Saints are there for the taking!!

The players already out injured significantly weaken Saints, if others like Burns and Roby are not fit then I think momentum swings heavily in our favour. We can now beat Saints!

Hopefully, confidence should be up this week and maybe a bit of doubt setting in for SH, especially now as they're off the top.

The Saints fans I speak to have been saying but this is the Derby, Wigan will hit their straps. I do think the losses of Lomax, Percival and Greenwood are big losses for Saints. Throw in possible injuries to Roby / Burns and it will be squeaky bum time for Saints!

Walsh is still not fit either IIRC.

I reckon Roby will play. Make a big difference that too.

We're on a great run on Good Friday though, isn't it 5 in a row including last at KR and first at LP? Let's hope we get it right again.

Have you ever seen Roby have a really good game when Mac has played against him Mark?
I cant remember one.

What a state of affairs when we are relying on the opposition having lots of injuries to give us a chance of winning

Considering the injuries that Hull KR had, especially with a decimated pack, Saints should have won with ease. I think Hull KR are underated but maybe by the same token Saints are very overated after not really playing anyone of noire bvar Warrington who were poor. Hull KR thoroughly deserved their win and it would have been a travesty if Saints had stole a draw with 2 tries off the most blatent forward passes you'll see. Saints also seem to have picked up injuries.

No one is relying on anything, they have injuries, so do we!! They had to rely on Phil BENTham to win a GF, I mean imagine that!!

Isn't there a rule whereby anyone leaving the field with concussion is required to miss the following week?
Either way it is academic. As Marra said, Micky has never had a problem closing Roby down!

Agreed they are there for the taking. I don't think Burns will play but Roby and Vea will. Hull kr ran saints off their feet on Friday, their forwards especially Walmsley & Amor could hardly run. Also Masoe only managed 15-20 mins in the whole match. We can't go down the middle against Saints because they are too big, we need to offload and I think we saw signs of that v Wakey. 'Waneball' may actually work against these lot by spreading the ball early.
