no disrespect to salford or wakey, but if the team can't get themselves up for saints we don't stand a chance, i think saints are hurting still from grahams' departure

Likewise.

Give it to Sharp and Briscoe to run at Wellens.....easy try.

All on for Friday me thinks. But I see no reason why we can't compete really well and who knows. As has been said, if you don't get yourself up for Saints then just don't bother. I think the lads will want this one.

I think we'll struggle at Saints unless something significant happens to our attack this week. We need to be very disciplined and respect every bit of possession we get and hope we can wear them down.

Give away loads of daft penalties and dropped balls and we'll get bummed.

Agree with RGX, we'll get mullered if we don't get out of our bad habits quickly

If Roby plays we'll get beat if he doesn't we'll win imo he's that important to them.

Lomax is getting battered on the Saints forum.

Big loss for Saint's as Roby has started superbly for them .I guess they'll just just move Hohaia to 9 and Lomax and Gaskell in the halves. That said , We have to start to be more productive with the ball and start putting some points on teams , A must to even give us a remote chance against teams like this.

the loss of roby is huge, if you watch how saints play he is the heartbeat of their attack and i reckon we should have a decent chance

Cannot see past a big saint helens win.

I have no doubt the players will be up for the game, but I think the way Saints have lost lately, they are going to want to bite back, and also the way our attack is and how poor our discipline is of late.

I think we're going to struggle tbh. Even if you take out roby they're still better than us in most positions. I know the conditions were against open rugby today but we seemed to playing in slow motion at times. play like that against saints and they'll eat us up. Be a massive boost if we come close though

Despite the huge blow of losing Roby Saints still have points in them and as well as we are defending I can't see anything other than a comfortable Saints win. Unless we can improve dramatically on the last two weeks.

Really looking forward to this and I quite fancy our chances too. Alot of people expecting a Saints backlash but in 5 games so far they have been avarage at best. Fans questioning the players and turning on the coach. Without Roby (their best player by a mile) I think they are there for the taking.

Average???

How very dare you!

SHYTE is the word you are looking for!

Going over with Digger and Robs, looking forward to it, time to step up big time.
