Hope it's a good one and there's certainly no pressure on us. Win or lose this one we've done well this season all things considered.

Yeah Saints should win this one and nobody would argue if they took out the title this year.

I think the team will be confident of beating Leeds again but mindful that it’ll be a different game this time to last - depending on who we have available.

It’s as much a mental barrier as anything for this young Leeds side after getting their backsides kicked last time; however they’re a gritty bunch and players like Prior and Tet have won NRL Grand Finals. Should be really interesting.

Over a thousand tickets sold already to Leeds fans, seating area was sold out this morning should be a cracking atmosphere I just hope we put up a fight like in the CC rather than the last game.

The start is important Saints like to blow teams away early doors and we need to be ready for that.

I don’t think we’ll win but as long as we give s good account of ourselves ill be happy

Not sure about a mental barrier. I reckon the belief's there 100%.

Whether it's misplaced is another matter

Peter Smith tweeted no leeds players cited after Wigan game

Running the RFL since 1895

I liked what Leeming said in his interview today: in order to take the SL title we should have to beat Wigan away, Saints away and then Cats or KR in the GF.

We really will need to tighten up our execution and discipline in that opening quarter to give ourselves a chance. Part of that is being able to select specialists in their preferred positions more, and part is just individual concentration and attention to detail.

Would be very sweet indeed to knock Saints out and I just see it as a positive opportunity to do that. As everyone else has said, as long as we give it a good crack.

Is there anyone from Saints likely to be cited?

They didn’t play last week

Imagine being in this position next year with Sezer, Bentley and Austin being available. Would be some team.

1. Myler / Walker
2. Briscoe 3. Sutcliffe / Broadbent 4. Newman 5. Handley
6. Austin 7. Sezer
8. Oledzki 9. Leeming 10. Prior
11. Bentley 12. Martin
13. Tetevano

14. Dwyer 15. Holyroyd 16. Mellor 17. Smith

Of course they didn't, have no idea why I thought they had

Just a winger short of a good side

haven't you seen the tb benefit posts

Luke Gale??

+1

Agreed and a new prop plus a winger and jobs a good un.
Don`t think we will get a new winger but we live in hope.

Doesn't mean they shouldn't pick up a ban or two.

really getting excited about this game.think saints will have a bit much but they arent in top form and the week off might not help.
first 20 is the key. stay in the game and keep going. like I say saints favourites, and rightly so, but its a one off game.

Everybody is expecting Leeds to lose and Saints to win. We have no pressure on us while all the pressure is on them.

I think we need Gale back to realistically have a chance of winning, not sure what the chances of him playing are.

We need points from somewhere. Myler at full back, Gale in the halves and some punch from one or both centres would be timely.

Suddenly looks a really tidy team that doesn't it. Shame wigan are so far off the mark as having Saints/Leeds/Wigan/Wire/Catalans(/Hull KR?) all strong next year would be great for the league.

Hopefully Saints and Catalans are gonna feel the pressure this week

A fair few teams have recruited well despite the the parlous financial climate, so fingers crossed that with the pandemic on the outs, the fans get back to the grounds and 2022 starts with a bang. Fridays game has that genuine big match feel about it. Really looking forward to it.

Looking forward to this , if can contain them that 1st 20 minutes i reckon we have a great chance.

Interesting game this one.
Obviously Saints should win as they’re at home, finished way above us, and have minimal injuries.

But

If we manage to get an early hit on Walmsley (as Kylie used to do for us in big games) we have a chance. A tough game vs Wigan is in our favour now. I’d rather have that behind me than a week off. Saints could blow us away in first 20, but if we hang on there you just never know.......
