That was a stressful hour trying to get tickets. Persisted with the Club site and finally got the 10 tickets I was looking for

Looking on the RL site, it seems much more difficult to get the areas you would want, presumably because the Tottenham stadium is smaller than Wembley. Hopefully, it should be a near sell out, possibly a full sell out, being a new stadium for most.

Anyway, Northwich, Brinscall and Chorley Warriors will be there.

Oh there's more than hope mate. Wigan and Catalans will both have a say. I'll stick my neck out now though and say it'll be a Saints v Wigan GF. I said on Saturday night that that defeat to you at the weekend will fuel us. Sometimes you need a defeat and a big one at that to get the fires burning again and motivate you and I'm hoping that's the case with us.

It’s difficult for him in fairness. I see him as a guy who can play 60-80 minutes and put a mark on a game. He’s getting bits and pieces and it’s tough then to really influence things. I thought you guys might have started him more and benched Roby, just to help him settle in quickly. I don’t see why Roby would retire with how he’s playing and you wonder what Lussick thinks about that.

It will for sure. Had you lost last Saturday with a fully fit Lomax and Dodd in the team, I’d be confident to put every penny I have (£31.24) on Saints retaining the superleague trophy but that halfback trouble has cracked it open. The form of Walmsley also brings Saints back to the pack a little. He is looking human recently and whilst he’s still the best, he’s not mangling teams like last season.

Sorry mate, you misunderstood me. I meant a miracle to go to the end of the season without injuries. I'm certainly not writing you off but I don't think I'm over egging it to say you're on the cusp of derailment. A worsening of Lomax's injury away in my opinion and that's not at all far fetched. I'd even say more likely than the alternative.

Yeah, but he has played #1 tho. Not unreasonable to call him going to FB and Welsby to FB is it.

You've just been unlucky to have three injuries. Like us having Tommy, Cust and Field injured. One isn't a HB, but will have been factored in for cover.
