I am still 50-50 whether we should risk Mullaney for this game. Most of us seem to be happy with a good performance this week and concentrate on the last two games. If so, how would we feel if we get beat and lose Mullaney to another tweek of his ham string.
I would have been tempted to sit him out with Gaskell and put all of my eggs in the Leigh, Fax and hopefully a trip to Wakey basket with a full team and the biggest kick up the aris team talk that Jimmy can muster.
At the start of the season I said I would be happy to play Wakey in a one-off game for promotion. I will still take that and see this weekend as a possible injury hurdle for our very few SL quality players. Play Wakey with a fit Gaskell and Mullaney and a massively gee'd up team and I still fancy our chance of an upset.

It's OK looking to the future but we've just three games left in the immediate future. I agree, everyone [including me] seems happy to see a good performance at the weekend but unless we go into the game intending to win we'll get stuffed again. We can't have a team which goes in with the fans' valiant defeat attitude; aim for the sky and you might hit the roof - aim for the roof and you'll fall back on your arris.
