Linnet is now out for 12 weeks with the same injury as Lomax. I know Saints have already lost Dodd, but it seems a big gamble Saint sticking with Lomax who'll be playing on one arm.

I guess he'll defend at fullback but if not we just need to send as much traffic at him as possible.

Strange how TS said Linnett could play with injections. Said the consultant advised he couldn’t do any more damage to it? Now the opposite has happened

Surely if Lomax plays we will give him as much work to do as possible. Kick early if he is defending at full back or attack the side he is playing if not.

Wonder if Kendall will be the ref again? Chance of another sending off if so?

For me personally I’d normally say saints away is a free hit.
Saints will be busted regardless of who takes the field for them Friday night. If we are to be serious contenders then it’s a Must Win game.
Time for Connor Gale Reynolds to step up

it's a good chance but must win? Don't tell the bookies that Saints 3/10 on.

Re: Saints away : Fri May 13, 2022 12:42 am  

Personally i wouldnt select Reynolds or Griffin from the start.
Reynolds missed tackle rate, is one of the highest in the comp, and Griffin is prone to individual errors, at best id bench them,

Connor
mcintosh
carlos
wynne
swift
lovo
gale
taylor
houghton
sao
lane
mau
fash

satae
brown
griffin
reynolds

wont happen as jj will play

A prediction of a narrow win against the Saints. A favourite match-up for me as many on here know.

It's not a must win game.

Why would Saints be busted? They've not played for a week and they gave the first team a week off after Easter.

Re: Saints away : Fri May 13, 2022 5:49 am  

Saints are 1/4 or thereabouts with most bookies. Minimal injuries for them and massive motivation to get back on track in style after the cup loss, plus home advantage. To have any chance we'll need our halves to produce quality we've not seen from them yet in addition to the pack producing something special. Saints have only really lost once this year if you discount the game where they played their reserves, so calling this a "must win" is crackers IMO.

Gale not selected, Griffin bench.

Have you seen their 21 squad. Lomax with one arm , his half back partner is out. Makinson and Percival both look like they took knocks last week. Farrell first half try showed they’re not at top of their game. Fact they’ve played their kids before the semi match shows they’ve got players carrying knocks. When was the last time saints did that?.
Their line speed wasn’t at his usual level.
thought they looked off the pace.
If we don’t beat them on a 6 day turnaround then I’d be disappointed.
