Not sure there’s been that many poor decisions. We’ve had rotten luck with injuries and our best young players who would have been the core of the team have hardly played (Ward, Walker, Newman, Holroyd). + we’ve played without any spine continuity.

Not many poor decisions ?

Certainly not been many good ones , it has been a complete disaster since 2017

Sport is cyclical. Let’s hope some bad years behind us now and all on the up with Rohan….!

Saints are missing Percival, Dodd, LMS, Mata'utia and Bell (and Foster and Sumner) along with Hopoate playing on one leg and Lomax playing with one arm.

Hopoate
Makinson Hurrell Davies Grace
Welsby Lomax
Walmsley Roby Lees
Sironen Batchelor
Knowles

Lussick Norman Paasi Wingfield

Should be a good game.

We don't need to win this game, but its really important that we show we can at least be competitive. We know our squad has big gaps, but it would be nice to know that we are genuinely moving in the right direction. I imagine Smith would have earmarked this game as a chance to assess what is close to a full strength team against one that is genuinely good. This is the benchmark and future contract decisions are being made.....

That's the spirit.

We obviously go into the game as the underdogs but Saints are certainly beatable. They sit at the top of the league, but they’re not looking as good as they were earlier in the season.

Should be a good game.

Only if we are not steam rollered by 8-17 and Hurrell. Walmsley slaughtered us in the 2 games At end of 2021.
We will need much greater line speed and intensity in defence or it will be another heavy defeat for Leeds.
