No one gives FC a chance today. Being the eternal optimist that I am, I like those odds. The Cup has been special, the last 2 seasons, pulling of some excellent results. I think Lee Radford can do it again, obviously up against it with injuries but Saints haven’t been tested with the type of defence FC are capable of, on they’re day, plus we can score tries. Pressure them and frustration will set in because so much is expected of them this season. Just my opinion, obviously.

Not sure Tuimavae will be playing as just seen him driving past and would have thought the team would already be on their way or at least be together ready to set off.

On his way to get the coach? Even if he wasn't playing you would expect him to be there with the squad.

Thats what I thought at first but then saw the time.

I don't think they like to get there all that early though do they? Even setting off now you would be there no worse than an hour and a half before kick-off.

On Ladbrokes Saints 1/6, we're 5/1. Seems about right.

Carlos, Connor, Kelly, Taylor all playing, but no Westerman.

Shaul, Faraimo, Logan, Tuimavave, Miloudi, Kelly, Connor, Green, Houghton, Taylor, Minichiello, Manu, Hadley

Subs: Washbrook, Fash, Matongo, Paea

Not a bad lineup, shame about Westerman missing out.

Logan in for the worst afternoon of his career I reckon.

Percival makes even the best centres look poor at times. Well, mainly because he is one of the best himself! But not only does Logan have Percival in front of him he has to worry about Taia just inside too. Massive ask for the kid.

Unfortuneatly i think you are right.
can see him pulled off and replaced by Hadley or Washbrook during the game.
Nice 70 m interception try would give him some confidence

I guess from the last 3 posts it's not worth watching the game this afternoon?

ffs lets see how logan goes first

Yeah still watch. Logan might let in 4 trys but Miloudi is gonna score 7 so we're all good.

Too many breaks and half breaks already, Hadley gone over on his ankle and straight down tunnel.

It's looking a little ominous already.
They do everything so quickly.
