What a squad the Roosters have.

Think Sts will do well to get within 10 points.

In Saints favour - match fitness and home advantage.

Sad to say I think saints will win. They have all the advantages and are a better team than we were when we pushed the roosters fairly close last season. Interested to see how young Lammy goes if he plays. Hope the weather doesn't spoil the game.

Could work in their favour but I'd still take the Roosters.

Roosters all day long! No Ryan Hall in 2019 or 2020 WCC!

Saints have a massive advantage......they are the only team onthe pitch allowed to play the ball without the foot
