Both Saints games will depend on the weather to a certain extent - warm dry conditions will suit them - damp cold conditions will suit us - can't see us winning both games - rather lose at KR to win the CC game

I still disagree with this everytime I hear it churned out.

Me too.

Probably the truest thing you've ever posted.

I echo El Diablo's endorsement of a rare gem of a post from you shag.

Just look at the performances since he has been there - against stains, wigan just dont show up - against us, they are there and play far better against us.

Yes, I genuinely do believe it.

Wigan - L

Saints - L

Catalans - L

Saints - L

Bradford - L

I think we should actually take each game on it's merits.
We have no idea on the injury situation,penalty count or loss of form just to highlight a few points.
For me the wigan game is the most important because that's next,we can't speculate on the importance of other fixture's because there are too many if's and but's.
Although we are to hit top gear and have plenty of quality to return if anyone had said 4 from 4 with the players missing we'd of all taken it.

You realy think that Noble ask's his players to up their game against Leeds? and doesn't try to get 100% comitment out of them in every game they play?

I think his preparation must be better when they face us. Just look at the recent games between Stains and Wigan and can you honestly tell me that the same prep has gone into them? Last year at Cardiff, had we been able to get the car out of the car park we would have left after fifteen minutes.

It is my humble opinion and if you think long and hard I am sure you will agree with me that Noble would sooner beat us than anyone else in the competition. Personally, I like to see us beat our dearest neighbours, dont you?

Noble still has a nasty streak of "I hate Leeds" in his blood. Not only at club level but also when he was GB coach, some of his overlooking Leeds players who were in form and outstanding raised more than an eyebrow with most people. ie Horne over Burrow when Long deserted the ship!

Leeds' next 5 games dude not the bulls, i would say Bradford couldnt beat themselves but on saturday that nice little 5 mins they certainly helped

Get an accumulator on that Mick, you might get some decent odds.

I'm tempted to ask if you know the difference between Luke Dorn and Chad Randall but I've decided not to this time.

Decent Odds maybe but I doubt it'll come good......

I do know, Luke dorn plays for the Harlequins, he made a stupid pass in the last few mins allowing an interception try. Which ment wigan won the game.

The week after this Wigan played a poor Bradford side.

You haven't got it have you the clue is in the question

Ah crap. I really must stop using my appaling memory. In futire im just going to refer to all players by, player 1, player 2 etc! I was confusing Chad Randell with Mark Ridell. Their Sur names sound kinda similar. Or am I just digging a bigger hole?

That's the one

Australia's this way --------->>

Anyone got an industrial JCB I can borrow?

Certainly no challenger to Leslie Welsh are you.

Funny!!!

we lost 4/5 from a similar set of fixtures last season

As long as we have the trophies in the bag at the end of the season I don't care!
