I agree. We are playing with a fair number of players missing and some inexperienced players taking their place. Always good to see the young lads given a chance but fear it could be a heavy defeat. Saying that we have gone over there before getting mullered and come back to win so who knows what might happen. One thing for certain it will be warm.
Two weeks ago we were playing in five degrees and rain in Hull, now we're playing in heat. It is another potential factor which could go against us for sure.
I think it's harder to transition from cold to heat than the other way around, especially for the big men.
Clearly, we cannot afford stupid mistakes and errors today. It is a day for technical quality, not winging it around and hoping for the best - at least unless we start to dominate.
I'm not confident this squad can deliver that kind of disciplined performance still. We're going to have to complete very high and get to our kicks. If we start effing about we could get our bottoms handed to us.
Definitely underdogs: let's hope we can at least compete well, throughout the whole game, and then maybe Saints away is more winnable with Newman and Holroyd (maybe Croft) back in and fit.

We should be at least competing in every game. We have no divine right to win any game, but with th resources we have at hand we should minimum compete in every single game. The rest is down to the coaches and players to turn competing into winning.
It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.
He’s planning to spell players and keep the pace high on Cats throughout. Also gives us cover for Frawley and Sinfield. Up to the forwards to find their fronts and speed up the ruck. It’s quite an attacking selection, we’re not going to die wondering…
