I guess the only question is which two out of Hardaker, Hanley and McIntosh play on our right edge.

I've liked the look of McIntosh so far, but i think Lam will leave him out.

Agree, think he’ll go with Hardaker and Hanley, as the first choice pairing.

Watching Lams pre match comments , I’ve never seen him as fired up for a game and expressing the importance of a win. Hope that passion spills onto the pitch with the team, because Saints are there for the taking

Well I’m unexpectedly in the UK (arrived last neet) and I’ve just gone on the website and purchased one of the last remaining tickets. It’s looking like a sellout is likely and I will be shouting gerem’onside in my best Canadian accent from block H of the west stand (it was the last seat available in that block and most of the west stand.
I’ve seen Lammy’s pre match comments and he is indeed fired up. I think we will see a win on the back of our forward pack, who’s main challenge will be to contain their energy and be smart enough to not give away penalties. I am very excited to see our pack at its strongest best.
Cum’on you Leopards !!!

I'm in H but never heard a Canadian accent, then again couldn't distinguish much over the crowd roar, a fine performance to witness live.

There was a brief 10 minutes in the second half when I thought we'd blow it and there were still a few overly panicky plays but when you're up by so much I suppose it's hard to not want to get daft.

Full credit to saints full back, for a small lad he does bounce back from all the physicality that comes his way.

I like how much Halton and Hughes have come on this season.

It's a shame Amone is leaving, not just for the team but he and Mulhern look like solid mates the way they interact off the pitch.

Hopefully McIntosh is the consistent goal kicker we've needed for an age

That was fun

I ended up getting my eldest son and brother to the game so had to transfer over to the east stand to get three seats together. What a bloody game that was !
Just shows what we can do with close to a fully fit starting 17, and I think we have a decent chance of making the playoffs if we can stay fit.
What a cracking nights entertainment that was

One of the best games I have seen us play. Second half I had a bit of a worry after they scored and we bombed some chances, but we calmed down and got back into the groove. Also scored try of the season contender. Saints are totally out of sorts and down on confidence at the moment.

That was as close to an 80 min performance as we,ll get , brutal defence,power plays,runs from dummy half,wingers getting plenty ball.A few injury concerns for next week but if we can manage the next couple of weeks of games coming thick and fast the play offs could be possible
