Deja-vu

subs: Feka, Smith, Davies and not sure about No17
just to get in there first

The only positive to come out of the Saints team this year, is they havent got Talau to score the first try, in the first 5 minutes with a simple try in the corner, which seems to be the case everytime we play Saints.

This game we need impact from the bench, because we cant get beat in the first 20 mins AGAIN.

Feka gives us impact and Smith has been going well in reserves by all accounts, so could give us some more attacking options.

We'll get battered, the forwards need to show more heart. Why on earth we spent money on Roberts in the close season rather than bringing in a forward is beyond me.

Everybody is complaining about 5 drives and a kick style of play so why the great desire for another forward? What we need is some different tactics with the players we have.

Because we need someone like 'Westy' in the early 80's, to grip the pack and thence the team. We haven't got a real captain in the team.

You cannot win behind a beaten pack.

How's about signing Mason from Oz ? He is a real dirty so and so, but if you want to win trophies, you need them up front.

Unfortunately, I think that Lenagan is 'too tight' to spend on top class. He would rather 'do it' on the cheap.

Saints will have a field day if Smith plays

They will pick out Hock as the dangerman and do what Leeds did to him and near enough mark him out the game. Unless the other forwards pull their finger out and give him some back up

Hock wasn't in my team

Too much downbeat talk. Look at it this way we have injuries now and a tough game coming up against Leeds - you lot get to steamroller Barrow.. We then have to turn around and play a Wigan team that will no doubt be fired up for the Derby and there will be a massive crowd (capacity I hope) shouting them on. I expect a tough game not a walkover.

It will be a 20 point beating at least imo. The top 2 are so far in front of everyone else in the league, nevermind us.

we will get shafted. most of us will boo and leave after 70 minutes.

I don't associate myself with the booers and the walkers thanks.

Saints will tonk us regardless.

And if we don't improve they'll make 50.

Depressing.

We'll get hammered. The way things are going as well I can see Celtic Crusaders first victory in SL coming on April 19th

Am i right in thinking that a couple of Good friday*s ago Wigan with a sorely depleted side brought in the kids (Brown Robinson Hock Hogdson Aspinwall) to play against a red hot Saints side?And they beat them,,,Think Stuart Raper said that it was "the best game he had been ever involed in "So you never know do you?

I walked friday and i dont mind admitting it

Having a burger and a beer seemed a better idea than sitting there freezing my balls off watching that Sh!TE.

packing it in long before the end of the game.... you getting ideas from the team?

It's going to be a big ask on Easter Thursday because of the gulf between the 2 sides but hopefully that will be closed by a couple of factors. The first one being that Saints will hopefully be coming off the back of a bashathon against Leeds and may be a player or 2 down and thwe second one being we have a couple of young lads playing in their first derbys and hopefully that excitment will spread to the rest of the side and give us half a chance of avoiding a hiding.

It's depressing to think that even though these Saints lads are average(as proved in the world cup) they're still light years ahead of us and the majoirty of superleague.

It's a poor comp at the minute.

5 mins before the end

And yes they dont seemed ar$ed so why should we

each to their own mate. me personally i stay till the end.

And i stay 99% of the time..but the lack of passion and togetherness p!ssed me right off.

And i asked myself why i should be sat in the coldest conditions for ages watching a bunch losers not even try and fight for the badge.

I exclude from my finger pointing

id add ainscough to that which makes seven. the majority of the guys on the field (at any one time). id rather stay for the lads who are playing for the cherry and white than leave cos a of a few pretenders on the rob.

And Richards!
