We should get a cricket score with the squad they are putting out…… hopefully no injuries…… bev gets a couple for top try scorer and field gets mom to cement the man of steel…… happy then
Bookies giving us…..44 point start
Or they’ve got Catalans at 50-1in a straight two horse race!
Don’t think I’ve seen odds like that since I offered the same to work colleagues on our opponents just before the 1998 challenge cup final…being southerners they had no idea about rugby league so I got a few takers
Jesus…… im sure childs will keep it as low as pos

We don't have anything to fear from Child as we are at home.
The Leeds game at Headingly showed how out of the way he'll go to win favour from the home fans.

Puzzling with Halsall although he did play Monday (and looked good)?

I'll be interested to see how Peet replaces Faz. The obvious way is to play Bibby and use KPP or Isa in the backrow but I wondered if he may try out something he could use if we make it to the Grand Final. i.e. as he doesn't seem to fancy Bibby vs Hurrell he could play Isa and KPP centre. move Smithies to backrow and put Ellis to 13 as we have all five props available. If he is considering this he may want to give it a try before the big day.

He might but I have never understood changing the side around because of one injury. Players become accustomed to playing a certain role and developing an understanding with their colleagues. For me, one out one in. Either Bibby back in the centres and either KPP or Isa in the second row or, Shorrocks directly replacing Faz.

Shorrocks not good enough

Bibby over Halsall this week is probably a sentimental gesture as its potentially his last game at the DW may well point towards Halsall being preferred for the Semi final

7:38pm . . . just watching the intro on Sky: Alex Walmesley talking about Saints winning the LLS.
Who's playing tonight? Our games always seem to start with talk of Roby reaching 500 games. Is greatest ever Roby retiring? Young sensation playing fullback for Saints etc etc

I’ve done it again
Backed us to score a hatful whenever I do that we are rubbish. Apologies to one and all!
Come on!
