v Whitehaven (A)

[Raider83]

Need 2 points here desperately, gonna be tough as I know Haven seem to pick up results. I'm gonna say the lads will do it and bring the points home

[mickmike wilson]

Be a great game to win that’s for sure.

[spanishknight]

[UpTheRaiders]

Tough one this, hopefully we can get 4 more wins to see us safe 

[Left Winger]

Need to win 2 out of 3 away games at Whitehaven, Keighley and Newcastle - all 4 pointers.

Need to beat Swinton at home.

That's 3 wins.

So might come down to a must win last home game v York.

Swinton and Newcastle both have difficult away games same day, Halifax and Batley.

Yes..Haven away is important but the crucial game looks to be at Lawkholme Lane.The Cougars have lost 10 out of their last 11 and with trips to Fev/Eagles/Broncos  and at home to Batley/Barrow/Fax they have the toughest run in of the bottom  clubs.2 wins may be enough for the Raiders as long as one is at Keighley...but the Raiders go there after tough trips to Haven and TO..

Completely agree. Keighley away is biggest game in years

Is Carter allowed to play against us ?

I'd imagine so, we released him so not a loan with conditions

[Dave W]

A lot will depend on what team we manage to put out. Are there any of the walking wounded back fit again? 

[UpTheRaiders]

Harvey Makin the squad for Wigan reserves tonight. Leaves us massively low in the forwards

[2Cents]

Ritson is not in tonight's 17 for Saints game, but was in squad of 21, so we can't have him for Monday.

Some speculation he has a head-knock....

St Helens fans are divided on whether he's good enough for Super League, or only a good Championship player.

They complain they've yet to see his blistering pace (plays left-wing, not his favoured right) but they've been impressed with his defence.

Tee has only only scored 4 tries in 18 games, primarily because he's had very poor service (unlike the feed he had from Miloudi) from selfish centres.

Many Saints fans prefer Bennison as left-winger, who is good, but lacks speed.

Feel sure Saints will keep Tee and contract him for next season.

If so, will there be some cash coming to Barrow?

Keighley have defeated Batley. Awful for us

Whitehaven is a must win 

Tulouse away after that is goon to be even harder

[Ulverstonian]

Well Keighley well and truly put the cat amongst the pigeons. Great for them but terrible for us. 

To be brutally honest it serves us right for the way we have played all season.  Not been good enough when it mattered.  Swinton away, Newcastle, Keighley,  Whitehaven,  Batley all at home should have been wins. 

Going to be tough from now on as these games left are not going to be easy for us. 

[wayner]

I think any one of our three teams that's Swinton (my team) yourselves and Keighley can avoid the drop with a couple of wins - to me the second relegation place will be decided by who wins our encounters Barrow / Swinton and Keighley / Barrow

Its a shame we aren't all chasing a top five spot rather that fighting to avoid relegation

[ghost of uncle fester]

We all need calm,yes Keighley result is a surprise but there's games against Whitehaven,Swinton, Keighley and Newcastle,fate is purely in own hands,and whose to say we won't do York at home either while others have far worse fixtures #stayingup

[RawlinsonRaider]

So much depends on what team we can turn out, squad is very depleted at the moment but no lack of effort. I can't see us risking players at Toulouse, need to target the other remaining games.  

[Raider83]

Judging by the way he celebrated scoring a try against us, I can't see Jake Carter playing for Barrow again

 

14-10 to Whitehaven at half time

[Bearman]

EVERY 50/50has gone to Hsven

[Masters 13]

Refs got a gold, chocolate and blue shirt on. 

[Left Winger]

Get in ! played 14 men there too. 

[Bearman]

Get In!!!

[Raider83]

WHAT A WIN!!!
