Tough game, but should have fitness on them, so if can keep it tight till 60 mins then we have a real chance. Need to play better than we have all season, if we have one of our bad spells they will blow us out of the water.
I'm quite confident to be honest, not seen to much to worry about apart from Barba. If whoever plays right Centre can do a job on Percivil and Houghton does his usual job on Roby, think we'll get the win, of course sky been there will keep saints in touch if required ! Defo can a see another red card coming up

Firstly, we had one controversial decision go our way all game, you’re clearly forgetting the clear decisions which didn’t go our way like the Williams obstruction on Morgan, the Wilkin knock on that went backwards, the penalty to Farrell which wasn’t and the supposed knock on from the last short kick off.
Secondly, you’ve won 5 out of 9, we’ve won 8 out of 9 yet you’re quite confident. You say there’s nothing to worry about apart from Barba yet you mention how your right centre needs to do job on Percival and Houghton needs to do a job on Roby, bit of a contradiction. Also, Houghton is a good player, Roby is world class and 10x the player.

Alright Alright, Calm Down, Calm Down. Barba is worry, but I was been generous about the other 2, Houghton will have Roby in his pocket as per usual, and Griffin will beast Percival, hope that clears it up for you. Come on, your the great St Helens, Sky and ref will keep you within at least 10 points

Griffin is rubbish and Roby is miles better than Houghton. Houghton is that good he didn’t get in the England squad very overrated player. You’ll probably be one of our easier games, we’ll beat you fairly comfortably. Nothing to worry about in your team, you couldn’t beat Salford, very predictable 5 drives up the middle then a high bomb.
Shaul Griffin Tuimavave Connor Talanoa Kelly Sneyd Taylor Houghton Green Manu Lane Bowden
Paea Fash Washbrook Mini
Possibly Logan to come in if one of the backs is particularly fatigued. Litten to miss out just because with Houghton back I don't think we need him.
Why not Litten instead of Washbrook, two pronged attack, Litten certainly great off the mark and if forwards are tiring in the middle from the Easter weekend then he could help capitalise on that, Washbrook certainly doesn't have that in him. Logan would be a good shout too because he does have pace and will be fresh and use Griffin as a second row as many have suggested and rest Minichello, particularly if Manu is back.
I'd rather go with the taking the game to them approach rather than a more defensive orientated approach because I just don't see us coping with their attack. Take the Brazil of yesteryear approach if you will.

A sniff of the thin oxygen at the top of the table is sending you lot daft, nay delusional, Houghton is the equal of Roby, just does the job subtly different. Next you'll be saying Barba is world class and on a par with Lyons and Meninga ...oh wait your lot already have! last season he was rubbish, this seasons he's doing well in a very good saints outfit, it's a bit like saying that turncoat Castleford winger was the standout player in 2016. He's not a standout when the team isn't doing well, that's Roby.
And in any case a crack head like him shouldn't even be playing in this country, it's a disgrace he even got a visa. He'll be gone soon enough and then Hemmings can stop with the crusty sock over him

Houghton overated, don't talk daft. Cocky saints are back, been missing for two years. I expect you to win, you could even win comfy, you are playing well, but so did Cas last year and Warrington the year before, you are certainly beatable just as Leeds with half there team out showed.
