I'll go 32-16 Saints.

surprised rommel hasn't been on here yet

It's almost as if there's something stopping him.

I'm looking forward as usual to one of my favourite games in the season, my FC v the Saints -why, well I just enjoy the quality of both sides, skill on show without the dirty 'gangbang' tactics of Wigan, who just lov-a-druggie (I'd never have believed it of the old wiggoners, shows how much parental control has been usurped) along with the Huddersfield tatic of laying on till Christmas pressie time (or maybe it's just the Bigfella getting more like his uncle Daddy) -I'm so hoping I'm going to see a preview of the CC at Wembley -I so hope (saying my prayers every day, and crossing my fingers too) -but if not, well I'll still see most of the rl fans down there on the day.....grannyfan Cindy

I agree, surely that would have been every teams tactics.

And Soliola.

Tickets £17(adults)or £20 on the day,so shall be going to get mine shortly.I'm hoping we can get a result,but know it is going to be difficult.I also expect to see plenty of high balls to Foster's wing,for super Rich Whiting,to unnerve and outjump him

Foster maybe a great kicker,but defensively has frailties similar to Sharp.

Saints thin squad and the absence of LMS and Clough mean we could realisticly have a very light bench. This could be how you get the upper hand.

I think we (saints) should win, but I think it will be a hard fought affair and therefore a much needed confidence boost if we take it. I'm really looking forward to it.

Unchanged.



Fitz to start in place of Moa if fit, with Radders dropping out. No changes at all if not (assuming Yeaman's fit)

drop radford??? after being one of the better forwards on sunday, leave out lauaki imo and reece

Apart from Kosh pointing out why he isn`t ,there is nothing I wouldn`t give for Radford to score a hat trick.

Do you think Roby will run from dummy half

I thought Hame was better than Radford Sunday, and has had success playing Saints in the past. He also offers better back row cover if we get an injury. I wouldn't lose any sleep if it was the other way round though.

fitz for moa with moa taking washys place, go with 4 forwards and make sure we get good short spells from the bench

These are just the sort of games we seem to raise our levels for (ala Wigan and Warrington away). When we play $h1t teams we seem to drop to their level and struggle. My head says Saints will have too much for us, but I just have a slight inkling we could make it very difficult for them if we perform........


Saints 18 V 16 Hull

If Roby doesn't play well (which is rare) then Saints don't play well.
He has become their new KC.

Stop Roby and you are a long way into beating Saints.

Smailes just tweeted that Fitz unlikely to play tomorrow despite being named in squad.Also Agar says talks ongoing with Horne,and wants him to stay.

I'm praying for fog. whoever wins the forward battle wins the game for me.

Good news for Saints if true.

Ticks has taken on fitzs roll in his abscence and if anything gives us a bit more bite going forward.

Plus Westerman has had more of the ball.He appears to be really stepping it up these last few weeks.

Think he does whe he gets a bit wider don't you think.

Should be a ding dong game. I'm really looking forward to it.

We look dangerous full stop when we play the ball wide.Westerman just seems to be really taking hold of the game these past few weeks,and long may it continue.
