I really think we can and will win this, with Manu, Luakai, Cusack and Berrigan back in contention. St's depsite they're humbling of Rovers (more to do with how poorly Rovers defended IMO than how well St's played) look beatable especailly with their current injury woes, apparently Gardner is now out for several weeks.

I fancy us to win this one, having a few players back will certainly help as will a week off.

Hopefully Barrow will give Saints a tough game at the weekend.

I'm moderately optimistic. Or at least not as pessimistic as I usually am.

Saints are not at the top of their form right now and made plenty of uncharacteristic errors in their last two games. We certainly have a decent chance if we turn up and play as well as we can do.

Win

whats with all these positives on here thought this was a doom and gloom board.

So who's back?
Berro? Manu? Cusack? Luauki? Calderwood?

I like saints games there is usually a decent atmosphere and a bit of anticipation in the air.

all will be fit for selection but cant see berro playing.

With McShane gone we need someone to spell Houghton. Washy? That would mean moving someone else to 6 alongside Long. With Calders back we could put Whiting there, or more likely I guess would be Whiting centre and Turner in the halves?

Jeez Wolfie, we've still got 6 or 7 sessions yet. You'll curse us!


Seriously though, would only bring back Manu, Lauaki and Calderwood(who's he) anyway. Would leave out Turner, Hall and Burnett.
Harsh on Burnett as he had a very good game at Cas but Manu and Lauaki are important players.

Keep Turner away from the Halves please....would sooner put Hall on wing and move Whiting to 6 if Calderwood doesnt play........Offers us about the same as what Washy does at 6.....would love to see Whiting have a go at 6.
