I know we are all excited about Cas at home in the cup but next up is a potential banana skin. I know Saints are a small town club and play in the lower half of the comp but they must be smarting after being thrashed and if so they could provide us with some opposition. I can only hope Wilkin is fit to play and captain them as I see that as an advantage to us.

Thought he was gonna start blubbering in the post match interview yesterday.

Tough game following their drubbing and the first game with their new coach in charge. Hopefully we will not do too badly with injuries from Friday and be strong enough on the day

Injuries might do for us in this one.

They've got a decent squad on paper just lack direction and let Wilkin too near the, er, pitch. Could be a tough game if they show up.

They were so far off the pace yesterday, I would be amazed if they provided a contest for us next weekend

They surely won't be as bad as they were at Cas.

Will be hurting so it could depend on how much time the new coach gets to spend with them and how much he can lift spirits.

Expect a tough game.

no disciplinary issues for us this week but i see the rfl website has antony minichiello making a comeback for us. must have had a quiet game last week though he had a 'no charge' case listed against him

anyody expecting an easy win will get a nasty shock

no way will saints play as bad as the last two weeks (best mention the warringto capitulation otherwise cas fans will be on here saying it was how good they were, which they were)

a new coach in the stands, players will want to impress

When your signing players like Adam Walker and Tommy Lee the writing was on the wall at the start of the season

Walmsley apart their pack is poor and thats why theyre so poor imo

Injuries could well do for us in this one. I just think their performance last week on top of a new coach arriving will see a significantly better performance from them. They're nowhere near as bad as they looked at cas

Yes they are.

No they're not or they'd be bottom of SL without any points

We need to be getting two points from this then be getting something from the following two, Leigh at home and Catalans away.
We've got a tough looking regular season run-in after that come June and July with Cup exertions to boot.
Two points on Saturday means that we could maybe ride a loss away at Saints, Salford, Leeds or Cas, still to come.
