Scrappy win for Saints please. Keep Rowley ticking over for another week and then feed them to the lions next week.

[Harry Stottle]

For the second week on the bounce I will be a French fan and hope for a victory for them, but they can blow as hot and cold as Saints,

Catalans by 10.

Why oh why would the BBC mark this as one of their picks. Even before the season starts its not exactly an attention grabber with no away fans and a flat atmosphere.

Because Saints Vs Catalans has delivered a lot of excellent close games over the years?

Regardless of the amount of away fans.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

A Catalans win would help Wakefield so that is my preference although not my expectations.

Well the other alternative this evening will grab my attention even less. there will be some away fans, but no home fans and an even flatter atmosphrere. So this game is my pick tonight.

[Chrispmartha]

Catalans will beat Saints easily I reckon theres a few saints players want Rowley gone.

Oh come on !!! That's totally disrespectful towards Huddersfield

[FearNothing]

In the battle of the "teams that got whipped by Toulouse", I really hope Saints continue their dire form and Cats win

Can’t find it through regular search which speaks volumes of the BBCs interest,

My choice of channel may well be dictated by whatever channel Dave Woods isn’t on.

Its showing up on BBC sports as starting at 7.55, so I presume it will pop up on iplayer at that time.

Can’t see us winning this but it may depend which Catalans turn up.

Excuses coming early from the commentary team with Saints having 312 players out and 3 Billions worth of salary cap sat on the bench.

I no longer wonder, the choice of games seems deliberate.

[The Hallucinating Goose]
