As for a relegation dogfight we are closer to 5th than we are to relegation (and are the same number of points away from 4th than bottom) but everyone seems to overlook that.

Here is a genuine question to all the Saints fans.....

Your equivalent to our side on Good Friday would be, and feel free to offer better alternative replacements:

Coote, Swift, Costello, Percival, Grace, Fages, Welsby, Walmsley, Lomax, Douglas, Peyroux, Ashworth, Lees
Bentley, Amor, Taia, Knowles

You then lose Swift after 20 minutes and move Peyroux to centre and Costello to the wing.

How do you get on and how many weeks can you play a similar side or a side missing your entire first choice

pack (Walmsley, Roby, Thompson, Taia, Paulo, Knowles) before you start to lose games?



I would Think the team you posted above would win more games than they would lose.
Your 4 points off the bottom place London and 16 points off top place saints.Your 7th place in the league out of 12.The only way you would alter our chances of getting to Old Trafford would be to have a Terry Newton type of player causing mayhem.

I don't remember Catalans or Warrington having to cause much 'Terry Newton style mayhem' in last years semi finals?

Although Catalans did cause mayhem at Bolton, the game was over by half time wasn't it? :lol:

All Saints fans singing we’re going to Wembley when they drew Catalans aswell :lol: :lol: :lol:






Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

It’s slipped my mind.


Doesn’t mean he was right does it? Gildart got torn a new one at Anfield anyway. Also, out of interest, which centres were chosen in the dream team? I take it Gildart was, as he’s so good.

A team chosen by journalists or one chosen by Wayne Bennett. Mmmmm, which one should I choose to respect most? :THINK:

Love the confidence of the Saints fans - worked out well for them last year didn’t it? Remind me who won the grand final again?

Last season Percival scored 20 try’s, set 17 up. Whereas Gildart scored 13 and set 8 up. Percival is far better and the stats back that up.

Percy isn’t fit to lace Gildart’s boots. Let’s not forget, Mr Bennett also opted to play a second rower at centre instead of him too!
