for me this year michaels defence has dropped off, id would rather have griffin fonua and with more game time sort out some of the problems they have been having occasionally,

Oh deep joy.....

That said in the three games this season so far we've had three yellow cards and one red. Hopefully he isn't too whistle happy on Friday.

Liam had better be on best behaviour then...

Fash and Michaels to miss out for me.

Excellent to have a squad of that strength in week 2 of the Super 8s. Only Mini injured?

Pivotal game. Radders rightly going for it. Win this and we are in a strong position to finish in the Top 4 and would give us options to rotate the squad through the rest the Super 8's. Saints will be a tough game though.

Saints fan in peace.

One of the games of the 8s for me this, a real 4 pointer for both teams. If we (saints) win we go joint with you guys but if you guys win and Cas and Leeds beat Salford and Wakefield I think you pretty much secure 3rd spot.

Tough to call as you guys are in a good run at mo just as we are but we have not lost at home in over 5 months and beaten you the last 2 times out so I am going for a 20-14 to the Saints.

dry night fancy our chances

wet night saints win

We actually weren't in a good run at all. We had been really poor for a few weeks and turned it on against Leeds, and last week we just did what we needed to do. We seem to have a knack of really turning it on when it matters though, and there's no doubt this is a pivotal game. Couple that with your current form and we should have a great game on.

I think we'll sneak this one.

I can assure you it always rains in St Helens

Picked up some tickets from club shop at lunchtime, looking forward to what should be a cracking game.
