I’m very confident that Wire will turn Saints over, and convincingly.

We're certainly doing it tough in the pack but we'll have a good enough side to compete.

Not many sides beat Saints convincingly and I expect if we do lose out it will be close. I'm fairly confident even with 4 props out.

Expect we'll be:

Welsby
Makinson
Percival
Davies
Bennison

Lomax
Dodd

Lees
Roby
Knowles
Batchelor
Matautia
Bell

Mbye
Royle
Sironen
LMS

Still a strong pack, even without Walmsley and Paasi.

That's a brave statement for a team that has won 3 games in the last 14 (half season) which is statistically worse than 2002.

Re: Packs win games : Fri Sep 15, 2023 1:25 pm  

I'm not expecting us to win tonight. Saints seem to save their best perforances for us in the last couple of years. They won comfortably at their place when they were playing crap and had most of their pack missing. I expect us to play ok in parts but untimately fall away at the end.

I’m worried that I may see more dropped balls than my 1st. year in secondary school.

I'm watching from behind the sofa.

Think your the only one who is confident...be plucky losers again tonight and some will come on here praising the players for running saints so close...
