That team on paper looks okay, very strong in the forwards, not so in the backs. On paper it doesn't strike alarm bells of a 50-0 loss, but I fear the under-performance may result in this.

The thing is, we might of course under-perform, we have done a couple of games and also in parts of other games, but then we might not.

If we take the same attitude as in the Leeds game along with us, we'll do OK.

Yep, I think most of us went into that game thinking "I just hope we put in a respectable performance and don't get tonked"

Then look what happened!

Without Nero the "G force" will run riot I fear



Thank Jupiter it is not on Sky Eddie and Phil would be spurting sauce all over the place

But it is!

That has been my thought process all week

It is on Sky.

Oh dear.

Oh dear. For the sake of my personal well being I shall have to watch with the sound off. And possibly my eyes shut

As Nero and Deacon are not back yet leaving the left centre slot a tricky one can't we put Worrincy or Olbison in there. I'm not blaming Platt for our defeat against Warrington but he did look poor in defence. Worrincy has plenty of pace and must be a better tackler and hasn't Olbison played at Centre before he's also got pace? Platt hasn't played at centre since he was a teenager at Salford and last Friday you could see why.

Think that may have been why he used the shock face ?

I'd put Beaver there tbh.

Won't he be covering the right centre/standoff role with Sykes?

You mean hope Saints have an off-game and dont take us seriously



Leeds lost the game at Odsal. We didnt win it on our own merit.

I'd have thought

RC - Sykes
LC - Beaver
SO - Rinaldi

Of course the frenchman.

Platt. Halley. Nero. Sykes. Tadulala. Solomona. Jeffries. Burgess. Newton. Lynch. Cook. Langley. Menzies. Subs. Kopczak. Scruton. Rinaldi. Worrincy

Can we play all 19?

To beat Saints I think we might need to

[urlhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/8012416.stm[/url

St Helens (provisional): Wellens, Gardner, Gidley, Meli, [iPryce[/i, Long, Cunningham, Graham, Gilmour, Wilkin, Flannery, Roby, Hargreaves, Puletua, Clough, Eastmond, Dean, Wheeler, Fa'asavalu.

Bradford (provisional): Cook, Langley, Sheriffe, Burgess, Sykes, Scruton, Menzies, Newton, Whitehead, Rinaldi, Halley, Olbison, Lynch, Kopczak, Jeffries, Tadulala, Worrincy, Platt, Solomona.

Saints look strong, need to wait for the confirmed team news on Thursday evening/friday before we can make any more comment on the saints possible starting 13.

No real surprises from us, suspect Whitehead and Olbison t drop out as mentioned earlier and interesting to see how Rinaldi goes, glad we're not risking the fitness of Deacs or Nero.

Pryce? Mmmm.
Forgot about that.

forgot about what???




that thing we cant talk about???

yeah I've forgot about it too.... for tonight.

Don't know if this thing of which we can not speak is linked in anyway to a player signed by Hull after being releases by Warrington but Reardon is again a free agent.
