Saints away moved to Friday to be on SKY TV!!! : Mon Aug 10, 2009 6:43 pm  

Knew this would happen, the week before the final sky put us on tv against the team we beat in the semis, we are surely going to rest people for that game thus getting beat. Then we will get the usual "you were lucky in the semi" Where as if we field a full strength team we would win again but then you risk injury. We cant win either way but..............We are still going to WEMBLEY!!!!!!!! COME ON FARTOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After Yesterday i'd forgive the lads if they lose against the Bulls on Sunday. That win will have taken alot out of us mentally.

I thought this game had been scheduled for the TV for ages (ie as far ahead as Sky schedules at this time in the season)? Since 99% of our home games are played on a Friday night, and Friday night is one of two nights that Sky show games, then Friday night it was likely to be given that you're visiting us.

I very much doubt you'll be resting players. Or if you want to seriously contend for the grand final then you shouldn't.

You was right, it was originally scheduled for the friday anyway, but has only just been announced as a Live SKY game. Why would us resting players effect our grand final ambitions, its only one game, we would rather have a fully fit squad for the CC final than risk players against yourselves, we can still reach the grand final from 3rd place

No we will definitely be resting players. That way we will settle for a challenge cup final win and runners up in the Grand Final. If it is good enough for you then it is good enough for us.

Was thinking of going to this as I've not missed many this year but due to the cost of Wembley I think I will stay at home and watch it. Afterall we could be going to KRoad again in september!

Perfect chance to bring in lawrence,finnigan,aspinwall and those others who missed out to prove they are worthy of a spot in the 17 for the final.

The fact we can rotate our squad and bring in decent players which we havent been able to do in the SL era is great
