So basically a one match ban then. Think we can all agree that's a fair trade for wiping the smug smirk from Connor's face.

While they would rather have Gale available, if he isn't they'll do what all the best coached sides do - use it as additional motivation and crack on without him.

The problem is our style of attack has both been an advantage and disadvantage over the years.

The improvised style, with some of the players we've had has been difficult to read, which has allowed us to score seemingly random off the cuff tries to win grand finals.

We still have some that can pull it off, but not as well.

Wigan to win the gf for me.

Correct. We might use flooded changing rooms as an excuse if we don't win the GF though...

not winning the GF because of flooded changing rooms would have been fine for us , but it was a case of almost getting relegated. Of course you had a perfectly legitimate excuse for getting relegated Wigan cheating the cap by signing a player oh and your playing them next too

Whilst I'm sure someone will reply saying we won't even make the GF so doesn't matter, which ends each set of fans are in at Old Trafford have already been decided.
