It’s a definite case of duck-itis. I’d prescribe the viewing of last years cup game with Wigan and Powells last away game vs Wakey twice a day and he’ll be as right as rain in a week.

I'll get my rosary out tonight before bed and say 5 Pete Matautias followed by 3 Oliver Holmes' and a couple of blessed Minikins.

Saints Away in the Cup works for me TBH. I'm not saying that we are a shoe in for the Semis, it'll be a tough game and a good test BUT we've not got a bad record there recently. I think we had them on the ropes last year until the late penalty/yellow for Bullock? put paid to our chances.

I think we are a better balanced team this time out and they should be well backed up behind the sticks. We may lose but if we aren't up for this we may as well pack in

Confidence ,effort & application on the day & we can win.

Sam & the team should all read the Saints training manual beforehand though..."How to play the ref & influence people ".

I think we've all been sensibly restrained this season due to the Powell hangover and playing a few of the lower half teams so far.....but sod it I'm going full Duckie.....we're going to win the lot!! We'll stuff Saints in the quarter and then go on to hammer Wigan in the final and the continue to sweep up the LLS and GF and Dufty MOS - then the Roosters are having it in Feb 25.

I think that would send you too far the other way add in 2019 cup highlights to balance you out as and when required.

I think that would have the same effect as saying ‘Candyman’ three times in front of a mirror. Except saying ‘Mata’utia, Holmes, Minikin’ would result in a bloodier mess.

Is that the book written by Leeds ( Dale) Carnegie by any chance?
That could be a whoosh moment for some btw.
