Really looking forward to this one. Too close to call. For me it's going to be down to containing their forwards. If Benny can play a stormer, plus Hill and Simms with Harrison hopefully returning and the rest of pack muscling up, then were in with a good chance.

Saints look the side to beat and KFC will have his side motivated for this as they haven't succeeded in beating Wire so far at their new home.

I'm struggling to recall their defeats at the HJ in contrast.

-Hence Langtree Park stats icon_smile.gif

Looks like we going into the game without lonax, Percival, walsh, roby, Flanaghan and possibly makinson depending on how he goes with his concussion.

We shouid still have a decent team out and a team good enough to win if all play to ability.

Any players out or returning for Wolves ?

Deffo out we have Simon Grix, Richie Myler, Rhys Evans & Anthony England. The following didn't play last Friday so don't know if they will be fit or not Ben Harrison, Joel Monaghan and Toby King.
Whats up with James? he's rarely injured.

Getting the old excuses in early there....

Not at all, it's not like we need to make excuses.

You sound very confident

I think the club will say this week regarding robes. If it's what I'm told, he will be out a while.

He's not been out drinking with Hardaker has he?

Can't wait! Just a shame it's on a Thursday as not as many will go. I'm off work all week so makes no difference to me fortunately.

It will be a shame if Roby is out for a while. It is a pleasure to watch him play. He never deserves to be on a losing side. He took a knock to his left shoulder in the Wakefield game and played on. What is his injury.

Same injury

I don't think we can be accused of getting excuses in early, any team would struggle if you take all it's creative players away.

We'll have Lomax, Percival, Walsh and Roby missing that we know of. Makinson is also a possibility. That is pretty much the creative element of the team gone and whilst it would be enough to beat most sides in Super League regardless, it will probably see us struggle to beat the top sides (Warrington, Leeds, Wigan, Catalans, Cas away). It's not beyond us to win the game, we're certainly more used to playing without our best players than most teams as we had an entire season to practice last time and our pack will be at full strength bar Roby. I could see a tight game and us scraping a win, like the Grand Final. But if I were a betting man I'd say the most likely outcome would be a 12-18 point win for Warrington.

Looking forward to this one, always a good trip to Langtree Park!

There's now a 3 point gap between the top 3 and the rest of the table after today's results, a win on Thursday would put us joint top but more importantly keep that gap.

Hoping we can keep the Saints away hoodoo going, NTW.

I'd love to see sky run that clip of...."its goin' in the box!" again, pre match.

lol

So it's fare to say both teams are missing several regulars!!?

When are Saints NOT having an injury crisis?

ahem......... Gary Wheeler is injured, you'll be surprised to hear..!!!

Indeed. We've been debating that point since the year we played at Widnes. We just don't ever seem to have a full strength side out. I cannot remember the last time we had an established 6 and 7 on the same pitch.

Yet despite that we're champions and top of the league, what does that say about Super League?

Roby is a massive miss for them, he is such a great player he would be a massive loss for any side.

Wigan last year were the best team and just imploded in the final.
Bit like us v Leeds in the semi at HJ.

Still the history books will always say Saints 2014

Can i pay on the gate at Saints or is it ticket only /barcode entrance ?

I would imagine so, won't sell out
