Maybe they can but i highly doubt it.

I'd expect an awful turnout to be honeest. Gonna try my best to get over.

My heart say we can win it . . . . .my head say we won't be able to sit down for a week after this one. . . . . .

That is how I feel aswell

Generally or in prospect of the result n Friday

bit of both really

Someone needs to wind up Tez so he decides to go on a rumpus and bash all the Saints players like he did when we were Champs in 05





Otherwise we're looking down the barrel of a big loss. I may have predicted the Leeds win but don't see a victory against this Sintellins outfit

Waht are you implying Bullpower. Saints have developed an illegal tackle focusing on the buttocks

The Aussies will probably call it the Builders Crack Tackle or some such

has anyone seen Hopoate wandering around the Knowlsley area?

Jon Hopoate developed the technique, Saints are merely bringing into the mainstream.

Is that waht they did to Westerman?

Think this is how they'll line-up.

Bradford


Halley
Sheriffe
Sykes
Beaver
Tadulala
Rinaldi
Jeffries
Lynch
Newton
Kopzcak
Langley
Worrincy
Burgess

Scruton
Solomona
Cook
Platt




Saints
Wellens
Gardner
Gidley
Dean
Meli
Pryce
Long
Graham
Cunningham
Puletua
Gilmour
Wilkin
Clough

Fa'asavalu
Roby
Ashurst
Hargreaves.




On paper i'd say 28-18 to Saints. In actual fact i'd say 48-10 to Saints.

Surely there's got to be someone that we can put on in place of Sheriffe?

Why? Because he made one stupid error and didn't have a great game like the rest of the team?

Has anyone heard any news on Deacon's injury?

[i"The former Great Britain star, 29, hoped to be ready to return and lend his experience to the cause at St Helens on Friday.

But having seen his specialist yesterday, Deacon admits it could now be next week before he is back in action.

“I’ve not run on it yet (his injured knee) and it is touch and go for Saints,” he said, ahead of another daunting fixture at the table-toppers. "[/i

Says he's only doubtful but I dont reckon he'll be back this week, maybe week after.

Cheers for the info, pretty sure we'll struggle on Friday with or without him, would rather he takes his time and gets himself right. Lets just hope he finds some form when he's back playing.

Does one of your favourite referees getting the gig change that prediction?

Fully agree with you there, zero point playing him on Friday, we need all our big guns back on deck for the big four pointer against Celtic

we know he's been targeted this year so no point bringing him back if he's not fully fit. No point trying to find form and fitness against Saint's.

Even if he was ready, who could blame him for delaying it for a week!!

I know you're just kidding but if that was his attitude (and I don't believe it is) he shouldn't bother coming back at all.

Indeed, hence the

Id Like to give Platt a shot back at Full back and drop Sheriffe to the bench

Platt
Tadulala
Sykes
Menzies
Halley
Jeffries
Rinaldi
Lynch
Newton
Burgess
Cook
Solomona
Langley

Scruton
Kopzcak
Worrincy
Sheriffe

Sheriffe's been playing ok despite a few minor errors.

In Fairness so had platt untill he balls up in France which was pretty much similar to the one sherrife did, im not in the platt fan club, just think Sheriffe could do with dropping to the bench this time rather than platt
