That told him.
I don't see why we can't beat Leeds. Considering how disastrous our team is according some people, it really is a massive surprise we are guaranteed to finish in the top 2 of the league. We just starting to get some players back now. We've beat Leeds twice this season already, so we have a team capable of beating them, obviously as we have done it twice already. A lot depends on who we have back in 2 weeks time though.

Previous results are irrelevant. Leeds look a completely different side since. Every single one of our forwards look immense. Burrow, McGuire and Webb are running the show and look as good as ive ever seen. Whereas i think its fair to say your forwards and backs are looking the total opposite.
Dont get me wrong i think its going to be a good game, but Leeds will eventually have too much power in the forwards and the backs will take it from there. But that certainly aint the end of it. Saints will come back in the playoffs. As already mentioned i doubt your going to suddently hit your form again without having a couple of games. You will improve against Leeds and continue that against Catalans then i believe you will hit your straps for the playoffs.

| In the first match against leeds this year, Cayless went off with his injury and Puletua didn't play, so we were'nt over run with big forwards then either.

We're not playing well, your right, but we have our first proper rest in 3 years, hopefully that will do us the world of good. Like i said, we're starting to get players coming back into the side and with this weekend off, that gives us even longer to work on things and put things right.

The rest is indeed very welcome and needed. I have said many time that to play back to back to back RL at the intensity our boys have had to do is some achievment, even though we come up short in 2 GF's, not many teams will reach every cup final year after year after year... we look like we need a month rest though, not just a week.
Looking forward to the Leeds game, will watch it closely to see what were upto see if we try anything new.

I think you're missing the point.
When we beat Leeds earlier this season, we were on form, Leeds were not. Leeds are now hot to trot and we just trot. We're dire at present and Leeds are entirely the opposite. Unless a miracle occurs during this fortnight off, we have nothing but a resounding loss to look forward to a week on Friday.

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Eventually, we are going to hit some form again, and who's to say its not going to be after the week off?

The doom and gloomers on here are having no effect on me! We are capable of winning this, obviously we aren't favourites, but that's when we play our best rugby!

Thank you
Saints will be good for the weeks rest but i still think a bit of game time after that will be needed until Saints get back to business.
But yet again after you lose to Leeds it wont be long until you have HKR/Hudds to deal with, and we all know about your record with those 2 this season. Jeez Potter is going to be busy this week!

That's a bad analogy. Leeds were looking pretty good up to that play-off game, nothing like as bad as the recent form of Saints.
That said we all know that what matters most is how you play in the final (if you make it). Things look doom and gloom for Saints now but you've got what remains an excellent squad that knows how to win things, so who knows. Leeds really don't cope well with the favourites tag either.

I'l go with that. Leeds must be favourites, but its never a given against any side, let alone between leeds and saints!

| Will be good to go in as underdogs
Nobody fancies us versus Leeds or say Shudds or the Robins in the play-offs.
However, we have had a bad patch, we can only get better and players coming back will help that.
I think we will put in a solid effort v Leeds but lose out and comfortably beat Les Cats - if we can have a near fit pack for the play-offs I would back us to make the GF and then see if we can do a bit better as underdogs than favourites
Lots of ifs but let's stay positive!

Get away!
We've also got the following excellent attacking moves,
the "Last tackle, take the tackle trick" - very popular recently, it always catches people by surprise, I often hear them say that they can't believe we've done it again
and not forgetting,
the "Quick hands to stationary right winger ploy" - also with a variation where we pass it [ibehind [/ithe winger to outfox the opposition even more
and last but not least
the "Ginger up the middle bash up" - to be fair we do rely on this one maybe a little too much
