So unpredictable now, with both sides so weakened.

We still need an attack that can trouble their defence, we have been pretty clueless since Bevan's injury.
One man team? :?

We've got French, Smith & O'Neil missing,
Saints have their whole spine out. Welsby, Lomax, Dodd, Knowles & Clarke are out.

Advantage with us, slightly.

Is Dodd out as well?
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Saints have cas at home and giants away in their remaining fixtures.Wellens knows winning these two will more or less guarantee the playoffs…I think hes hoping all the players are thereabouts for this.

I don't think chucking out a couple of names paints the full picture, (examples Dodds has been dropped this season a few times).

I'm more saints have been playing without the majority of their spine for a few games this season and you'd hope they have settled on a cover set up.

We now have both our halves put for 3 games and from what we have seen the cover isn't up to scratch (attacking wise for Hampshire and defence for farrimond) this also resulted in farrel swapping sides to shore up the defence and while this has let Nsemba shine, Farrel is nowhere near as effective.

Maybe they will be fine but Kierghan seems to be carrying an injury and Hampishire did.something to his hand/wrist at Leeds.

Mainly down to Saints have been dealing with multiple injuries longer than us I expect them more settled and to have the advantage. The next 3 weeks will be a challenge for Peet and while I'm not to optimistic that we will win the upcoming games, I want to see improvement and adjusting to having our 2 key playmaker out.
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.
