker

Hand Richards Thompson Savelio

I take it those eating humble pie are those that doubted anything was amiss?

The comments about "turning a blind eye" were to incidents throughout last year, not the ones over the last three weeks. And yes, it has actually took three separate new incidents for the club to take action.

If Paul Wellens plays doesn't he equal the record for most SL Appearances (Regular Round plus Play-Off) ?

1 - Keith Senior 413 (92 - Sheffield, 321 - Leeds)
2 - Paul Wellens 412 (St Helens)
3 - Kevin Sinfield 411 (Leeds)

What were the incidents - I miss all the gossip

Bailey needs to be careful before his testimonial goes down the plughole

Gotcha has the club actually taken action then?
I know about Mc.D saying he wasn't selected but was that discipline related and has he actually been sacked or stood down i've noticed RB has been very quiet on twiiter lately only to re-tweet his clothing range.

Not noticed any plugs for testimonial gigs either.
