Personally I’d like to see as much a second string side as possible. Only two trophies up for grabs and risking one for a league game is naive IMO. I’d like to see Lindop, Wood, Bullock, Ratchford, Wrench, Holroyd etc etc. I don’t want to see Fitzgibbon, Dufty or Williams.

Ok CH I will ask the question another way, what changes would you make?

RD as we all know previous results count for nothing it is what happens on the day that counts.

Absolutely, it’s W71 who has the issue that stats count.
I couldn’t highlight quote his post.

W71. In those years of SL, I think Wigan have only beaten us once in a final.
So things can be levelled in 2 weeks.

They have beaten us in the last 3 Grand Finals? I'm not saying we cannot beat them but we are rightly underdogs.

We are underdogs, but that's best for us. Two great teams, and a good match in nice weather, hopefully ending in us edging it slightly. I won't be too disheartened if we don't, based on Wigan on paper (and media hype) being way stronger than us.

Not a bad achievement for a brand new coach with a young squad with very few 'star' or 'world-class' (®St Helens Ltd/Saddened) players.

Catalan attack is absolutely awful, not once did a player take it to the defensive line. Passing so early is allowing Saints to just slide across.

Would like to see that again, Johnstone looked well in front, then again against saints who cares

Yes, I thought that too.

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Fri May 31, 2024 7:22 pm  

Awful game so far, both teams making errors.

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Fri May 31, 2024 7:26 pm  

Yep this game is dog s**t so far. especially compared to our games against Cats last week. The totally wicked is like a library.

i think he will give anyone with a slight knock, the week off... everyone else plays... we may find quite a few players with niggles.
