that saints dont have 5 days rest before they play us instead of a week cause there gonna have some battered bodies

Tough game last night with some big hits, will have taken a lot out of them, but they have 2 days extra than us.

Celtic will be no push overs and will be a hard place to get a result.

I would much prefer teams to play the same day every week and have the same rest period, but it works both way throughout the season.

Rest between games is important but its easier to recover if you keep winning and if we can win tonight and don't suffer anything serious we'll recover in time for Saints.

Cracking games in patches last night.

We'll be missing a few probably. Roby will likely be out, potentially Long. Gilly could also recieve a weeks rest from the RFL.

Admittedly, we can;t be missing as many as your goodselves. Rotten luck you appear to be having with getting crocked atm.

I once discussed it with JD (name dropping) and he said they just structure the week's preparation differently.

Carried that injury, rib/shoulder most of the game, top lad did you proud.

Gilly, i don't know he may get done for throwing them but he missed anyway


It will be a cracker on friday

I have a feeling Cunningham could well be missing for this. The tackle after the Bailey incident had real intent to injure the player.

i dont think it matters that much with saints. theyre no strangers to a tough game, theyre a very professional club and they have enough strength in depth to compete with anyone in the league.....the 17 that turn out for saints next week will be able to do a job for them - its for that reason that we should be concentrating on playing saints as a team - not saints on a man to man basis.
