Same squad as last week then.
No McShane so presumably McGuire is fit to play.
Hope he does something this week as we can`t carry too many in such a crucial game.
Clearly one of the untouchables!

Well sooner or later mac's record of knockout playoff games will come to an end, we can't just go on winning year after year.

I just can't see how this game will go. On the one hand with saints recent form i think 'uh oh here comes a taste of our own medicine' season gone with a whimper, but then on the other hand I think, look at the teams record they thrive on these situations we won't let this title go without an almighty fight. So it's a very difficult game to predict.

For me, i'll get an inkling in the first 10 minutes whether we are up to it or not. I expect completed sets, decent 4th/5th tackle kicks and muscle up front both in defence and attack. If saints are gaining quick play the balls, and we come up with poor options with ball in hand.....it's going to be a struggle.

Neither Bentham nor Silverdud encourage quick PTBs so you should probably be safe enough!

Personally, after the season we have had with the countless dismal performances I have watched my team put in, I am astounded we have made it this far. I can't see us winning on Friday but as long as Saints put in their best possible performance then I'll take something from an otherwise disappointing and sometimes depressing season.

If we win not only will it be a bonus but I will be stunned.

I'm not suprised. I had you down as dark horses 6 weeks ago. In terms of 'this far', it's one home win against a mid table team. So it doesn't take much of a stretch to imagine a team of saints ability being bale to accomplish that. It's the reason quite a few leeds fans had you down as dark horses. We could see you would finished somewhere 5th-8th. Anywhere outside the top 4 you get ''whipping boy rabble'' in week 1. Play half decent, you are suddenly in week 2.

If saints knock leeds out, theoretically theres no reason they can't go all the way.

Except that 'whipping boy rabble' had beaten us three times in the regular rounds and knocked us out of the Challenge Cup at the first time of asking, something that hadn't happened to us in about 90 years or something! (Slight exaggeration there, obviously, but it was many moons ago anyway) We had good reason to believe HKR would come out fighting, but they didn't really. Just a bit of effort straight after halftime, which was a surprise to all of us I think and also a bit disappointing in terms of preparation for this week, especially given our current team's tendency to drop the ball and such like when least needed.

I can't see us winning this one to be honest, hopefully it will be a decent game though as we have improved massively these last few weeks

It will be interesting to see if Warrington pick Leeds though!

1 win each 42 all on the scoreboard, both away wins. Rhinos due a home win against them. Can't call it.

Looking forward to the game tonight,should be a cracker.The game as a whole needs a classic after last nights farce and last weekends generaly drab affairs.

Ridiculously excited about tonight's game. Hopefully we'll restore some credibility to an awful series so far, all set for a classic!

can't see them picking hudds after last night

Good luck tonight, let's have an all Yorkshire GF.

Don't be fooled by how bad Hull were - they have beaten Hudds twice this season. I wouldn't be surprised if they sent us to Wigan (they'd pick Saints however)

and i'm at a function i can't get out of. peed off isn't the word!

thought I wouldn't be able to get there tonight, now I can,.... is it likely to be a sell out
