RAIN..............and we all know we win in the rain at OT

It'll never ever rain as badly as it did in 2008 at a Grand Final ever again...fact!

More was made of this at the time in 2008 than should have been. Anyway, this Saints side is very different.

Didn't Leeds lose their last match in the rain to the Bulls?

It was p-ing down at Harlequins too.

I think our current style is best suited to dry conditions

Just had a look now, yesterday it was tipping heavy rain and today its tipping light rain. Besides we all know what the english weather is like, it could be baking on saturday at this rate

it's manc land of course it will rain

Don't think it really advantages or disadvantages either team.

Walked back to the city centre in that

Same.



It did on Sunday!

Too right - I lived their for 4 years and it rains a hell of a lot. In fact took Mrs Omar back there (to see Take That

) earlier this year and it rained as much in 2 days as it does in about a year down here in the south west - never been so wet in my life.

I'd rather it was dry so both sides can play their best rugby. I don't think either side would be particularly advantaged by wet or dry weather - but it'd be funny to see the Saints fans reaction if we won again in a downpour

it always rains in Manchester........in fact it is raining now

We sat through the entire match in that as we were seven rows from the front and got absolutely drenched.

This year we are six rows from the front and I would quite willingly take another soaking for the same result.

I pity anyone that has to tackle that poser Foster if it's raining Saturday, they'll be covered in false tan. What a tart.

Um.... I was there in '98 and it p*ssed it down.

Oh, and we lost

We have had some very poor performances in the rain this year, Bulls at home and Crusaders away. I'd prefer some dry weather and hopefully we'll see some skills on show.

This time of year I get this tingling feeling, it always means FGB's tears in the rain. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Try doing it after your team has lost again!



Wouldn't be too fussed about rain - I think we have a stronger pack this season.

I was in Manchester with work yesterday and it didn't rain. It must therefore now be over it's dry day quota for the month, so rain is inevitable on Saturday.

Or something.

So far the forecast has changed daily,

aslong as Im undercover (and we win) lets get on it

Rain has always been forecast. It alternates between light rain and heavy rain. Currently it is suggesting there will be heavy rain. All day.

The latest local forecast for Manchester is some fairly hefty showers. Goretex time.

Manchester weather for tomorrow pm is 4pm Heavy rain. 7pm light rain. Dry at the moment over here but rain is forecast for overnight.

Think our team is more of a dry weather team this year but we shall see.

Hull KR at home anyone?
