About 10 first teamers missing for saints. Unfortunately it looks like the 39 year drought may be over this year thanks to having a full strength team when everyone else has major injury issues

Yeah playing really well too quick for Saints, but they haven't helped themselves.

Thier spines 1, 6,7 and 13 have only missed 8 game this year, Trueman alone has missed more than that.

Don't think they get a better chance to win a trophy.

Yes we just have to accept it. Fair play to them, signed good players, got them fit and kept them fit. While we were signing Pele, Okunbor, Smith, Tindall and Brown they were signing Hiku, May, Evalds, Burgess, Whitbread.

I'm old enough to remember when they won back to back Championships, I think they could do the same looking at their signings for next year.

Depends on injuries. Wigan and wire better at full strength imo plus probably les cats and maybe saints but they always say its the team who gets their players on the pitch at the business end of the season who win the comp. At least we all acknowledge the LLS isn't a major trophy

As bad as we are, Blake and Ritson wouldn't even get in our side

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:03 pm  

We have 14 missing tomorrow I think. Saints have less and getting mullered. Won't make for pleasant viewing at wigan

Add in that they need to win well and there's only us and Leeds that they haven't beaten yet this season and they have all the motivation to hammer us.

Amir Bourouh on the bench for Salford today.

I know Robertson has been getting all the headlines at Saints, but really like the look of Stephens and Burns
