Discuss St Helens v Leeds Rhinos here.

[M j M 5,128]

Looks like Leeds plan to focus on games other than this one so Saints should win comfortably.

I don't have a problem with that as a strategy for Leeds but we need to be careful - this is yet another of our top tier games, being shown on Sky's RL prime time, being devalued by one of the sides putting out a substantially weakened team.

[Moove 914]

From Woolf's interview it seems we're treating this like an Easter weekend - strongest possible team on the Friday, rotate on the Monday ready to go again next week. Pick up another couple of wins this week and can probably afford to rotate a bit more ahead of the semis.

Leeds to suffer from the common post-Wembley wobble, maybe? Plus St Helens being the form side of 2020.

Saints by 20+

Saints by 12.

With the best academy in Super League, the baby rhinos are no pushovers. Saints will be good enough to still snatch the win.

Strangely enough Wigan have been the U19 Academy Champions for every year between 2013 and 2019 inclusive... except one when they were runners up.

This proves nothing 

[Father Ted 608]

The only thing it does prove is that Leeds don't have the best academy.

Well I've just had a bet that they will be well and truly pushed over owd cock.

[Gerrumonside ref 2,312]

Great by Roby!

[Old Frightful 6,171]

Brilliant break and pass by Roby.

What would the Skints do without him?

[Gerrumonside ref 2,312]

Saints power over again even with the twelve.

If Sky are going to promote a black lives matter round it might be a good idea if their commentators  could identify Kevin Niquama from Regan Grace!.

Nothing else on Sky Sports.  Thats why we deserve a good TV contract.

I agree but the games are coming too quick because we are squeezing in too many games.

[Clogiron 2,044]

LMS takes the field and Smith & Nephew shares rise!

[Old Frightful 6,171]

Nice if you're Alex Walmsley, just punch someone in front of the ref and it's fine.
