Who'd have thought before the season started that we'd be praying for Lomax and Gaskell to be fit as our 1st choice halfback pairing?

I'd rather Lomax and Pryce

Incidentally, I don't think this match will be a banana skin.

I don't have a particular worry about Saints attitude, but am wary that human nature will mean that players back plus lowly opposition will equal overcofidence.

I also reckon royce will take Makinson as his back reserve, rather than eastmond and use Wilkin if we've a problem in the halves (halfs?).

That wasn't the point though (either in the post I was answering or the link). The point was about keeping our guys focused. Royce has already recognised the potential problem and addressed it with our players.

If saints don't win this by at least 20 points, questions need to be asked.

???? Silly me, I thought that the Saints considering their injury crisis were actually punching above their weight this season!
Although the Crusaders have got off to a slow start this season, I do recall them putting Huddersfield to the sword.
In fact I have a photo taken at full time at the end of that match as my screen saver.
