With the results Saints have had against top sides this is a huge danger game as in how it will damage the for and against. Having the week off is not always a good thing.
If Saints can challenge Penrith and keep it tight, that would be a good result as what we have seen in the past against top 4 sides has been pretty bad.
The good news is if the Raiders lose to the Rabbits which is hugely possible, they will stay 9th and possibly on the same points as the teams ahead of them.
If Saints can get past the next 2 games and still be 2 points from top 8 that will be great for them. The last 5 games are against winnable opponents and if they cannot win at least 3 of those then they don't deserve to make the 8. Hopefully 30pts is enough to make the 8.
