st helens up next after kick starting our season!

on the tv again

murphy will be out, think rest will be ok... maybe move taai back to second row..shame we have to shuffle the team again

going to be a tough ask against top of the league but we will give it a good go and set us up for the two games after against hull kr and london

murphy may play

Thought he’d done ligament?
What about wardle he was having concussion test.

Smurph as tough as old boots.
Will take more than that to keep him off the park.

murphy says hes ok having a scan, prob wont risk him

joe wardle fine

To be hoped the lads don`t fall in love with themselves after that good win at Wigan. Concentrate lads for the full 80 or more if golden point, defend like we did last Friday and we`ll be ok. And let`s hope some of the 22,000 that went to watch wendyball last Saturday turn up to cheer the lads on.

no obrien

ok leeming had a cracker, but he was due one, usually has one a season

obrien was player of the year for us in 2018

Well the weather currently is awful but set to settle by this evening. I doubt that champagne rugby will be the order of the day. Hope our forwards are ready for another tough evening.
Leeming to do 80 minutes alongside Roby- haha no pressure!
For me leeming is the better hooker we have in terms of all round ability, o brien is a very good player and much in the vein of smurph is mr totally dependable. He’s solid, makes few errors, gives few penalties, and a good passer- but hes unlikely to ‘command’ a game the way leeming showed he can on Friday. Leeming has that ability to make things happen when he’s on song. Let’s hope this is going to be his season!

Think there will be a few rooting for us tonight- if we beat saints that leaves Leeds and Wigan bottom of the table. Leeds have London, but Wigan have an away trip to wire...

yes lets hope leeming can produce it more than once a season

some good competition between him and obrien, though there was no competition between them last season

I'd prefer a home win, but don't hold out much hope.

Leeming gets vilified on here regularly but how many hooker's command games behind a weak pack? Last week we dominated Wigan and the backline were all on top but that's a rarity for us. Hopefully we can compete tonight or see if last week's performance was a one off.

Grandad

jake wardle out......... didnt see that coming

Good first half until last 5 minutes and then awful for the rest but all seem to collapse when joe went off
