I hope you're right. It would be great if you were as we would then no doubt see a fine performance, whatever the final score, which would make me happy, for one.

I'd be happy with keeping it competitive for 60 minutes.

Leeds by two scores by full time IMO.

I must admit i'm very surprised by the lack of confidence by you lot :shock: :? :?
I'm not fooled 1 bit though and i'd expect you and us to step up at least 1 more gear and have another cracker.

I think it'll be pretty close in the end. Saints will raise their game for this one. I remember last year when we'd lost 2 or 3 on the bounce and we went into the first Leeds game with no confidence at all. Some were predicting cricket scores. At least we go in this time with a couple of wins behind us and our defence is solid as a rock. Our attack will have to improve quite alot if we're to be competitive and hopefully it'll be a fairly dry track.

it will be a good test for both teams, i think saints will come good and nick it. We lowered our game for salford, and will raise it for leeds

Im up and down for this one, depending on the day.

Part of me thinks we may do okay, part of me saying Leeds are too strong.

I fancy Leeds by 10.

I'm expecting a tight low-scoring game and I'm hoping for us to nick a win late on.

am expecting a fairly low score from saints n leeds, and should be very close thats judging by the F and A for each teams, hardly anything in it at the moment so should be a cracking game, i would say leeds to win though only just woulda said us just if it was at our place

This is going to surprise a lot of you on here.

I think Saints will win.

If any of you still have Fridays game on sky+ or dvd or tape watch it again.

Leeds first try, came first from a fortunate 40:20 (the ball took a wicked bounce to the touchline, then Hall loses the ball in the tackle but fortunately it went back, then the pass from Sinfield is very debatable as if it was forward.

Their second try was down to the inexperience of young Ainscough (hopefuly he'll learn)

The third try was never a try, Kirke passes the ball forward and it crosses the 20 metre line, hits the ground before Donald picks it up before passing it on to Burrow who scored.

The referee can't go to the video ref for the forward pass but if the ball goes forward and hits the floor then it's a knock on, which the video ref can give.

Another of the Leeds tries came when Hock lost the ball, except he didn't it was stolen.

Early in the second half Wigan had two tries disallowed, the first one quite rightly for offside, but the second one the Leeds player made the wrong decision and took O'Loughlin who wasn't even moving.

Then Leeds got the benefit of the doubt try when the referee was stood no more that two metres from the players with a clear view. (I don't know if it was or wasn't a try but the ref was in the best position to make the decision)

Saints will not give Leeds the same amount of ball that Wigan did, and they will not get that many favourable decisions away from home.

Saints by 8 points.






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
