Nout more frustrating, getting beaten by Huddersfield. A boring club, no fans, no atmosphere. They’re the club I wanted to see go down but that’s not gonna happen now.

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.

Saints need to look after the best interests of Saints, i’ve no problem with that.

The committed youngsters thing is a mitigating argument though (at best), a forlorn hope to cling as we’re battered by the crosswinds of another team’s pursuit of silverware. Don’t tell us it is good news for us - we deserve better than that!

Yes, the team Saints will field vs the Broncos could win.. the problem for us is that they very probably won’t.

Our more pressing concern has to be our own games, anyway, and winning some more of those. There’s no point moaning about getting a rough deal if we don’t help ourselves.

Would hardly be a massive shock if the inexperienced Saints side won. BUT London should win, albeit narrowly.

From a Broncos perspective I completely agree. Hopefully by the time we play Giants below us both.

You're hardly bringing them into the social club and how many times have you as the home outnumbered the away team. Good luck in winning the 3 games to pass us

Re.the Huddersfield game..No complaints, the best team on the day won. We looked flat and were out enthused which should not have happened.The four missing from the Leeds game certainly didn,t help, the two Warrington boys(bad call but unfortunately within the rules, but it stinks)Parcell and Linnett early on had to make a difference.A small squad biting us again, will they ever learn? Now back in the poop. Not confident now re. Castleford,Wigan or Catalan games. Absolutely must beat Wakefield, London and Salford. The joys of being a Rovers supporter,but annoyingly this team has it in them to win but just are not doing it enough.Do they have the belief? Lets hope so, if they can beat Warrington,Dull FC,Leeds etc, they are capable, but no second chances from now on.It,s do or die time whatever TS may say in the media. They are my team and I will support them, but they are bloody annoying!
Can we recall Lannon?, can,t remember if we sold him or loaned him, but if we loaned him and could get him back at least it would be another player to help the squad.
