If we get on top of them early on, dominate the ball and territory then it will limit the opportunity for them sorts of players to cause havoc and give us a chance.

The chances of that happening: very slim I'd say.

Leeds are a team in form who like to promote the ball, it's a massive test for us.

Got to be part of the game plan

the real worry is not the defance but when we have ball in hand, poor kick chase, not a great deal of go forward and the worst is the set plays in the 20 which i think blackbrook under 9s could defend against

with that said i think we will have to up our game but we do have to many good players to throw the towel in and the accept the defeat now

Probably been asked on here elsewhere, but do you guys have Roby and Soliola back?

Right near the bottom it says LMS & Roby have a good chance of returning on Sunday. saintsrlfc.com/news/page/1812 Not sure about Sia though.

Good

Good to hear about Sia. Glad Roby's set to return.

IMO it's the worst possible time for us to be playing you this weekend, the change of coach will now turn your season around without a doubt, I believe that your side lost complete faith in RS and your displays clearly showed a Saints side that was nothing more than a de-motivated, going through the motions side.

If KC can't rejuvenate you boys then no one can and i fully expect a completely different Saints side this weekend.

On a side note, i would think that now is the best time to take your odds of winning either trophy as your odds will very shortly deminish

I can't wait to attend this weekends game at your new stadium, all the best guys and may the best team win

Looking at the Leeds game, if we keep the defense tight, then who knows. It's the lack of attacking options and structure that has been the major worry, leaving the just a defence to win a game is not enough to get the job done.

It'll be an interesting game tactically: do we revert to an open and entertaining style of play or do we keep it tight?

My worry is that if we play to our strengths and play an expansive game (if possible) then we are in danger of creating a game that's too open and that would play straight into the hands of Leeds who will want and thrive off such a game.

We need to play to our opposition's weaknesses by playing a tight game; a tight game might not be what some want, but I think it gives us the best chance of winning.
