I think it's indisputable that with the team we have, we'll go better in the dry. We have a pack that is more based around mobility than sheer size (although Tony P helps in this respect this season) and Anderson admitted we shedded size in favour of mobility last year, which may well have been our undoing in a rainy slog.

But to say we CAN'T play in the wet is nonsense. We've had some fantastic results in bad weather in recent times.

And if we can't, then we'd better learn quick because we play in England.

Sorry, I should have Saints play better in dry conditions.

Going on the 7 games I have seen the full Leeds team play this season I would have to say so do we.

Have the CC I want to be the first team to win SL 3 times in a row!

I see school's out then

The poster is also OUT i think.

im not sure, but offered the trade, i would certainly let you have the CC so we could become the first team to win SL 3 times in a row,

the CCs a nice distraction but thats all, i would go as far as to say winning the CC but not making the SL GF i would class as a poor season for Leeds,

in fact, i would say whatever leeds did from this point onwards would be classed as a failure if we didnt reach the GF, it is the be all and end all for Leeds and Saints seasons right now

I wouldn't class a CC win and a GF eliminator defeat as a failure for Saints, but I'm sure lots of Saints fans would.

Actually this was posed at the start of the year and the majority of Leeds posters, myself included, said the same. To me I would prefer Old Trafford every time and although a trip down to London would be nice, it isnt top priority.

I wouldn't either. It's another trophy in the cabinet.

I mean of the 2 up and coming games, I would happily take a win in teh CC game than this comign friday, not that I rather take the CC over the GF.

Ah, well I think Rainbow was on about you having the CC Trophy (meaning we would have to lose to you anyway next month) instead of the SL trophy and not really referring to the 2 games that are approaching us.

Hey I am bored with winning the CC, bored senseless. Wouldnt mind winnign the GF trophy again, been a couple years now, so happy to give up the CC winners medal for the GF winner ring pal...

indeed.

I fear the Leeds pack maybe to big and strong for saints pack and even more so with tony p out.

If they pin us down in our own half we will struggle big time with lack of go forward we have without tony p.

We r still defo good enough to beat them as long, pryce, James and kc hit form.

Saints by 4

leeds will have ali out which always makes a big difference to us. maybe bailey and kirke

so we could be very light upfront

always too close to call

Any feedback on Pryce after his ankle problem on Friday?

With Tony P out, Cayless not looking overly happy, one winger still sunning himself on the beaches, a make-do centre with a dodgy lip, a possible no-show by Pryce and with the whole team incapable of holding on to the ball or not having much idea of what to do with it when they do have hold of it, my guess is that a tonking is coming on Friday.

Still. I haven't watched Saints getting tonked since the 2007 Grand Final, so I'm sure it will be an education!

between jammer, cayless, clough, brynn, wilkin and the other young forwards, our pack is fine. I'd put foster in as i think a good kicker will be essential and long sure ain't one anymore (cue him not missing all game)

If Potter does'nt trust Foster against teams like Salford and Celtic then i highly doubt he will chuck him in against Leeds.

true, and he knows him alot better than me, but the people who watch the academy games tend to think he can make it. Maybe leeds is a bit of a big ask.

looks like leeds are the team to beat this season and the mighty saints aint gonna beat em heavy loss me thinks

Will Tony P. be playing next week or not?

Betfair has Saints 7/10, Leeds 4/5.

sounds about right to me, very close i think
