So the new season is almost upon us, first game against Huddersfield.

Anyone fancy trying to predict the

score
MOM
attendance

etc


I think we will be very strong in defense. I can't see us nilling them like we did in the friendly, but I think we can keep them below 10 points.

26 - 6 to Saints

Manu for MOM.

I think everyone will think it will be a walk over and complain mostly about the cold, wind, rain, cladding and then we'll struggle against a well drilled team but just about come through by 6or 12 points late on.

Could go two ways. Either we'll start like a house on fire, like Nathan Brown teams have a habit of doing, or we'll struggle. His gameplan, particularly in attack, has to be significantly different to the rubbish we've witnessed over recent seasons if we're to be in the hunt for trophies. That will take time and I'd expect a few bumpy roads before we hit the sun soaked race track.

Game one in a new season so hard to give real educated guess yet, but I think it should be a comfortable Saints win.

reminds me of the same time last year when wigan were predicting a big win against us.
we turned them over with half our team missing.
don't think we will do it again but it would be great

Best time to predict when no one has a clue.

i agree, didnt think we would win first up at wigan last year with the team we had out but we did!!

hoping for a nice surprise again saturday

1st Saints Try Scorer: Perry (don't think he'd want another Naked Run after last time!)

i seem to remember most of us were saying if we kept them to below 30 points it was seen as a good result

score: 26 - 12 (Saints)
MOM: Lomax

It might just be my foolish optimism, but I think we could easily put 40+ on them

With our squads, you would hope for a 20+ win

Sorry, but you missed an 0 off the end

is the 0.6244098731213477297623 a very short person then?

Surely the 0.6 is NS himself, who, because he believes the weekly rounds are irrelevant, will be paying attention with only 0.6... of his person?

If the friendly is anything to go by, then we should get a comfortable win. Their attack was very ineffectual and was not penetrative enough (that's what she said...) and we broke them down with relative ease. Friendlies are not indicative, usually, of a team's performance, though, and we should be wary in putting too much emphasis on what happened two weeks ago. Hudds have caught a few teams out in the past - as dragged up by the Hudds fans on here, i.e. Wigan.

Having said that though, we should win this game: it's at home, Nathan Brown's first competitive game and the players want to impress. Everything is pointing to a comfortable win. If it was at Hudds then I wouldn't be as confident, but I'd be surprised if we do not win comfortably:

Score: Saints 42-10
MoM: Lomax
Attendance: 13,500

we will have 5 players come in that didnt play in the pre season friendly between us a few weeks back.
