I'm being pampered in Hospitality, so will have my P&B Tie on to annoy our Pie-Eyed friends.

Amazing to see that supporters of teams not in the final now claiming that the league fixtures are far more important. Who'd have guessed?

Well its all thats left for poor old Wigan.

Playoff places too valuable for us not to be busting a gut to win all our remaining matches. It's fair to say that it will hurt a bit less if we lose owing to the 'comfort' of having won in the semi last week, but I'm sure Smith will have the team all-out. Plus, there's still a chance to play yourself into the Wembley 17 for those coming ito Friday's side.

Really disappointed with our injury list.
I assume they are all legit (unlike some other clubs who have a rash of injuries in the week before the CC final).
King's hamstring is a concern - that could be weeks...... maybe it's not too serious.
Harrison was always going to be doubtful.
Hicks's finger was a suprise....... unclear what the issue is.
and with Carvell out too, can't say I'm suprised we bring back Steve P.

Anybody any idea how close grix is to coming back - the others are all known long term casualties.

Can't say I fancy our chance much.....

hicks had the sais knackered finger b4 the semi

I to hope we beat the pies on friday but to be honest i am now a very happy chappy this season due to our forthcoming trip to Wembley.(god knows how i will feel when we win)

I have heard that there will be a possible suspected outbreak of swine flu for the next couple of weeks in and around the HJ (there are genuinely signs saying it is an antiviral collection point outside the main entrance - maybe this is in case the RFL turn up to check ), that may do the trick as a good excuse to wrap the boys in cotton wool.

The danger is that injuries are suffered when players go into tackles half hearted.

Come on the mighty wire.
