Saints are level on points with Wigan but well behind on points difference so I would imagine they won't ease up when in front.

Yes but we beat Wigan

The team is capable of competing and winning this weekend ,but the attitude must be right ,we’ve done it before and we can do it again, just need the players with the Wigan mentality and not the Cas one, and we are in with a shout . Never write Trin off ,we bomb spectacularly when expected to win and we also by the same token win games when no one gives us a hope in hell of winning . You can usually see in the first 10/15 mins if players are up for it ,or it’s yet another long day at the office . One things for sure if Walmsley and Paasi are still out courtesy of Asiata’s tackling technique then surely we have a chance of getting on the front foot in the forwards at least as we will be playing against old timers in LMS (37)and Roby (37) ,and as plenty have pointed out on here ,over 30’s are a waste of time in our game !!!!

Thinking we will see a new half back combination.

Maybe not, it depends whether Max is fit, if he isn't then Dagger will have to play at full back, which means it will have to be Lino and Gale at half back

We could have the edge in the pack but, our backs are simply not good enough.
Slow and poor service from the halves doesn't give them a chance and the quality in Saints 1-7 (and at hooker) is of an altogether different standard.
Nothing is impossible but, we need to have close to our best day and Saints would need to have an off day.
Right now, even without their two biggest props (especially Walmsley), Saints are on a roll and trying to secure a top 2 spot. And as others have pointed out, they will be looking to improve their points difference, which could be disastrous for us.

Problem is St may have those old timers in, but do not have 12 more in the team squad to go with them .On the Walmsley and Passi,are still out, how come the Asiata's tackling technique is not band . It was is tackle that started the punch up at Wembley, if it is not band other team coaches could start copying it , Been band in Australia.

The "punch up" at Wembley (and it was hardly that, but hey never let the truth get in the way of a "good" story) seemed to be premeditated from KR. Their coach WAS copying; but only aping Wellens & Wilkin - two prize Ws!

The technique is not "band" (once is a slip, but three times?) over here and Bongser doubts that the RFL will outlaw it purely on Alegend's "band"wagon grump. Perhaps Wellens should look at Saints conditioning team - carrying that amount of excess weight can't be good for the knees.
