St Helens away : Wed Feb 14, 2024 6:22 pm  

Squads announced. Got to be honest doesn’t appear to be a like for like but it will be interesting to see how we go. Hope the boys give a good account of themselves and that behind the scenes we are working hard to add depth and quality to the squad. COYB

First proper game, so have to wait and see.
Hopefully don't get nilled! I reckon they will rip us to pieces on the fringes, from what have seen so far. Reckon 50 plus with tommy makinson hat trick if not more.
At best we might cross the line a couple of times.
Let the fun begin.

Sounds about right. If it had been later in the season they might have rested a few. As is, they’ll all want to get out there and impress. Hopefully decent performance by us and no injuries.

Yep, think the priority for us is to get through it with no injuries

Re: St Helens away : Fri Feb 16, 2024 4:25 pm  

How many players do you think that we will have sent off tonight?
I am thinking that we will have two red cards, like Hull FC last night.

As I say teams who adapt to the new rules on head contact and correct PTB correctly will be those who do well. Think FC were lucky first yellow card was not red

Re: St Helens away : Fri Feb 16, 2024 8:10 pm  

So far we are showing we don't understand the new rules

Wouldn’t upset me if Barry Mac said a little less.

Kennedy is a big unit but he seems to struggle to get hold of players.
Also seems to have taken some ‘tips’ from Albert on offloading. Hope he stops.

Penalties are killing us.
We're doing OK so far, but it's going to blow out though, isn't it?
