told this morn by a academy coach.

If true, it's a travasty for Saints. We'll face an up hill struggle to win with no Pryce.

I thought things where to good to be true. I hope this is just mind games all being well.

Nothing on the website about it. I'm gonna be hoping and praying until the 17 is announced.

He better be playing, i bought my final tickets and booked hotel

The Catalan fans will but them off you.

I would love to sell them to the french



I ain't bought them, it's only wigan that do that

Season over if this is true. Might as well withdraw.

Fook it, lets throw wheeler and eastmond in at halfbacks.

If Pryce is out, we might as well throw Eastmond in. Without Pryce we don't have much hope so we have nothing to lose.

I wouldn't say that just yet. It would make it difficult for you but you're still capable of beating us. Look what Wilkin did last time he played at 6 in the CC against us.

I'd rather we thought about the future and just put the cue on the rack for this season. We won't win a thing so there really is no point risking Kyle's long term future.

Yeah I suppose. Wilkin and Moore at 6 and 7 ?

Everytime wilkin is talked about they always refer to that leeds game or his great lines he runs!

I just hope he has a good game a 13 one day so they can change the subject.

That game at leeds when wilkin was at 6 was a freak game, everything he did come off, he's never played that well before or after that game, in fact he was shocking the following week.

If we are putting all our hopes on wilkin playing well at 6, then we are fooked.

heard we're going to risk eastmond this afternoon

If the doc says eastmonds ankle is 100% good enough to play, then he has to play.

He's down to play next week so he must be pretty close to playing.

Bollox,game over and we all know It.

If leon is out, we need massive games from wello, gidley, roby, KC and flannery.

The game ain't 100% a loss, even without leon and kyle. Leon is the big loss as he is our attack and also gets through a ton of work in defence.

I would put roby and moore as halfbacks, wilkin as 13. I would give roby a free roll like he was at warrington, he was everywhere.

Wello
Foster
Gidley
Meli
Gardner
Moore
Roby
Graham
KC
Bryn
Flannery
Magennis
Wilkin

Tony p
Clough
Foz
Ahshurst

I would leave roby on for the full 80, give him a free roll, he and moore can cover kc when he goes off for his rests.

That team IMO is good enough to win, we will struggle with the ball as leon and kyle are both out(if true about leon), even the bench is pretty strong.

It's one game away from the final, im pretty sure we can raise our game.

You're not fooling me

Massive blow if Pryce is out.
Leeds though are out of form. Sinfield is their heartbeat and he's in poor form.
Saints are in form and that's a lot of players, Graham, Roby, Puletua, Wellens and a few more too. Your younger players are now standing up and being counted. Still a blow if Pryce is missing.
Far from all is lost though.
Before this I went for Saints 30 Leeds 8, now Saints 24 Leeds 14.
Do I think Pryce is 12 points difference? Yes!
Is he the difference between a win and a loss? No!

Defo not playing, Wilkin will be at 6.

Had a scan on a back/neck injury last night.

FFS I don't believe this.
What is it with injuries this season,the sooner it finishes the better.

Damn if this is true, really up against it, we lost the league game due to having no halves. Is Eastmond in a state for it to be possible to risk him? Am not optimistic about today at all now...

confirmed on Twitter by Claire Balding

clarebalding1 Leon Pryce out with injured neck for St Helens. brings the match much closer. Not raining yet but it's coming which'll suit Leeds. V tight

Saints team: Wellens, Foster, Gidley, Meli, Gardner, Wilkin, Moore, Graham, Roby, Hargreaves, Flannery, Ashurst, Magennis
