I think them having 2 of their first choice props available and us having only 1 will be the deciding factor. I don't think we will make any ground again, but will be plucky on defeat. Saints will celebrate like they've won another world club challenge and make a massive deal out of them coming through adversity. The disciplinary panel have given them yet another massive boost banning 2 of our forwards for very little.

You really think their team is that much better than ours looking at both sides tonight. Funny how our fans think we will get beat and then you go look at Redvee and some of them expect to lose by 14-16 points.

Suprised Thewlis and Matautia are on the bench rather than Clark and Holroyd or Thomas.
Unless concerned about the high ball to Russell

I'm just being miserable because it's saints, it makes me feel sick when we are playing saints. I really don't like losing to them, it's better since we started beating them more regularly but I don't look forward to it. There have been far too many defeats and them being such gracious winners makes it worse.

As a Saints fan i'd be amazed if we won tonight

Saints will win simply because they need it more than us just to pull clear of the relegation zone and mid table safety

McGuire is an Origin prop, if Wire can’t beat that Saints side then you need to consider whether a GF appearance is realistic. Which two forwards have been unfairly suspended?
