Leeds by 8.

Saints will have to improve tenfold on that debacle at Castleford to have any chance here. Leeds haven't got a great record against St Helens recently, but they should be confident that they can win this one.

[JDR]

With a good list of available players I've got to favour the Rhinos. But I wouldn't bet my house on it.

This should be a good game to look forward to..

 

But only if Saints aren't as awful as they were in their last match - that was painful to watch.

[Chrispmartha]

Leeds have a massive issue when it comes to Saints, we haven't beaten them at home since 2017!!

That is Leeds biggest barrier to winning tonight IMO, I think Leeds are the better team but as I say it means nothing when it comes to playing Saints.

[JohnM]

My vote has gone to Leeds on this occasion, but Saints have the power to surprise, despite looking so ordinary this season. They no longer strike fear into the hearts of the opposing teams.

I think the outcome depends on how many -and who -Saints have borrowed from other clubs.

But seriously for once, I think the outcome depends on how many -and who -Saints have borrowed from other clubs.

No doubt someone will be doing the ironing.

[Coggo]

Can’t beat a packed Headingley.

Not sure who it was but the Leeds defender was very lucky he didn't boot the ball as the saints man played it, very odd.

Unfortunately that isn't here tonight, looking very sparse in places.

How was that not a sin bin for Sironen?

[tiffers]

Cynical attempt from Sironen. That was all about getting in Croft's head. 

[Agbrigg]

Blatant shoulder, yellow. 

[Chrispmartha]

Saints flopping and lying on

No idea. Shoulder to the head and off the ball.

Dont think he hit the head, but hes still lucky it wasn't 10.

[dkw]

Great play by Clark.

[Coggo]

This one’s going to be a cracker. 
Buckle up.

I think the chin is part of the head.

[sentoffagain2]

  That try was for John who brought out his potential when coach at Batley.

He didnt hit his chin, if he had with his shoulder at that speed then crofts not getting back up that quickly.

Great quote by Baz. Walmsley as a young lad couldn't even play the ball properly. He still can't.

[Dunbar]

Was Barrie suggesting Walmsley can play the ball properly now?
