Shocking isn't it? a thread on losing 4 players in one before at the end of the season.

Don't see anyone making excuses though ala the Saints...

Who cares about the wolves anyway, they bottle it every year in the play offs. They wouldn't even be in 2nd spot if we'd had a near full strength squad this year.

It is so funny to see an eight page thread on their board about four measly injuries (with only three of any note - Westwood, Hodgson and Morley) and we've gone the whole bloody season being unable to field the same team twice, relying on two rookie halfbacks, yet we have managed get to third spot and in fact were leading at one point in the season.

I think we will struggle Sunday as I doubt James Graham will play as he's a major doubt.

That's perry, Graham, TP and Magennis all out. The halfback jinx has moved to our props.

We haven't won over there since 2007 so I guess we would struggle regardless of who is playing!

We are going to spank their bottoms and I won't hear of anybody saying anything less.

Matty B,
Please post carefully tonight , the scousers are not in a good mood.

Well that as they say is that.

There is very little point playing anyone who needs a rest. We can do no better, and would have to have a shocking last 3 games to do any worse than 3rd.

Seams a very wise move now, not to be playing big red this weekend. The only concern would be a drop off in intensity would be hard to pick up again come playoff week.

It's more than likely we are going to the Wire, so do we rest players till the last game or should they be back straight after the CC final.

Come on Pete who are the players who could do with a few weeks in the arm chair, Leon and clough will probably start every game to get match fitness up I imagine.
