No offence to Saints at all & the terrible performance at the Stoop notwithstanding, I would honestly be disappointed if we didn't win at the Galpharm this Sunday. Not saying it will be easy, but are we taking ourselves seriously as genuine contenders this season or not? If we are, then these are the games we must win.

i agree, even though its early in the season if we want to be winning something instead of being also rans again then these are the games we need to win, failed v warrington so want to be winning this one

i would like us to get a win on sunday and we are more than capable.
but if we dont it's not the be all and end all,as long as we beat them when it matters, ie:september time

Like others have said it wouldn't be the end of the world if we lost but put in a good performance a la wires. However , at some point , are great potential needs to turn into reality and results and whilst September will be the best time for this to happen , i for one will be disappointed if we don't win on Sunday. Especially being at home. We don't have anything to fear from the traditional big clubs - especially when you read their fans forums.

Hopefully we will especially with the friend for a tenner offer, but I wouldn't bank on it.

Re: vs Saints : Wed Feb 29, 2012 12:50 pm  

Dont think anyone makes excuses anymore , think we've accepted where our support is till we win something !

Re: vs Saints : Wed Feb 29, 2012 12:53 pm  

would like to think we could hit 10k, we seem to attract decent crowds against saints in the past.
but i think 9k will be the maximum

Think it all depends on the amount Saints bring. Money getting tighter and a day out with the lads/family at the footie/rugby isn't cheap.

9,999 if not raining.

I would not read too much into other fans forums. All these places are full of Lemming type's. One jumps they all jump.

At Saints our defence is a concern, but we are also scoring plenty ( something that we failed to do at the start of last year and that most of our fans have missed)

Whilst the defense came apart on Friday after 50 minutes, up until that point it had been pretty tight. I would expect another improvement again this week. I'd be surprised if either team put more than 26 points on the board.

I'm obviously going for a Saints win, but having not seen much of Huddersfield I'm not really sure what to expect. You usually do well on your own patch, so it's going to be a tough outing. We need our Props to man up big time, at the moment TP is firing well (injury is not confirmed yet), but the rest are well not exactly living up to billing as yet.
