Is rain better or worse.. : Fri Oct 07, 2011 4:14 pm  

Would rain help us rather than hinder our chance this year, if it rained id expect more of forward battle than free flowing rugby, I'd expect our pack to get on top if it came to that and Roby to start findin gaps! Just wondering what everyone thinks?
P.S I do want sun cause Id like to see lomax and Gaskell to be the stars of the show!

It could go either way. With this team I really don't know. It hampered us previously against Leeds but we aren't that team now and our coach is different.

I think that a wet night suits Saints. IMO Leeds have the faster backs but Saints have the better pack, so a tight game would suit Saints, providing that Leeds don't get their kicking game "spot on"

It doesn't matter. The weather will be the same for both teams and we've been playing in cr@p conditions all year so both teams should be used to it.

Lets hope Leeds keep throwing it about like they have all season could be a knock onathon
