BP1:

Got my tickets this morning, looking forward to a Saturday afternoon trip out to Cheshire, been a while since I was last there so looking forward to it.


Tough game, we will do well to come away with the spoils. I wasn't overly impressed with Warrington yesterday, thought they made heavy weather of dispatching what looks like a very average Saints outfit. But they have some big game players who can turn any game in an instant, they just don't seem to be quite clicking as a solid unit at the moment, maybe they're saving that for Wembley!!!!


If we go there with attitude and energy, continuing what we've witnessed from them so far, then I don't think too many of us on here will bag them, even if we lose. It would be a big bonus two points if we do steal it.


On the question of Pryce, I'm in two minds. Cust and Sezer had struck up a decent partnership in the first few games, and part of me thinks we should continue with that, put Pryce to full-back (giving him space to chime into the line, playing a heads-up game) until such time he has been fully integrated into the side (hopefully with a few weeks sessions behind him). Thought he looked a little like a fish out of water at half-back on Saturday, unsure where to go and what to do. The one big break he made, late first-half, was an off the cuff moment which nearly brought a spectacular reward.


On the other hand, as others have said, we brought Pryce in as a 6, Rapana at FB and Cust as interchange hooker/half, so maybe we should go with what we intended. I can see the argument for that as well. It's a good job it's JC making these calls and not me, I'd be tying myself in knots over this one!! At the very least, it gives us options to play with across the back division, even allowing for a re-jig mid game if JC feels he needs to inject a change somewhere. I can see Pryce playing both 1 & 6 over the coming weeks, especially if our usual injury woes continue to bite.


If we get anything out of the next 2/3 weeks, it'll be a nice bonus. We're doing ok so far, let's hope we continue to see progress. Onwards and upwards as we say!!
