Should be a really good match up - Meli is on fire in the centres at the moment and looks unstoppable at times.

Echo what most are saying, if we are on top of our game we may have a slim chance, but realistically saints are overwhelming favourites and if they play to their best you cant see us winning. BUT no matter how slim, there is always a chance and thats the beauty of the cup, and il certainly go with blind optimism of a rovers win

we have played 4 poor teams in the last 4 weeks and they say we have built momentum. I still reckon we will have to play the best we have all year, and saints will have to be at their utter worst in order for us to progress to the next round.
there just seems to be too much speculation and unrest at the club at the minute which i don't think helps matters on the filed.
Zilch.
Thaler is ref, Childs is running the line
Maybe next year.

he need to bring our very best and hope Saints have an off day, if we start like we did against salford then the games over after 20 mins. IMO Saints will win easily, i hope not though.

All optimism disappeared in an instant. Maybe he will pull up in the warm up

He is but he may not play. He was doing a lot of stretching of one leg towards the end of our match against the Dragons on Friday and he has had hamstring niggles all season so I'm half expecting him to be out of action. Also, Wilkin was taken off having suffered some kind of injury during the match and Makinson, one of our wingers, head clashed with someone else, looking decidedly groggy for a while. It looks like Eastmond could be playing fullback again as Saints have said Wello is looking very doubtful. Pryce will likely be on the bench again as his return is being carefully managed after a year without playing.
With all the disruption to our team this season we have been very inconsistent in our performances so although we have now been to ten CC semis on the bounce, I'm not taking anything for granted this year. I don't think it will be the walkover by us that some of you are anticipating, regardless of who we may have on the pitch!
