I think you’ve got a point here, discipline will be not only be a major factor but I think he teams are that close it’ll be the deciding factor.

Leeds have had two games under Bentham this season (away at Hull KR and away at St Helens) with a penalty count of 11 for and 22 against.

Leeds will need some of his 'Homer' calls on Sunday.

Believe, we used to have a good record in the cup when the year ended in '8, this is now going to change to years ending in '9!

This will be tight - the team the conceeds the most penalties will very likely lose - discipline is key - Saints haven't lost a cc game for years surely the odds are against them or is that just wishful thinking

It's just like i said before the grand final last year when saint's were 20 odd match's unbeaten.
The longer you go undefeated the closer you are to your next defeat!

And after many years Wigan lost to Salford, not one ot the big teams.

The odds are therefore that Saints won't lose to Leeds.

Leon Pryce has certainly finished his game of hide and seek, hes been in great form the last few weeks, he could be the difference.

But one way or another, for how long?

Agreed, as much as it pains me to say so but thought he ran us ragged at KR the other week.

Need to make sure we keep him wrapped up and control the game at our pace and we'll come out good.

Job for Bailey early on. A nice solid legal hit. Should put him and Graham off their games.
