Does it matter who gets left out???

I really think we missed the chance to see BJB or Briscoe at centre last Friday. If our coach wants to keep Ablett in the pack then it was obvious (IMO) to look at the option of one of those two in that position. You don't want to move Hardaker to centre (although I have a horrible feeling we will see that happen this week) and we have two centres who are at some point going to pick up knocks or need a rest. Ward was just a dumb idea (sorry Brian, but it was).

Stains fans already making excuses for the match. Reading some of their posts you would think they are down at the botom of the league rather than top. What a positive bunch they are!

they have a point though.dont think there would be such an air of positvity going into this game around these parts if we had the likes of Sinfield,Watkins,JP,Kylie,Burrow and a couple more front line players missing,which is equivalant to Saints losses this week.

I will take the win if it comes now, as it should.But as I stated elsewhere,would much prefer both teams to be full strength.

In your opinion, on both counts.

If Moon isn't fully fit then he should miss out with either Bjb or Briscoe at LC imo.
If Moon plays then again imo Bjb misses out.

at a similar last year we played Saints away. I remember Moon and Hall combining nicely for a lovely score.

A year down the line has their combination progressed?

Dual reg with Hunslet will shock a few this week, thats all I can say at the min.

Bailey?

Really cannot say. I know, I hate it when people do this also but...

Bigger shock than Bailey put it that way. That is all.

Sinfield?

I would have said Delaney, considering his behaviour with Bailey, and perhaps eventually been taken to task on it, in view of Baileys disciplinary. But considering he is in the squad for Saints, I don't think thats the case.

I'm hearing 'behaviour' alot without any useful examples of context.

Surely our trepidation is valid, though.
Aside from Saints, Leeds have made the strongest start.
All of a sudden we're missing our scrum half (most influential player and major signing), our back up scrum half, our three first choice prop forwards, a starting second row and at least one of our centres.

We're all hopeful, but are treating any victory as a massive bonus.

Clarkson.

That wouldn't be much of a shock. He was dual-regged with them last season and he's no better now.

It's me. I've let myself and more importantly I've let the club down.

Bailey is ill again.

Allegedly.

Just like when he was 'ill' for the two trips to Florida in 08 & 09?

You don't need a visa to get into St. Helens do you? Maybe to get out, but not to get in.

Delaney as well as Bailey now?Two big blokes god knows what they are alleged to have done.

Welcome to this week's edition of EPIC-MEGA-VAGUE-SPECULATION-O-RAMA!

In terms of the shock you're all well wide of the mark

I know a secret. I can't tell you what it is. But I just know one.

Just thought I'd mention it.

For no reason other than to make it clear that I know.

You know.

It's tongue in cheek isn't it?

It is Kirke you are on about.
