Last Thursday i saw a team playing with cohesion and everyone left it out there. If they do the same on Friday but still get beat then fair enough because as much as they are rivals, Saints are a very good side we all know that. Better than us but i believe those tides are turning slowly but surely as both sides head in different directions of transition. I just hope both teams start and finish with 13 men on the pitch and give us a spectacle. The dry weather forecast should ensure it is a cracker and derby week has started today for me. I am starting to get that itch. Hopefully the working week flies by. Bring it on.

Agree the tide is turning slightly, we were nowhere near them in 2021. But last year we played 4 and won 2. We won convincing at home and won the only “must win” game in the semi final. We got beat convincingly on Good Friday and the magic game could have gone either way.

Well Wardle not banned but Isa is. Will we bring Thornley in and KPP to back row?

Agree. If Marshall is fit to play, KPP on the bench.

Agreed. He doesn't have the aggression to replace what we lose with Isa.

Red Vee calling it the definition of corruption!

Two options I see us going with

If Marshall is fit

French
Miski
King
Wardle
Marshall

KPP back row

Or if Marshall is out

French
King
KPP
Wardle
Miski

With Shorrocks or Smithies filling in at right second row.

Disgrace, RFL always picking on us !!!

On the plus side Isa always seems to get binned against Saints so they might have done us a favour
