3/10 on Bet365

I'm on Betfred.

Quite a difference, I would think Betfreds is probably more accurate.

Looking forward to it as usual.
.....More in hope than expectation.....

Taking Saints to beat the handicap of 12 looks better value but, that means backing against Trinity.
We cant be doing that, it's just grubby.

Still worth mentioning we are still 4 wins from our last 5 home games and we usually give Saints a decent
game at home.
2022 Trinity 12 - St Helens 13 (GP)
2021 Trinity 14 - St Helens 30 (2 late St Helens tries winning the game)
2020 Trinity 16 - St Helens 20
2019 Trinity 18 - St Helens 24 (Last minute try for St Helens to win the game)
2018 Trinity 24 - St Helens 20
2018 Trinity 16 - St Helens 36

So not a great record against St Helens in recent years at BV but we don't usually give them an easy game.

All about attitude playing Saints. If you give them too much respect they’ll walk all over you.
We have to get in their faces from the outset and play with determination.
The players need encouragement and some pushing on the pitch and if I were the coach I’d pick out least two players to do that. Oh for a Derek Turner!

We need to control the ball a lot better than we did last week. If we make the same errors as we did against Salford Saints will score 60.
Let’s hope they can settle down and show some composure and play to their potential, then we have a chance.

I think it's more to do with the opposition.
If they stand off us we can play good composed rugby. The teams that rush us cause errors.
We need to be better at that as teams will now see that.

As previously stated saints are without 2 of their biggest forwards which if ours man up should hopefully give us the edge in the forwards , yes our back line is not up to scratch but a Wigan esq performance against them could be interesting. No one gave us hope against Wigan and yes it was a nail biter but it was a win against far far more illustrious opposition in every department. We have a knack of pulling these games out of the bag , let’s hope the rugby gods are shining down on us this Sunday

So by big changes Mash meant enforced changes. Dagger at FB. Gale and Lino blundering in the halves, Hood plodding around at 9. Proctor contributing his usual 15 minutes, Trinity in no danger of troubling the score board. How terribly uninspiring.

And we are missing Whitbread, Jowitt, Lyne.
It will be 40+ to Saints and not many for us

I really hope that we can make something of a game of it as time is not on our side but, this could get very messy.

A try would be nice

Especially a 1st half one...
