It will be 54 - 0 with 8 mins to go then we will run in 3 tries and saintsfan will comment on how well we finished the game and how fitter we are under Royce.

Being serious, I doubt we will lost to 54-18 but it wouldn't shock me to be honest. This season is the worst I've seen a saints side play since super league started.

It worries me that I can't see where we going to score, who's going to create anything? We can't even grind a win out like we did under potter as our defence is utter shocking.

I'm going for a pretty heavy loss.

I can't help but agree

One of the problems with this Saints side is it lacks leaders, that's why confidence is an issue. Even in the draw with Wigan you could see a lack of confidence until we scored and then we started to play ok. We need to get used to playing what's in front of us rather than worrying about the scoreboard and forget the fact we're behind

If Leeds get in front early it will become a heavy and painful defeat, if we get in front early it will be a narrow and painful defeat. Either way we won't win

Even very good Saints sides have been badly beaten at Headingley before

That was so much sweeter as Leeds got embarrassed at KR earlier that season, only our 2nd loss all season, which I was in attendance for. Looking at the Saints line up its hard to believe that actually happened.

Never underestimate the Millward factor.

Probably a daft question, but is the game on SKY?

With the sheer amount of crap games on at the moment, I wouldnt be surprised to see it not being on.

Unfortunately, it is. At present I would much rather us be ignored by Sky!

6-8 point win for Saints on Saturday IMO, and it will be a belting game.

Personally, I can't wait for it.

The Lads will have got a hiding after last weeks performance, and with kyle out we hopefully will play more like a team. Thats what Quins and Cas are currently doing with far worse squads than ours

I wish I had your optimism about Saturday! I'd love us to really shut everyone up and blast Leeds away but with all the drama going on at the club just now plus key injuries I just can't summon up that level of optimism. Well done you for doing so though!
