I got in touch with ViaPlay and they responded that their channels were only available in the UK.

A pity that the RFL is allowing such insular coverage. They should tell ViaPlay to air it on Premier Sports as well.

[OnStrike]

This one is tempting me to get ViaPlay. Mrs OnStrike won't be happy though. Fax to stay with them until last 15 and Saints to run away with it a bit and win by between 12 and 20

I can't see owt but a bit of a battering for Fax but if we make a bit of brass and come through with our heads up and a clean bill of health that'll do me. Up The Fax ️

Should get a decent crowd, on Monday this Week Saints reported that they'd already sold 1100 tickets.

I thought this may be a close game at first but it looks like Wellens is going with a fairly strong team so I can actually see it being 1 sided in the end.

Fax 10 - 42 Saints

Walmsley V Ritson has the potential to be interesting if we see that battle again. Both try scoring machines and 3-1 to Walmsley last season but will be a lot tougher this time around obviously.

Reality is that it should be a sound beating for us but my hopes are we don't concede very early as that would dampen the atmosphere and that we can continue to play some nice rugby maybe scoring a try or two.

[Jughead]

Strong Saints side named, as it should be not just to show some respect to Fax, who rattled us in 2019, but also because we need to get into some form and rhythm.

Depends which Fax side shows up. Play like you did against Widnes and you're in for a long night.

See Roby is rested. What a lazy man 

[Cw25]

Those that say Fax to win, Get your money on it.

[graveyard johnny]

if fax win will they be crowned world champions of panthers RL teams  after the wcc result?

[daz39]

If Saints do happen to lose this can they still blame the trip to Australia?

Can't see anything but a big Saints win but i hope Fax give it a good shot.

We are only about 11-1, hardly worth the hassle of trying to get a quid on with Skybet.

Over 4k tickets sold so far with Fax over 2k which to be honest is a lot more than I thought.

I hope it doesn’t rain and is a nice evening. I’ll go for a 22pt win.

I wouldn’t care if it was indoors george you still have got to get there. Rain does put people off, rain & wind is even worse.
Do they get any sun in that part of yarkshire ?.
