Whose going to be doing the inplay kicking for saints?

Never been Lomax strong point nor Welsby, I think Sailors more a runner than a kicker.

We are blessed to have Harry Smith

Really missed you and your excellent analysis of Wigan RL little fella,may it continue

How do you think this season will pan out what with Saints being the greatest team of all time, will they win the lot again, oh wait I will re-phrase that ,will they win anything this season.

I am really interested on your well educated take on the game

I think saints still have a decent side and will be in the mix for a trophy. I think the majority of the poor form is down to Wellens. He seems to have learned ball all under two decent coaches. His gormless look in post match interviews speaks for itself. I think if he performs badly in the first 10 games he’ll be gone

I can see Briers being in charge before the half way point

I don't think there's that much evidence that Briers will be the messiah as an assistant, much less in a head coach role.

Massive test for Saints in their first game v Salford.
Following the takeover at the Reds they can field their full squad.

Going off some of the pre-season reports over on RV quite a few of Saints first team especially in the forwards have zero or precious few minutes under their belts.
Only time will tell if that's a mistake I suppose.

Not denying that I expected us to win by a lot more yesterday and 10 points in the second half against amateurs is p**s poor.

However Salford’s result today can also be looked at as a bad one. They weren’t at full strength but had a strong side out and won by less of a margin than we did.

Hopefully there is a big attendance for your game next week as its possibly the most intriguing game of the round. Salford fans will likely travel in numbers given their good news.

It’s not been ratified yet, Saints could be playing half a Salford team.

I should’ve clarified that Salford weren’t playing amateurs today but they still won by less of a margin than I would’ve expected.

Salford are +14.5 with the bookies which I find staggering and have to say I’ve already bet on. Part of me wonders if the bookies know that maybe the takeover won’t be completely confirmed by next week meaning they won’t be able to play a full team? I’ll keep a close eye on the news before Thursday and cash out if that’s the case.

I’d say Wigans game is the game of the round. Big things expected of Leigh and I’m intrigued to see how Armstrong goes. I think he’s a dark horse for the MOS

Let’s hope for our sake that Leigh give you a game this time.
