Saints at home : Tue Apr 23, 2013 10:14 am  

Great fun on the Saints board.

Here is one poster : So on Saturday at London, we'll now be without:

Lomax, Gardner, Wheeler, Meli, Gaskell, Yates Perry, Roby, Manu, Flanagan, Wilkin, Walker.



Surely, we must be in with a chance?

Re: Saints at home : Tue Apr 23, 2013 10:31 am  

Well it all depends how we start off, the silly penalties we may give away and mistakes, then the all important second half!!

There will be a lot of Saints youngsters, never seen the Saints forums in such a state, the kids will either excel or collapse, it is up to Tony and the team to ensure it is the latter!

We are in with a chance, though a couple of them are marginal squad players and sending Gaskell to Salford was their choice.

We''l be missing at least: Howell, Randall, Rodney and Clubb.

Is Puletua going to be fit then?

You guys do realise there's an expectation of a crowd of upto 60,000 at Twickenham on Saturday, don't you?

But that's at the RFU - it's the Army v Navy game. Starts at 3:00. Think Broncos v Saints is on the undercard. I'll be at the Stoop to see whatever team Saints put out - whatever/whoever, I hope to see a good game - never understimate the opposition, and if they are good enough they are old enough to do well. So it's all to play for, for both sides.

I believe that is why the game was moved to a 1pm kick-off.

Surely this is our best ever chance of turning Saints over given the players they have missing........we need the points guys.

Re: Saints at home : Tue Apr 23, 2013 2:27 pm  

Definitely a chance here, and I didn't think I'd say that a few days ago - fingers crossed, peeps!

Re: Saints at home : Tue Apr 23, 2013 2:38 pm  

Oh, and the ref's Tim Roby and touchies J. Roberts and M. Craven.

He apparently played last week but he was anonymous. How fit he is, is anyone's guess but so far as us fans are aware, he is playing.

We are giving a debut to an 18 year old called Luke Thompson, who apparently is a prop but I'd never heard of him until the announcement.

God knows who will be our halfbacks on this occasion because us fans have no clue at all!

Give over.

I'm sorry but that match is like the boat race - I just can't understand why anyone gives the remotest toss about it
