| I'm a bit disappointed that we aren't playing Salford as it would have given us the opportunity of restoring some local pride (I'm not sure a victory in the run of 6 games could be considered full 'bragging rights').
I have had a quick visit on their 'Royston Vasey' website and some of the posts are RedVee-esque in their myopia. Complaining about their fixture schedule, but then complaining that it should have been switched, complaining that we could potentially get 4 points in one evening despite the fact that we haven't called the game and are willing to play someone else to fulfill a TV schedule commitment. For others it's apparently an RFL/SL conspiracy to get the Play Offs sorted with their favourites, Saints, Wigan, Leeds and us.
Whilst I do sympathise with Salford's plight to some degree, or did, but without sounding bitter, there's a bit of a niggle that they have to some extent in the last couple of years particularly 'got away with it'.
Yes Watson is a decent coach that continues to get the best out of his squad, but sooner or later the thinness of that squad will bite you and it would appear that that time is now.
I get the player welfare argument but surely that is what a squad is all about, the ability to rotate and rest players? Wakefield are a prime example of a low budget operation (no disrespect) yet I think that they run Academy and Reserve sides. If the kids have to step up now and again, any defeat (ironically like ours at Salford recently) can be put down as a positive 'close game/good experience/decent prospect game time'.
I'm not clear why some think that they are victims and in addition that somehow it's our fault that we benefit, it's not our decision and I'm not convinced that rest is necessarily a good thing.

| Quote: morrisseyisawire "The Saints V Wigan game is a high speed, error free match so I'm not sure the fixture situation is affecting everyone to the same degree. Maybe some teams are managing their resources, utiilising rest days more effectively and using squad depth better than others.
We picked up more injuries today and looked more jaded after a two week break, and our form disappeared when we rested the first team pre-semi final.'"
Watched the final 20 minutes, don't know about error free, Saints didn't complete a set in that period.

Won't make the slightest difference come the GF On the 27th November Because neither The Wolves or the Devils will be Nowhere near Hull Which is always the best place to be in relation to Hull.

With such far reaching predictions, would you like to tell me tomorrow night's lottery numbers. Mrs G got 3 numbers on Wednesday night, so I'd value your Nostradamuslike
thoughts, so I can pass them on to her.
IT COULD BE US
