Great post. "If Austin is finished so are we." A quote from the Wire boards. Together with suspensions and the cup final distraction I agree they could fall as low as 4th.

We need to take care of Wakey, Hudds and Salford and we'll be in an excellent position.

Starting to think this could be our year for a tilt at a place in the GF.

salford could be tricky at the kc,we have yet to put an 80 minute shift in at home.

Warrington have also lost Austin for a few weeks and will have several suspensions following their game at Catalan.
Wigan can be the team to nick second or third from us

Kelly out for at least a few weeks with a rib injury.

Paea out and Green gone as well.

… Bowden back, and possibly Manu, and maybe s.o.else.

Think Satae will be on the bench on Sunday, arrived today, enough time to be ready.

Guess Westerman will be out so I'd go with

Shaul
Ratu
Carlos
Griffin
Faraimo
Connor
Sneyd
Taylor
Bowden
Manu
Mini
Ellis

Masi
Fash
Satae
Lane

Houghton not either?

Strong Saints line-up against Warrington, who have made a number of changes from last weekend.

missed him, think he is a given, just expect him to play.

Big game on Sunday as above looks like a Saints win looking at the squads, gives us a chance to pressure Warrington, who will be distracted and missing Austin.

Won't be easy though as Wakey fighting for their lives.

Just read Westerman will be fit, so will probably mean another week for Satae

No chance, if he’s here, he’ll be playing

I agree should start on the bench but with Paea not fit and Green gone may even start with Taylor.
Depends i guess on how Radford sees the fitness of Bowden whether he starts with Taylor

You kept your half of the deal.

The lesson here is, don't do business with a Robin.

That's 1 ticked off.

Sitting joint second, 4 games to go, 3 at home, we've put ourselves in a great position.

Salford next, very dangerous team with Hastings pulling the strings, we need to make sure he's playing on the back foot.

For 2nd we need to win every game, looking at the fixtures I'd say Wigan will win all 4.

“Playing on the back foot” lol...go on enlighten me.

Opposed to him playing on the front foot. Getting good ball in space against a retreating defence where he can do damage.

Enlightened yet?

Did you really laugh out loud, or are you just being cool?

Wonder what the chance of our last regular season away game at Cas is of getting shifted?
Considering staying over for the night but reluctant to book anywhere in case they move it from the Sunday for Sky purposes.

Warry game with Salford has been moved to Thursday four days after the cup final.

Incredible decision again by the Sky organisation.

Could do with Warrington beating Wigan this week. Should give us a better chance of 3rd at least. I think all the final fixtures should be played on the same day and time.

Dunno BESTY I’m still thinking second
