I think this will be close, it's the game of the weekend, but saints should just edge it. Meli with a late score for saints to win by 4!!!


This game should be on sky!!!!!!!!!!

Saints by 10

They're big though, are Les Cats. They're also very well marshalled in the forwards by Henderson.
Agressive defence will go a long way to stopping them.

Saints 28 - 10 Catalan

Re: Friday : Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:29 am  

On the predictor at work I have us winning 28-18

Re: Friday : Fri Jul 15, 2011 12:27 pm  

Saints for me by 14. With you being at home and Catalans current injury list being the main factors.

Re: Friday : Fri Jul 15, 2011 2:43 pm  

I don't know where people are getting this confidence from. We've been very poor on ball retention for five weeks now and we are at least two forwards down. It could rain heavily as well, meaning we need forwards. The Dragons have been winning consistently, including beating two teams we have as yet been unable to beat.

I hope everyone's confidence is well placed because all I can see is a defeat for Saints tonight. They would have to pull a brilliant performance out of the bag and while that is not impossible, I think Good Friday was the last time we saw one.

And yet you still got beat

I think you'll win tonight, Catalan are without Dureaux and Pryce may be back for you, plus home advantage.

Yes, because of an inept touch judge and a dirty Australian Pie.

Home advantage? We'll sort that one out next season.

Pryce is only coming off the bench, if Simmons can slip him in at some point. I don't think Dureau's absence will make such a big difference to the Dragons but I guess we will find out soon enough.

This I agree with, but I think you're a little dismissive of Catalan's threat - a double over Wigan suggest they've got a performance or two in them.

Think about it more as a counter balance to all this negativity. I can't remember such negativity even when we finished 5th out of 12 in 2004.

That was a year when we had the likes of Gleeson and Talau in the centre's, Albert on the wing, Cunningham, Long , hooper and Scully. Gilmore, higham, graham, roby, moore, wilkin, joynt, keith mason, fasavalu etc.

Could you imagine if the fans over reacted that season. They would have sacked off the likes of Roby, Moore, Higham, Wilkin, Graham as not good enough and that playing kids is would get us no where. But actually the next year we finished top.
