How does it continue when it's gone?

Is that when you beat Saints at the HJ this season !

By this logic, I assume that when we beat Saints at Wilderspool in 2001, you considered that a 'hoodoo' and anticipated a collapse of the mighty Saints team and a Wire grand final victory?

Edit - to get on topic, I'm glad we have Saints. Obviously you can't write them off, same as anyone else in the top 5, but of those five teams Saints is the team I am happiest playing at the moment. I'd order the best to worst teams to choose from as:

1. Wakefield, 2. Hull FC, 3. Huddersfield, 4. Saints, 5. Catalans, 6. Wigan, 7. Leeds

Wigan and Leeds are close at the top two I would least like to play, but Leeds edge it for me - they were much closer to us at Wembley than Wigan were a few weeks ago.

Can't be bothered reading through or indeed searching at all, but somebody on our board mentioned Westwood will be missing for you. Is that right, what's he done?

I think it was a knee injury - hoping for him back for the later rounds but he might miss out completely.

and his knee, sadly.

Considering we have been so careful with rotation we could be without three first choice players on Saturday.

Smith OUT

You can never prevent injuries but hopefully the players that walk onto the pitch are fresh and ready to go with no players needing injections to play.

I blame the iPitch.

Well, this is also why we've been doing it, so now xe can slot replacements in, and be assured that they won't look out of place doing their duty. Tyke can cover for Benny, grix for Harrison.

The only worry is bridge back in for ratch. Now I thought he looked a bit better running on Sunday, but that's only a one off. Saints is another matter.

Well nobody has for a while. Where is Mathers when you need him?

Looking at both teams line ups and form over this season I would expect Wire to win by at least 16.........but as has been shown over the last few years, form goes out of the window in these pressure games. Class should tell in the end and that's why I would still expect a Wire win this week, albeit closer than many think. Saints have nowt to lose and so I'm hoping we play as we have done twice previously this season, once against you guys and the other against Leeds....repeat those performances and you never know!
