If we don't have Parcell all predictions are void. I was confident we would get 22 points but, without a Hooker? I don't know.

Can`t argue with that. Unless Wakey put the brakes on their freefall you could be right.

Lose at home this weekend and you're right in the doggy doo

Bit surprised that they’re doing it to that extent. No disrespect to Halifax, but you’d think Saints would win their CC semi with a bit to spare whatever. Most teams have a week off and they’ve near enough clinched top spot already, so I suppose sort of I understand it.

Stinks a bit from our POV, but that game against already-relegated Widnes at the end of last season went our way. It happens.

To be fair London beat us when we only rested a couple. Bogey teams lads, bogey team. Nothing at all to do with trying to get Leeds relegated. Nothing at all.

3 or 4 you wouldn't raise an eyebrow. 9 or 10 and it is hard to justify. Saying that we have done similar on couple of occasions and Saints have earnt the lead to enable this plan. Rather than chafe about which is pointless we concentrate on taking our 2 points on Friday and let events elsewhere unfold. Best case scenario is a young inexperienced Saints side out enthuse a London side and beat them at home and that will take what's left of the wind out of Broncos sails. The way I see it going is us winning a tight one, London v Saints u19s being 1 try either way and FC beating Leeds. Will get more bum squeak every week

Saints play Leeds the week before the cup final, however it is the Thursday match. So it could be double bad news for you lot.

As a saints fan, I agree with taking the semi seriously. Last year we had a hard game against Warrington the week before. If we had rested players then we would have been accused of giving Cats too much respect. With our record in Semis we need to be 100% focused on beating Halifax.

On a side note the side we are likely to play could still beat London. Committed youngsters are better than old men with one eye on the week after.

Wakey v London may actually be a Half a Million Pound game. I can see London needing to win to stay in SL, but where a loss for Wakey wouldn't relegate them, but someone else.
