Not feeling confident that we can beat Saints, who IMO are the best team in the comp by a country mile, no matter what the league table says, or 5 minutes of madness in the Magic game. It's one thing that we have a few more key bodies back, but even so, we've not had the luxury of them playing together into form as Saints have for most of the year. Never say never though, and I think it suits Leeds best to go into these kinds of games as underdogs - looking forward to it and seeing how Leeds approach the game.

Would have preferred Catalans, who have a weak underbelly IMO, even though it is probably good that we are avoiding the long trip.

Beauty of this game is that we'll find out where we really are. For various reasons over the last couple of years we haven't fielded a remotely first strength team against Saints. This time (fingers crossed re suspensions) we'll be there or thereabouts. Let's face it, if both teams play to 100% of their potential Saints will win with a bit to spare, but how many times does that happen in sport? If Saints are a bit underdone and we peak, we could win. Wouldn't that be amazing! Would love to see Gale back and something like fit because he would make a difference.

If we have Oledzki and Newman available then I think we have a chance. If Oledzki gets banned, I don't think we will win.

We need to rattle Walmsley like we did in the CC fixture. Get Oledzki, Prior, Tetevano and Holroyd smashing into him. He was off his game because we got stuck in.

Really looking forward to the game - a slightly strange situation to see lots of Saints fans worried to have Lomax back fit given how well Welsby/Dodd have been playing together in the halves.

Feel confident we have too much but just look at the Wire - Hull KR game, you just never know and a Leeds win would be nothing like as big an upset as the Rovers result.

Hope it's a good one and there's certainly no pressure on us. Win or lose this one we've done well this season all things considered.

Yeah Saints should win this one and nobody would argue if they took out the title this year.

I think the team will be confident of beating Leeds again but mindful that it’ll be a different game this time to last - depending on who we have available.

It’s as much a mental barrier as anything for this young Leeds side after getting their backsides kicked last time; however they’re a gritty bunch and players like Prior and Tet have won NRL Grand Finals. Should be really interesting.

Over a thousand tickets sold already to Leeds fans, seating area was sold out this morning should be a cracking atmosphere I just hope we put up a fight like in the CC rather than the last game.

The start is important Saints like to blow teams away early doors and we need to be ready for that.

I don’t think we’ll win but as long as we give s good account of ourselves ill be happy

Not sure about a mental barrier. I reckon the belief's there 100%.

Whether it's misplaced is another matter icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: Clearwing "Not sure about a mental barrier. I reckon the belief's there 100%.

Whether it's misplaced is another matter I liked what Leeming said in his interview today: in order to take the SL title we should have to beat Wigan away, Saints away and then Cats or KR in the GF.

We really will need to tighten up our execution and discipline in that opening quarter to give ourselves a chance. Part of that is being able to select specialists in their preferred positions more, and part is just individual concentration and attention to detail.

Would be very sweet indeed to knock Saints out and I just see it as a positive opportunity to do that. As everyone else has said, as long as we give it a good crack.
