Might take you up on that one Dave. Broken my leg you see so can't drive!

Where from? and what time?

big game this one..will go along way to deciding where we finish in the table, lose and 3rd has gone and likely 4th too. looking at it though 5th may not be so bad with a home draw and not always ideal having a week rest!

eastmond likely to be back for saints?? pryce great player but lacks kicking game as you could see v wigan on sat.

whats the news on players coming back for us? faalogo and o'donnell being back would be a boost

we could do with KB back, LOD back for def i'm told, the warrington board is bringing up the Fa'alogo to them next year thread again..... if they offered big money i would let him go.. far too injury prone for me and it will only get worse if NB moves him to prop....

Dont worry he wont be going anywhere.

Praying we don't get Thaler or Bentham on Friday.

thats good we will have o'donnell and faalogo back then, we need as many big forwards as possible as for me puletua and graham are the best forwards in super league.

maybe too soon for kev brown



i see saints players playing through the pain with injections, i wonder if nathan brown could of done the same with our players instead of resting them with slight knocks... we could of had a few more points in the bag now

You were saying Paul??

Maybe - but personally I didn't think James Graham or James Roby were anywhere near as affective as they can be, that is the down side of playing through the pain barrier.

I prefer NB's approach of resting players when they need it, example - when he rested LOD & KB before the Warrington game earlier in the season - they both looked better for a week off, were both very affective and we came away with an important win.

playing with injections to cover an injury = shorten your career

your body is telling you something is wrong.

Think it is a big game for our forwards. Game will be decided upfront. And our guys hopefully have something to prove. LOD back would be a real Bully-Bonus.

Cup football so Saints thought it worth the risk. It's a thin line deciding who plays with what injuries as the consequences can be dire. Sometmes the players need protecting from themselves - these are hardened professionals with a pain threshold too good for their own good if you see what I mean.
