Intriguing one. We have a pretty handy record there in recent years and are travelling OK, potentially with a few of Ellis, Green, Michaels, Green available. On the downside they are not yet safe in the top 8 so will be hugely motivated, they embarrassed us in Newcastle and Roby looks re-energised which will be critical for them. Big game.

We need to win this one and will likely have a min of 3 point gap over 5th after round 21 if we do

If you get a good fog you'll do ok.

Wakey have beaten Warrington too which means they're right behind us.

If the best versions of both teams turn up, we will win. If we are slightly off they will turn us over. They were very, very good in Newcastle and regardless of league position, this is still a really tough one for us.

the newcastle performance should be the only motivation we need on friday!

Does anybody know if the Newcaslte game contributed towards the Steve Prescott cup or is it only the home and away games that do?

I'm sure i saw an article saying it was over 3 legs this year

they've a few problems in the halves with matty smith out injured and wilkin suspended

When did Wilkin get suspended?

... Wilkin caught Smith with his arm in the Leeds game, bound to get suspended.

The way Wilkin has played against us recently we don't want him suspended.

Jon Wilkin (St Helens) - Grade B, Dangerous Contact (EGP available)

Gale gets a caution !!!!

No Hull players in bother.

wilkin misses fridays' game, egp put in

Think that makes it advantage St's then



Be disappointed if we don't win this one to be honest.

Imo saints away never easy. But if we play to our best its one I fancy us to take the 2 points

ST HELENS V HULL FC

FRIDAY 7TH JULY, TOTALLY WICKED STADIUM, KO 8PM

Referee: P Bentham
Touch Judges: M Griffiths G Jones
Reserve Referee: M Mannifield
Reserve Touch Judge: T Jones
Video Referee: J Child

We were completely off the pace at magic but Friday night will be very different. I fully expect us to win

Same squad as last week, hopefully Carlos will be fit and put Griffin on the bench, give a rest to one of the young lads or Tomo/Washy.

and a winger wearing only one boot

Junction 22 to 24 on M62 reported to be advertised on the M62 as closed all night! The fun begins!

So that's the summit right the way to Ainley Top. That's not going to take ages to get through is it

?

...Looks like the junctions are closed between J22 and J24, and there are some lane closures on the motorway. (Starts at 21:00)

bloody hell took me ages to convince my wife to go if roads that bad I will be in the doghouse on sat

Manchester Smart Mortorways contract is J20-J18 traffic management goes on between 10pm and 11pm to close the motorway when traveling back from huddersfied we just made it, the other problem is it is also closed between J8 to J12 on the M60 but it will let you access at J12 going East to Leeds safe journey.
