KR are beating them easily, top spot is in our own hands now. If Saints lose by 32 we will go top today.

Ganson's doing his best to keep his hometown club top. He's ruled out three tries already.

Just hope our boys respond to the oppotunity they are been given. Saints are losing badly and the points difference is turning on its head, unbelieveable stuff really. Saints have another tough game next week against Hudds and we have virtually the opposite in Celtic. It there for us.

Huddersfield will have one eye on the cup final so not really.

Not necessarily, I don't think Nathan Brown is the type of coach to let that happen.

Well he should be. A couiple of injuries next week and they're screwed.

Agree, the best coaches will be more concerned about producing a good performance and go into the final with some momentum.

You mean like tony smiths Warrington on Friday?

I'd be surprised if both the Giants and Wolves don't lose next week, but at the very worst we can go top on points difference by thrashing Celtic

HULL KR in again...

As things stand (currently 22-4 to HKR) Saints' points difference will be only 13 better than ours. I would imagine that, even if Saints beat Huddersfield (will be interesting to see how Hudds do against the Bulls tonight, willl be a big indication of where their thoughts are) our winning margin over Celtic will be hopefully at least 14 more than Saints' winning margin, so worst case scenario we should hopefully be top on points difference by the end of next weekend. Best case scenario, Saints lose next week as well and we're then in a position where, hypothetically, we could afford to lose to them in 2 weeks and still be top, as long as we don't get hammered. Then with only Salford left (and I can't see them shocking us again) top spot would well and truly be in our hands.

Especially if Giants win this evening then next weeks match could become real important as they could realistically be looking for 2nd

HULL KR have a "TRY" disallowed knock on...

If he is then he isn't doing his job properly. Injuries tend to happen a lot more often if you go into a game without 100% commitment.

Agree. Saints look very tired and this game at the min wont help them. They could easily lose next week against Hudds, if they do its ours to lose.

Rovers in again 22-4...

A case of after the lord mayors show perhaps? It'll be interesting to see how Huddersfield get on tonight, although the extra days rest and poorer opposition may help.

Saints +285 =red+279
Leeds +270

By my reckoning as things stands

Edit: That messed things up.

Sky sports centre has it 26-4...

Wigan turned up and were the better team on the day. Warrington had more of an incentive to win as they are now outside the playoff spots.

I fully understand what your saying, but the main thing imo is that Giants go into the game with some real momentum. They have it at the moment, but if they rest players and have an eye on the final they may fall a bit flat.

teletext concurs.

Sounds like Saint Steve was M.O.M for them................again

Who?

Yep, if it finishes 26-4 the difference between us is only 9 - with an out of sorts Saints at home, and games against the bottom 2 clubs in the league, we won't get many better opportunities to finish top!

Saint Steve, you know SAINT STEVE
