York for me.. 

Saints all over the place.

[Father Ted]

If Saints put in the same amount of effort v York as they did against Wigan they should win.

When did that ever work as a basis for predicting a Rugby match? I think the kit man is inline for a game for Saints.

A York win by 4pts. When Saints have finished their 27matches and if they’re still around they’ll need to look at why so many players have got injuries for the 3rd year running. It would help if they stopped signing injury prone players on loan.

Not looking after injured players properly and bringing players back too soon. Not rotating the squad enough. There are other reasons too.

Bookies giving York 8 or 9 points start.

[WN83]

If Welsby and Robertson are as determined and threatening as last week, I expect Saints to win by a few scores. It was the most lively I've seen the pair of them in months. 

 

Saints by 16

[rleaguer]

York falling off a cliff at the minute, Saints full of injuries, close game, Saints by 6

[Trinity1873]

I think Saints will nick it 24 - 18, but it would be nice if York can pull off the win.

Wigan game apart, York's performances have been largely consistent.

Let people believe what they want, we know where the club are results wise, as you say Wigan aside most other games have been pretty close score wise and far better than would have been predicted at the start of the season.

Thought they were awful againt us (Giants) but yes maybe a bit harsh

[Gerrumonside ref]

Suspect this will be a lot closer than the 40-10 win Saints got at home.

[phiggins]

I thought the new video ref process for tries was meant to make things quicker?

[bratman]

York rampant!

With even the cleanest tries you half expect them to find something.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Nice move for the try there from Sailor, Robertson and Welsby

York rumble over and capitalise on Walmsley’s earlier knock on

Even a 1 yard scoot from dummy half took a while! 

[Barry Badrinath]

I was expecting that to get reviewed for being held up.

 

It changes from week to week

16-16 at HT

[The Blues Ox]

That should have been a red. The explanation by the ref was BS. If that wasn't high level force then I don't know what is.

Insufficient force Its a shoulder charge directly to head. About as dead cert a red you can get. Pathetic from ref/vid ref. 

[Bull Mania]

Another contender for worst captains challenge of year
