Referee Marcus Griffiths

A good young ref, much better the Kendell.

Last I saw we were only getting 12 start . With our last few performances I really think we need a few more than that.

Agreed.... especially considering Saints have won 5 on the spin since losing the CC Semi to Leigh.

Only one guy we don't want so that's fine by me.

Trinity -12 also with Bet365.
Cas are -14 against Warrington.

Saints are 1/5 for the win. Same odds as Salford were last week.

It's hard to see anything other than a regulation win for Saints, by 18-24 points.
There has been little evidence in our last two games that there is enough fight or ability to cause an upset.

The number of dumb plays last week suggests that the pressure is too much for some of the players.

On the plus side, we do look capable of getting into the opponents 20, it's just a bit of execution at the right moments.

And please, if we ware forced to drop out, unless it's in the last 10 minutes of the game, lets not try short one.
We got what we deserved last week and that moment was where the game went away from us.

Time for the players to go out and play as though they want to win more than Saints because that’s the only way we will beat them.
They have talent in every position but a good team effort can overcome that.
Unfortunately our last two games show how inconsistent we are at producing that sort of form.
I cannot look beyond a comfortable win for Saints.

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.
