Not many different ways of paring them. So I go for :-

Wigan V Leeds

Saints V Warrington

But Hull may prove me wrong tomorrow.

Wigan will go for Leeds especially if DM is removed for the last 2 weeks of the year.

Hull have a decent chance, I think their pack is actually a better pack, they just lose it in the backs.

Watts, Houghton, Lynch, Manu, Westerman, and Aspinwall better than Hill Monaghan Carvell, Westwood, Waterhouse and Harrison?

Westwood and Carvell are out.

I don't think Wire beating Hull is as nailed on as a lot of people think - Carvell and Westwood are big losses for them and Hull could potentially match them in the forwards. If Hull take it them up front and get some points on the board early and start creating a bit of panic among the home support then Wire could quite easily crumble and start playing playoff suicide rugby yet again. Wire still start favourites all day long naturally, but an upset wouldn't be that much of a shock to me.

So far there are only five teams who know what it takes to get to a grand final, and Hull is one of them. I expect Hull will make into an arm wrestle to put Wire off there game.
Wihether they can keep it up for 80 mins is another matter, Wire are looking battle weary now and injuries piling up, the games are harder from now on can the Wire keep going.

I would have pointed out that you need to check the team sheet, but I suppose everyone else has covered that one. However I suppose Smith could pull a few surprises out of the bag tomorrow. It would not be the first time a coach has tried to pull a fast one by saying players where not playing when they were.

Re: It looks like : Fri Sep 21, 2012 11:18 pm  

idk, heard rumours doubting the fitness not only of Westwood and Carvell, but Hodgson, Monaghan and Morley too. I'd expect Hull to give a wire side missing them a good run for their money, and Wigan to pick them as well.

Re: It looks like : Fri Sep 21, 2012 11:21 pm  

I'm not sure about Morley being unfit, I just don't think he matched he heights last week. The interesting one is Hodgson, if he is not up to speed, that really reduces the strike power Warrington hold.

Did Trent Robinson get coaching tips off Royce Simmons?

Why leave Leon pryce on the bench untik the last 6 mins!
