As I said earlier, Sts are doing what’s best for Sts!
They’re not interested in what’s best for Wakefield, Leeds or Hull KR. As long as they’re not breaking the rules they’re free to do what they want with selection.
How do we know they haven’t targeted the London games to offer their squad and juniors some game time right from the beginning of the season?

Obviously I get where you are coming from, but first of all, the game hasn't even been played yet!! Yes if London win, any reasonable person is gonna think Saints leaving players out has contributed to them losing, but relegation of a team doesn't come down to 1 game does it? They have a squad, they are entitled to pick from that squad who they wish to make the final 17. I do get it's probably not very ethical, but they haven't broken any rules so the other clubs are just going to have to deal with it if London win. It may not be the last time Saints don't pick a 'full strength' team, someone else may benefit when it comes to cup final time......

Chester said in an interview after Wigan game that if he was in Saints position he would probably do the same.

I dont disagree with what you are saying and as stated previously, they (Saints) are so far ahead of the pack that they can do whatever they wish with regards to selection and having "blown" both major trophies last season, they were always likely to try a whole new approach if they were in a similar position this time around and good luck to them, as they are deserved leaders of the comp etc.
However, resting/ rotating 4/5 players (which backfired last time) is one thing but, 9 ??? for me is just not taking this particular game seriously enough.
Of course they are in a position where they dont have to but, is this good for the sport ? or any sport in that matter ?

Back in the day, pre squad numbers etc, clubs were supposed to field their strongest available squad or risk bringing the game into disrepute.
Of course, before a big final, there used to be a raft of faux sick notes, with coaches pretending that there was an injury crisis.

As I said, they aren't breaking any rules but, this leaves a bad taste and their actions will very likely be one of the determining factors on who drops from the league, which makes it worthy of comment.

Would this Saints team beat us?

With Wakefield’s current form/confidence etc Holbrook might want to rest a few players when we meet soon.

And London go 6 up

At least Leeds are 12 down
Every cloud and all that

Not just 9 though is it. More like 12/13. Personally think it brings the game into disrepute. Affects the SL survival of another 4 club's and it doesn't sit well with me

Only ourselves to blame. Fair play to London, showing what a team with fight can do.

Leeds are giving Hull a hell of a game, and London are walking it. Anyone still in denial about us being relegation fodder should get the wake up call this weekend.

Next round of fixtures
Hudds v Leeds
London v Salford
HKR v Castleford
It's going to the game at HKR if we don't win I suspect we'll already be down by London at home . Bad times.

I'm sorry but they are basically playing a mixture of reserves and academy. It is giving our relegation rivals an unfair advantage. If they had beaten anything like a full strength saints team then I would say fair play. It stinks
