Luke Gale??

Agreed and a new prop plus a winger and jobs a good un.
Don`t think we will get a new winger but we live in hope.

Doesn't mean they shouldn't pick up a ban or two.

really getting excited about this game.think saints will have a bit much but they arent in top form and the week off might not help.
first 20 is the key. stay in the game and keep going. like I say saints favourites, and rightly so, but its a one off game.

Over a thousand tickets sold already to Leeds fans, seating area was sold out this morning should be a cracking atmosphere I just hope we put up a fight like in the CC rather than the last game.

The start is important Saints like to blow teams away early doors and we need to be ready for that.

I don’t think we’ll win but as long as we give s good account of ourselves ill be happy

Everybody is expecting Leeds to lose and Saints to win. We have no pressure on us while all the pressure is on them.

I think we need Gale back to realistically have a chance of winning, not sure what the chances of him playing are.

We need points from somewhere. Myler at full back, Gale in the halves and some punch from one or both centres would be timely.

Imagine being in this position next year with Sezer, Bentley and Austin being available. Would be some team.

1. Myler / Walker
2. Briscoe 3. Sutcliffe / Broadbent 4. Newman 5. Handley
6. Austin 7. Sezer
8. Oledzki 9. Leeming 10. Prior
11. Bentley 12. Martin
13. Tetevano

14. Dwyer 15. Holyroyd 16. Mellor 17. Smith

Suddenly looks a really tidy team that doesn't it. Shame wigan are so far off the mark as having Saints/Leeds/Wigan/Wire/Catalans(/Hull KR?) all strong next year would be great for the league.

A fair few teams have recruited well despite the the parlous financial climate, so fingers crossed that with the pandemic on the outs, the fans get back to the grounds and 2022 starts with a bang. Fridays game has that genuine big match feel about it. Really looking forward to it.

Looking forward to this , if can contain them that 1st 20 minutes i reckon we have a great chance.

Interesting game this one.
Obviously Saints should win as they’re at home, finished way above us, and have minimal injuries.

But

If we manage to get an early hit on Walmsley (as Kylie used to do for us in big games) we have a chance. A tough game vs Wigan is in our favour now. I’d rather have that behind me than a week off. Saints could blow us away in first 20, but if we hang on there you just never know.......
