Yes but he plays for Wakefield. Same as forward passes only count when we do them

Reading they’ll have Thompson, Percival & LMS back for Saturday. God help us.

If we play the first half against saints as Catalan it will be a cricket score, get up in their faces ,stop the offloads, and please run onto the ball .I know these are the basics of the game ,but time and time again we fail to do these and it costs us dearly .We will soon find out if wakey have the stomach and desire for this game ,i personally think we have and can match them in all departments ,we just need to get stuck in for the full eighty and set off like a house on fire .

A few weeks ago I would have said 'bring Saints on!" Since then the team has changed, injuries, new players etc.

Not much chance I'm afraid, unless the team emerge with attitude, purpose and the HEART to win.

I think you are being rather disingenuous to wards Trinity.



The 2 London games aside, Trinity have played with the heart of a lion this season.

Crippled by the worst run of injuries in almost 50 years, they are still within touching distance of a play off spot and doing ok.



Saints are red hot at the moment and will very likely win. After all, they have only lost once all season and have a full squad and home advantage.

The bookies are giving us 14 points start, which may not be enough. However, if we can get something close to a 9/10 performance and have some luck with the bounce of the ball and not get screwed by the officials, maybe, just maybe, we can cause an upset.



One thing we need to do is get as many fans over to St Helens as possible and support the team.



The pressure is all on Saints.

There's that consistency Neil Hudgell is talking about. Then you have fools like Jon Wilkin accusing Trueman of faking it !

I would have agreed with you a fortnight ago - now, it really isn't.

How is it not? Will Saints not be the team that are expected to win this game and progress? In everyone else`s eyes we don`t stand a chance in this game the only real pressure on us should come from the pressure that the squad put on themselves to perform.

Because I can't see Saints going into this in any other mindset than brimming with confidence; they're quick, fluent, highly-skilled and able to score from anywhere on the park. I can't imagine for a minute that they'll feel any pressure when faced with the prospect of playing WT.



I'm not being a pessimist here - or discounting some kind of freak win - but it would be just that; a freak.

But surely that`s the point? There will be a pressure on them to win this game as they are expected to win it, even if they are full of confidence.

If by some miracle we see big Dave`s name on the team sheet and the return of Brough I may be travelling over the M62 with a tiny fraction of hope !

Can't afford any slow starts here. I imagine they'll come out all guns blazing from the off, like Warrington did down at BV earlier in the season. Really need big Dave but can't see him playing
