Jon Wilkin to have a trouser incident live on air, Saints to hammer Leeds.

I’m going over, not sure why as Im not giving us much chance, the only hope is if we have Bentley and Newman back and Saints hangovers finally kick in.

Saints by 16, the Fat unicorns are rubbish.

Hope the Leeds fans get to see Aidan Sezer soon, it's been a long time since he signed now.

[Davo5]

A Saints win which could get real ugly for Leeds.

[WN83]

The talk after Easter seems to be that it’s not the game the week after but the one after that where it can catch up with you. That is Leeds only hope you’d imagine in terms of a Saints lull. Saints don’t really blow teams away though, so I’m thinking an 18 to 24 point and a comfy nights work.

Leeds are a mile off. Saints by 20+

[Cw25]

St Helens 48-6 Leeds

[Old Frightful]

Can't believe how everyone is backing Saints!

Leeds managed to keep the mighty Hull FC restricted to a 4 point victory and we know how they will go this year.

Okay...I know, I know..

[Vyvyan]

Saints by 10.   Think Leeds will turn up for this one but they lack the quality to stay with the champions. 

[DACS]

The result isn't that important, but Leeds' performance is. Smith's here for the long term with a plan to turn the club around properly, but expectations of quick results have come due to the performances after Smith arrived last year.

I think we need to show we're capable giving Sts a game even in defeat (I have zero expectations of a win). That would quiet the chattering numpties who are already calling for Smith to go, and set us up for the rest of the year. If we get mullered that will take much longer, and we saw last year how losing can become a habit.

Thats often spoken about and rightly so after the typical easter fixtures where players had 2 day turn around's followed by a 4-5 day turnaround. There may well be a bit of a 'lull' but I think the decision to rest forwards like Roby & Paasi for the Cas game and a fully fit Sironen back in the starting line up will bring a lot of energy back to the pack. The return of Makinson will also help with the workload as he's had nearly 2 weeks off and he takes lots of ball carries to help the forwards out.

So while I don't think Saints will necessarily be at their best they still should have more than enough to overcome what looks a fairly average Leeds team this season.

What Leeds need is Gus Gould to offer his opinion stating 'Saints will declare at half time'. This might give them the motivation they need!

My theory is that being at the game (arriving at kick off) will mean I don’t have to listen to and endure the sky/saints love in.

All i want from this game is for us to be in it and make a contest of it, not sure how much of s difference Roby not playing makes but we’ll find out.

Would be pretty funny if we turn them over on their homecoming, however i think it’s unlikely

Leeds only taking 300 fans awful fan base.
