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

What a squad the Roosters have.
Think Sts will do well to get within 10 points.

In Saints favour - match fitness and home advantage.

Re: St Helens v Sydney: Squads Announced
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.shaunedwardsfanclub wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2020 6:44 pm In Saints favour - match fitness and home advantage.
