Great read.

No airs or grace of which would be uncalled for at this time of the season when fans emotions are running high!

Yeah, you'd know all about that kind of thing.

Who's posting it on Redvee then?

never crossed my mind

I don't mean to be picky, but isn't brown out for the season for huddersfield?

with moore and mason also missing, do you still fancy hudds?

yes i do. i am shocked they have been banned as they are two key players. i think they are so well organised and saints are so poor attacking i really fancy the giants

That must have taken some intestinal fortitude by the club.

A club imposed two game ban for missing a training session is much worse than anything the RFL's Disciplinary Panel could come up with.

I picked them because Saints are on dodgy ground at the moment and Shudds gave the Goons a good fettling at weekend to give them a bit of confidence.

Lots of people backing the Giants..
.. this is pretty tempting at skybet - Giants +8, 10/11

If only I had money

Great bet that.

I think Saints will wallop the Giants.

I also think Cataln could give Wakey a scare.

When I saw the thread title I was sure this would be about Garry Schofield.

i like the quote about "Apu being a turnstlye" - very good!!




I dunno why.... but i got a bad feeling Wigan could still have a considerable role to play in these playoffs... Hope i'm wrong!!!!!

Hmmm...not getting too carried away with the 'Saints are doomed' brigade, they looked pretty handy against Leeds - despite being 'off form' (something that nobody remembered to tell them before the game).

In fact I think they will smack Huddersfield's behinds and Leeds will really struggle to get past HKR - although we will.

The word's oracle, not to be confused with orifice.

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it too. I Saints have wobbled a bit at the end of the season, but last week's game didn't really matter all that much to them. Hudds are a good side and I'm not writing them off, but I expect Saints to come through that by a couple of scores.

I think we'll edge HKR, although I would certainly not write them off causing an upset. KR's form hasn't been too flash lately either, but I think they'll front up in the play-offs.

Probably out in the semis at best, 5-8th have to win 3 tough matches on the bounce just to get to the GF, just can't see it myslef

Ask Gledhill, He's got loads of money surley since he stopped betting.

But you could argue that this sort of regime that Brown has introduced is what has made them a great side this year!

The one week ban was perhaps right and proper in the reported circumstances but now we are entering the play off phase and I really couldn't see any other team weakening their squad in this way.

If Huddersfield lose at St Helens by a small margin it could lead to an awkward conversation between the hardline coach and his employers (and employees for that matter.)

Of course there may also be more to the indescretion than has been released through the press.

KR's form not to flashy???
They won 5 of last 7 Including Saints and CC cup winners Warrington oh and there was a derby chucked in there for good measure!!

all your typos are corrected!

Hull KR's SL Play Off form is as yet totally unknown.

Six teams have won their first play off encounter (Castleford, Leeds, Les Catalans, St Helens, Wakefield and Wigan.)

Seven have lost theirs (Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Hull, London, Salford and Warrington.)

Which group will Hull KR join?

Good stat that, like it.

I agree it could be very awkward but I really do admire him for having the balls to do it!
