Obviously our main missing players are Dobson, Green and Galea. All very influencial players in their own right with their notable attacking abilities seriously effecting our options going forward.
I think the two packs will go head to head very well, the sheer size of Micky Paea (up to now he's impressed me as much as his brother at Catalans) and Con Mika who is very skillful and hits like a bus!! Joel Clinton is currently the best meter making forward in the Super League and Lovegrove the top defender yet has been attacking out on the wing!
Craig Hall seems to be slotting in to the half back role better than most of us fans expected. He has a lot to work on but will be having to work with yet another scrum half (Withers) this week. On the subject of Withers he was one of the halfs that kept Dobson out of the NRL so he isn't such a bad option. That said it is a very make shift set up in what most would say is the main part of a team. Getting our big pack around the park and keeping its shape will be our biggest challenge but if they defend like they did against Wakefield and do not give away as many penalties as they have against Leeds and Wakefield (12 and 13) we have a good chance of staying in touching distance.
This all being said I would go for a Saints win by around 12-14pts injury permitting! I hope I am wrong but with Roby in fine form and Hohia in what I'd say is his best position you should be able to get around the park well with Wellens comminicating with the defenders in front of him to stop our limited attack getting through.
My prediction is 10-22.
It looks like Ben will be out until the Mid Summer.
