We are playing on Don Valley mark2, its about 50m wide, average ball should be 2 yards with a short kicking game and plenty 40/20 attempts earl in the count, Marsh at 6.

Marsh is injured I think

He (Marsh) finished Saturdays game with what appeared to be a head injury IIRC.

His kicking game alone second half against Toulouse was brilliant. He's taken so much pressure off Watson... we needed him for the Gateshead game at least.

I dont think Darren Lockyer could pull this one off for us! I hope our guys have practised their ball retention as I've never seen any team reap the ball as much as gatesOZ !

Spot on here, that spell in the 2nd half is something we must hit for 80 mins.

Tough through the middle and a great kick chase.

My thoughts exactly , what a confidence booster for the lad , he's being lined up like a Turkey looking forward to Christmas

If the Giants rated him and wanted some improvement then why recall him for one meaningless game and a good old ar$e kicking against a top Saints team ?

Skybet Saints - 28 . so a close game eh

Certainly is..........I wonder if there`s been any irregular betting around the St Helens area.......

Re the betting thing. I have watched Saints about 3 times in the last 6 weeks I think they have been relatively average. Seems to me if Cunningham and Pryce have quiet games they have a quiet side.Still better than my team but not worth the money paid to their squad imo.
