Quite confident

I cannot see this being a game we will lose. We have been very strong finishers and Bradford have been very weak in the second half this year. Even if the game is tight with 20 mins to go I can see a lot of Saints trys in the final 20 mins.

A safe 2 points if ever there was.

Its quite amusing how confident the saints fans are for tonights game !!

Bradford will bring a big following tonight and will make it a hat-trick of defeats for the stains at Widnes !!!

COYB !!!!!

I don't think anyone's certain about which saints will turn up tonight, but we're all still bouyed by last weeks good performance after what has been a pretty dour time with poor results/performances and off field problems.

They are largely deluded fantasists and they are confident of winning every game irrespective of form or our lineup.

I am here to provide a much needed steadying influence.

My belief that we are going to win is down more to Bradford being really bad rather than Saints being any good. A loss to Bradford would be a much worse result than our loss to Quins. Who to their credit are a very well organised team and work hard.

Mick Potters inside info on our players could be an advantage to the Bulls but his inability to spot the obvious as Saints coach means I am not worried too much.

If we cannot beat the Bulls tonight it is going to be a very long season.

Will that be 1 taxi or 2?

I still say we'll Muller them.

Whether it's rice or yogurt is debatable.

I'd prefer the rice one with the toffee in it. Those are nice.

You will hammer us tonight. We never seem to perform against saints and have left walker and briggs out according to rumours which imo is a big mistake. So that means sykes is playing......Think youll have fun

We are 2nd in the league oh yeah we are 2nd in the league.

Come on you know the tune. lol

wird how Rogues hasnt been on here trolling like normal .. wonder if thats because his team got shalaked by dire last night ...

and the old one doesnt troll in lent

Big following, hat trick of defeats! Brilliant, this is why I love beating Northern.

The bulls fans are complaining about certain decisons and the validity of some of our tries, but I felt we we're comfortably the better side.
We're still giving away yards up the middle a little cheaply, but the line seems a lot more solid and we've been through quite a bit of time on our goal line without being breached.
Lomax and Gaskell seem to compliment each other well and I think Perry's getting into his stride and looking like a real assett.

Do we miss Leon's defence do you think?


They do and he is, although it is going to take a bit of time for him.

I don't think its that. I just don't think we're particulary quick in getting back the 10 to reset, then moving up. Better that than missing tackles, but there's room for improvement.

My only real negative was Soliola. I'm pretty sure it was him who missed the tackle on Langely for the break leading to the opening try and he let them through from the scrum base later on because he was too focused on rushing/smashing his opposite number. He was also looking a yard behind everyone else in resetting at 10m. Maybe he's a bit rusty as he's not had an awful lot of rugby since he got here, but he needs to ensure he's inposition and making the tackles before he's starts thinking about the pain train.

To be fair st's were the better side, but there was some very strange dicisions by referee and linesmen!! the lines men gave a kick that went 2 yard wide!

It was, and it looked to me he missed it fro precisely the reason you note about the other miss. He looked to put a big hit on and missed.

I 100% defo think we miss leon in defence. He puts in alot of work in defence that alot of fans don't notice.

Without a shadow of a doubt we miss leon in all aspects of the game.
