    Pretty sure that Fozard hasn’t been on Saints’ books since 2016.

I prefer to see we have that ability than to romp home 30 points clear every week. Because at the seasons end we might need a come from behind performance.
    You can struggle in games and still win, which has been the case in 3 of our last 4. Wakefield and Leeds aren’t top sides as well.

    We cannot afford to take our foot off the pedal, crack on, because the rest will be going for it, thats for sure.

    I reckon the super 8's will be a different kettle of fish, we have been fortunate that we have played quite a lot of teams with injuries whilst ourselves have been reasonably healthy. In the 8's I reckon a few teams will start to get players back and we will have to be more consistent in our performances, we've not really had many games where we have played to full potential for say 70 to 80 mins.

    Hopefully we might get big Alex at the back end of the 8's, my biggest worry is our half backs those two are getting clobbered every week and could get a bit jaded at the business end, might be time to give Matty a game shortly.

    Yep, agreed. Missing our two frontline props is always going to leave us short for periods in the match. We are doing well to overcome it

    Spot on, Don.
    I said when we lost Walmsley that we would get away with it against most teams but that a couple of teams would trouble us in the forwards. Namely Cas, Hull and Wigan. I never considered Wakefield though. They have some big men and really pushed us on Friday. Credit to them.
    We need Walmsley back ASAP. Ive never been one of Amors biggest fans but we missed him Friday too.

    That's been my concern since the Hull at home in the cup.

    Wigan play Wolves this week so they can't both win every remaining game!
