RD 20 | St Helens (A) : Sat Jul 22, 2023 6:38 pm  

St Helens coming up next week and a tough encounter expected. They look to have coped a few injuries today with Paasi the worst, they may have also lost Walmsley and Welsby who both were hobbling badly at the end of the game today. They’ll likely have Roby and Percival back, but will lose Lussick as he returns home. Don’t think Mbye will be over in time for the game.

Aye, they took a bit of a battering today. TBH I'd be surprised if they manage to lift themselves next time out. Then again, they might not need to if we throw in one of our random no-shows..

They'll be out for revenge because they probably blame Richie Myler for today's defeat.

A one off chance to put the saints to the sword should be a walk in the park with all their injuries.

They'll have no more injuries than we do.

Well that's got to be a first.
A trip to St.Helens described as "a walk in the park" for a team struggling in 8th place.

This is a winnable game - Wellens looks like a very good technical coach but hasn't yet developed the man management skills of a top coach. My concern would be are the Saints academy players better than our first team players? Saints are a good side and cannot be under estimated.

We are very good at underestimating teams. We only seem to go well when we are not expected to win.

Completely agree, do people honestly believe an 8th placed team who’ve already lost to Wakey and Cas would ever be favourites vs 4 time champions?!

I wouldnt say it will be a walk in the park but we've already beaten Saints this year, so why cant we do it again?
