You've got virtually a full team out so no excuses whatsoever.

If you dont want to move Roby play one of your reserve half backs. It really is that simple. It's what we are doing.
To have 2 or 3 players missing at this time of season is a good place to be so on paper and after your 18 point margin of victory only a few weeks ago, you guys should be hyper confident against a team where most of your fans think we are shoite and maybe only one or two of our lads could get into your side.

A side chasing a consecutive fourth GF title and successive CC finals with the best side in the competition and for me the best defence that I've seen in 50 years of watching the game against a team whose pack can be dominated and bullied with a one trick pony should be a done deal.

I suspect a few Saints fans are getting their excuses in early because they think (I don't include you FTV in this clan) that they are unbeatable unless they have chronic injuries, play a weakened team or the referee is bent.

I didn't think that we would win on Good Friday but I think as a team we got more out of the defeat than you did with the win.
I hope we win and I actually think that we are capable of winning this time around.
Several of our players had a poor game on GF and I'm sure that this will be addressed tomorrow.
I truly hope that a fit Lomax plays and that Jake Bibby scores the winning try. Bibby scoring the winning try would make the victory that much sweeter.

I just have a feeling that we will surprise you with something different in our play over and above an improved defence. Hurrell and Welsby are both inclined to make mistakes on a regular basis and I'm hoping that both of these guys will be subjected to specified pressure throughout the 80 minutes. Cust could be the guy to pull out a few surprises.

I like a bet and my money has gone on us despite playing an almost fully fit opposition.

Oh there's more than hope mate. Wigan and Catalans will both have a say. I'll stick my neck out now though and say it'll be a Saints v Wigan GF. I said on Saturday night that that defeat to you at the weekend will fuel us. Sometimes you need a defeat and a big one at that to get the fires burning again and motivate you and I'm hoping that's the case with us.

It’s difficult for him in fairness. I see him as a guy who can play 60-80 minutes and put a mark on a game. He’s getting bits and pieces and it’s tough then to really influence things. I thought you guys might have started him more and benched Roby, just to help him settle in quickly. I don’t see why Roby would retire with how he’s playing and you wonder what Lussick thinks about that.

It will for sure. Had you lost last Saturday with a fully fit Lomax and Dodd in the team, I’d be confident to put every penny I have (£31.24) on Saints retaining the superleague trophy but that halfback trouble has cracked it open. The form of Walmsley also brings Saints back to the pack a little. He is looking human recently and whilst he’s still the best, he’s not mangling teams like last season.

Sorry mate, you misunderstood me. I meant a miracle to go to the end of the season without injuries. I'm certainly not writing you off but I don't think I'm over egging it to say you're on the cusp of derailment. A worsening of Lomax's injury away in my opinion and that's not at all far fetched. I'd even say more likely than the alternative.

Yeah, but he has played #1 tho. Not unreasonable to call him going to FB and Welsby to FB is it.

You've just been unlucky to have three injuries. Like us having Tommy, Cust and Field injured. One isn't a HB, but will have been factored in for cover.
