Rouges, if R.Evans plays i'd give Charnley a head start and still be confident he'd be caught.

How did he do in the U20s?

Our bad luck with injuries could nto have come at a worst time. From what I can figure next week we are likely to be without:

Morley - at least 2 weeks away
Solomona - the club has been quiet on why he missed Harlequins but I believe he's gone for the season.
Myler and King - both had to stay overnight in London due to head injuries and must therefore be a doubt for next week
Atkins - asked to play with his knee strapped-up yesterday to see if it could last 80 minutes. Broke down and therefore will now have the op this week to be ready for next season
Cooper - told that cut must heal before doctor will give the ok to play again - probably another two weeks
Harrison - pulled-up during warm-up yesterday and looks like his harmstring will keep him out three weeks
Riley - harmstring injury keeping out of the u20s even

I reckon we could line-up as follows and even if we win few if any of the above will be back for the semi:

1) Hodgson
2) Monaghan
3) Bridge
4) Blythe
5) Williams
6) Briers
7) Clarke
Carvell
9) Monaghan
10) Wood
11) Anderson
12) Westwood
13) Grix

14) Higham
15) McCarthy
16) Evans
17) Evans

Big risk with the two Evans on teh bench having only just returned from injury maybe Mitchell to get re-called from Harlequins and to be interchange prop - did he play in the cup for Quins?

Its going to take an Hercuulian effort to be beat Wigan missing nearly half of our team.

nice one Paul; keep reeling them in!!!

Not so bad, the weather made it more of a forwards game, plenty of spilt ball, the first half i think Wire could have scored 4 on the right and dropped the ball with the line beckoning.
He'll raise his game in the first team.

Lets hope Maguire reads this & works his game plan out on this basis

Re: next week : Sun Jul 17, 2011 3:18 pm  

Speaking of the weather, we must be due a dry home game. I'm getting fed up of all this rain. The game on Saturday deserves perfect conditions as well instead of being ruined by the British summer.

The same Gary Schofield that said Leeds would batter us at Wembley last year only to talk utter tosh at half time about how good Warrington were and if Leeds dont get a grip this Warrington side will cut loose. PRATT

That's a pretty accurate half-time analysis, to be fair - it's more or less what happened in the second half.

Don't hold your breath for the GF. I would wager whoever wins on Saturday will get to the CC Final at the very least, which will put paid to their GF prospects.

Why is there this belief that the double can't be done? It wouldn't surprise me if either Wigan or Warrington managed it this season.

I'm sure he's on glue or something

RG, I am willing to have a little wager with you on Saturdays game.

We win then you buy me a pint at O/T in October.

You win then I buy you a pint at the same venue same time.

Fancy a bet?
