Think so me of our fans are getting carried away. Not an impossible task but for me Saints are clear favourites.

I agree. Hardest ground in the league to get 2 points IMO.

cant believe i'm saying this, but that Saints line up does not worry me one bit

Give over. Have you seen your team on paper? We should win at a canter and i expect we will

Very impressive line the Wakey one. In past seasons there were always four or five no marks, the Snitch's and Grix's of this world but that is an excellent 17.

Is Bibb Brazilian? Strange that he doesn't have a first name.

a comment made in complete ignorance i can only assume, snitch was arguably our best player last year

Tronc is one hell of a prop going off our pre season friendly against Wakefield. Korkidas seems to be playing well again aswell now that he's back at the club he probably see's as home.

They'll be dangerous Wakefield. They've got a big pack and a couple of really dangerous halfbacks. They'll be a tough game for anybody this year but i'd back Saints to have enough to take the game.

think thats probably a fair assessment. despite our good start i would be surprised if we took the two points. it doesn't take much for a couple of late tries when the game is already won to put a completely different perspective on the result either

I hope that your team thinks like you!

i think what i said has been taken in the wrong context, what i meant is that over the years you would look at the Saints line up and think crikey we are gonna get a spanking, but know without sounding like i'm going over the top or getting too confident i just think we can beat you at your place again and it wouldn't be a shock to me

Wakefield have an underated and clever coach and a well organised team. They are to be respected.

I am interested how we fare against them, because I am not convinced we are out of dour Mick's doldrums just yet.

This match constitutes a real test against a team high on confidence and well drilled. I suspect Wakefield will have their own litmus test, and be determined to accomplish claiming a victory over last seasons granfd finalists on their own turf.

Interesting

If that's the case then yes.

So they come home and we are treated to a borefest? Fab.

Let's hope they are more creative than that.

Having said that, they do need to work on their defence. From the highlights alone the defence last week was awful in parts.
