Same for us, fortunately HKR are in a worse boat than anyone injury wise and our reserves have had a blinding season so I reckon we've a decent chance tomorrow, almost feel sorry for Cas/Salford/Leeds who are going to have to go as strong as they can these next two fixtures, whoever makes it to 5th/6th will barely be in a fit state for their play-off game

Agreed. I was going to do a double with HKR at +4 however after seeing your squad it’s very feasible that you’ll win.



Astley was outstanding against Saints last week and I know all about the others anyway.

Not sure about Astley Stu, he's very kick happy and doesn't take the line on enough IMO. I hope Eckersley is fit he's had a wretched year with injuries and played very few games. Good to see Tom Forber in the squad, he was my m.o.m. v Saints last week, a bit on the small side but very skillful and tough.

There’s a decent chance of a Saints v Leeds semi final on the cards. Be very interesting to see Sky’s decision on their exclusive game if that’s the case. Probably the only scenario in which I can see them picking us. Any other fixture and they’d probably be fine picking the Wigan game I’d imagine

Leeds have to make it first

Easiest solution as a gesture of goodwill would be for Latics to move their fixture to the Sunday, they've got three weeks to do it and it's not as if it's a local derby that would possibly lose them revenue by moving it, either that or Sky could come to the rescue and pick them for their Sunday lunchtime game

The current contract allows the Warriors precedence regarding the use of the ground if Sky choose a fixture, I don’t know how it works with Channel Four.

I've been told our playoff game will be on the Friday.

Can you honestly see the Latics doing that?.

Probably not, the chairman seems to have got himself in with the Cockney Latics mob and they'd throw the biggest hissy fit you'll ever see if they moved it but like I said it would cost them nothing and get a bit of goodwill after a period of somewhat strained relations between the two clubs

The football morons don't care about that, it doesn't compute in their simplistic minds
