That pass from Rourke was not the right option even if Russell doesn't drop it

Batchelor starts for Saints but Bell is 18th man.

That's a really disappointing crowd for a cup quarter-final between two local rivals. There's empty seats all round the ground. Not a good look.

Well, barring a major upset think that's rovers v someone at Wembley in June. 
Have seen nothing from Catalans so far this year to see them upsetting the dark-side!!
Think only Warrington, if they were to play to their potential, can cause an upset.

Saints look like an aging squad, Welsby aside they don't offer much threat, think we dodged a bullet with Sailor.

Saints are such a poor team ball in hand. Don't really offer anything. As a half back pairing Sailor and Lomax are shocking. When you're full back and hooker are doing most of the kicking then you know you have problems in the halves.

On paper cats have a decent team.   Just not performing.....Fingers crossed they turn up and cause an upset

Be ironic if the Rovers v Catalans semi is at the MKM. At least there'd be no crying about ticket allocation.

If we had signed him would it have not been to play full back?

There would be if the council ruled they can only have North stand as per normal!!  

I imagine that would have been the plan but I thought he'd rip it up over here, might be one of those players that takes a year or so to get going. I'm more than happy with Rapana at full back for the moment despite his mare yesterday.
