Given recent history we would obviously prefer to play Saints in the final.

Not entirely correct. Wigan lose tomorrow and they drop to third place with St Helens and Warrington in the top two.

What is the point in these odd fixtures this weekend when not all are playing? Just filling sky schedule?

Hull KR and Castleford games were called off due to positive COVID tests.
Catalans v St Helens was called off due to concerns in St Helens travelling to France when both countries are in lockdown.

There's no reason to call off Wakefield v Salford (a game being meaningless isn't a valid reason).

For the Catalan game. Self isolating

Hang on a minute, it's come to me. Fez, is he still at the club? Has the size, can he finally deliver in the front row. Even fur two 15 minute stints?
Would be a fairytale story......

Will this game be on sky? Not on their schedule.

Yes Hull on the Thursday and us on the Friday both on Sky.
Probably not on their schedule due to the fannying about with the fixtures.

Nice one cheers

What squad do we think we will run with? Guessing it will be the CC final squad with a replacement for Mellor (Cam smith?)

I think Thompson will be involved

Assuming Thompson starts for Mellor with Prior at LF we are left with A very light bench of Smith, Dwyer, Donaldson and ?

We may be able to get past Catalan, if we can Control the ball well. I think a few of their forwards can run out of gas quickly these days.

It’s hard to see us winning a semi final with no props on the bench.
