I'm going to agree with you here Ablett,the grapple tackle expert, runs into O'loughlin and immediately sticks up his hands for the penalty. Cheating scum bag.

WTF

I can't see either team winning both this and the CC match, so if given a choice wouldn't bother me losing on Fri. Not seen Saints much this season but won't catch me writing you guys off.

I can't see previous form counting for much come kick off, still two very evenly matched teams and should be the best game of the season so far.

I don't agree I hate to say it but I thinks Leeds are quite a way in front of us this season and my gut feeling is we won't be as competative and won't get as close to you as we did last season!

Dry Track equals Saints by 10+.

I think we are due a big performance.

With Puletua and others back I take Saints to win Friday and again in the Cup!

Neither team has played close to as well as they are capable of all season.

Saints put in 25mins against Wire, 30mins against Huddersfield & 15mins on Friday, we have defended superbly so far but with ball retention very poor, Puleta will need to show what he is capable of and cause Leeds trouble.

Leeds looked good for 25mins against a disjointed Wigan side who looked dangerous when they got ball in hand, they finished strongly against a tired but relaxed Manly side, struggled against KR (just as we did) and didn't majorly impress against Celtics or depleted Wakey.

Both have really only been doing "enough" in games so far (we blobbed one) this might be the longer term plan to peak at various points in the season with the top 8 play offs its not urgent to win 46-14 every week and be buggered come August / September...

I think it will be close but win or lose i'm not going to be tearing my hair out (whats left of it) unless we let ourselves down in the game - and even then its better now than in October (again)!! Saints by 4
