Could be some tight games in Super League this weekend. 1v2, 3v4, 5v6, 7v9, 8v12, 10v11.

Got some momentum coming into this, beating our closest enemy and the then unbeaten table toppers should give the players some real desire to go out there. Our young lads are proving themselves and I thought you could really see the desire and passion in how hard they attacked warrington's line; something we have been lacking in recent years I feel, players who want to put a big hit in, smash the line and disorganise it. We saw that a few times with Warrington, hit the line, quick play the ball and Houghton darting into the hole that had been created by the hit. Loving the fast pace this year. As others have said we have a decent record at saints. We have a decent chance of a win here.



After this game of course we have Huddersfield, Leeds, Wakefield and Catalans which are all very winnable games so could we be looking at 8 wins in a row by the end of April?

Ellis wont want a rest and nor should he be rested if he's fit. Probably the fittest player at the club and didn't do 80 on Monday had a decent rest. You want your best players and your captain fully involved when playing away at Saints

James child Reffing Friday. Good luck with that one

Ellis is our best player and captain, no way should we rest him and we won't! I'm sure there will be some changes regarding the fringe players but personally i think Talanoa doesnt deserve to come back in. Would be happy to see Fonua at centre and push Michaels back to the wing for one of the 2 youngsters, probably Lancy.

Squad:



Bowden, Ellis, Fonua, Green, Hadley, Houghton, Manu, Michaels, Minichiello, Naughton, Paleaaesina, Pritchard, Shaul, Sneyd, Taylor, Tuimavave, Washbrook, Watts, Yeaman.

Thompson not even making the 19 at the moment!

No Tally.

If they go to St's with the right attitude and play a fairly expansive game as we did in the last 20 against Rovers and the 2nd half against Warrington we should come away with 2pts.



We look so much better when playing the ball quickly, actually moving the ball about and with support play with runners.



Also let Sneyd have what seemed to be a freer role against Wire where he controlled the game for us popping up either side where needed
