What's your team likely to be ? We are shot at the moment with a few players playing last week carrying injury s for me I think we might be ready for a slump in form and will be lucky to pick up any points in our next three games saints home. Wigan mms and hull away.

We are shot at no matter how strong our team is, having no half backs all season and no injuries only gives us a 50/50 chance of winning a game.

It was the problem Wigan had with Gelling and Lauaki. When they were ready to play again after injury they weren't allowed to play at Leigh or South Wales. The same thing happened at Leeds with Kylie Leuluai to Hunslet.

It is a condition of their visa/work permit that they are only allowed to play for their registered clubs.

In the case of HI-HO, Perry n Le Frank I think that their permits prohibit them playing for their registered clubs as well.

I think this will be closer than many think DESPITE injuries on both sides although yours are much worse than ours.

The weather forecast is potentially gruesome with torrential rain a possibility this evening over the dark side of the Pennines.

Normally that could be considered an evener, but given the lethergy currently infesting half our squad, it'll probably just make them look even less enthusiastic about being out there.

A nice slow wrestle up the middle should be right up Josh Perry's street. Let's see if he can pull something out of the bag.

I'm looking forward to my Monday Night fix of SL, this should on paper be a great game. (I'm an FC fan by the way)

But from what I've seen of Saints this year, I'm struggling to see past an easy Leeds win, which doesnt sit well with me (we all hate Leeds etc).

I know you guys have had terrible injuries to contend with, something we can empathise with, but for me the brand of rugger under Brown just doesnt seem very 'Saints'

What do you lot think about that? Are you happy with Brown?

For me you seem to have gone from that traditional expansive game to a rough and tumble. almost dirty brand of rugby we saw from the Giants under Brown?

Or perhaps its havnig to play that way because of the injuries?

I genuinley would like to Saints winning after FC! Great fans and traditionaly pleasing on the eye for the neutral, this year though, not so much.

Just a shame we haven't been as lucky as Wigan to have an 8 week training run due to their extremely easy schedule eh?
