no roby in the saints 19

According to the Saints forum the rumour is he will be in the 17 and Long will drop out.

As I have said before Smoke and mirrors, we'll concnetrate on ourselves and prepare correctly and be in as good a shape as we can.

We'll be up for the game and if we preform on the day we'll win, forget mind games, focus on what we can control, NB is down to earth and will instill this into the team.

Can't believe how much the butterflies have kicked in now!
After watching the first semi-final and seeing the joy and pain in both sets of players and fans has really highlighted the 2 emotions involved on Challenge Cup semi-final day.
Gonna need to sink a few beers now to settle the nerves

I'm just the same. If I'm like that I don't know how the players feel?

That's exactly my philosophy, just going to enjoy the experience of the whole day and may the best team win.

Hear hear. Lets hope its as much of a classic as todays. You will all want to feel drained of energy by the end and have no nails left. That would show a classic.

We'll see either you Giants or Saints at Wembley. Best of luck to the both of you. Make it a classic!
