I would have Watkins would start and gibson drop out. Looking forward to few head to head battles. Puletua Vs Ali Lau and Cunningham Vs Buderus especially.

You may to have to change your sig though...

Why ???

Cos if we lose it won't be our year anymore? You can't be THAT confident of us winning at the weekend. It's probably 70:30 in favour of Leeds due mainly to home advantage and absence of Slong.

It's not been mentioned, Mick Potter isn't the media whore that Millward was, even Daniel Anderson was more vocal in the press.

In the RL press today it says that Long and Roby are coming back for Sunday but Wellens is out for 3 to 4 weeks, Armstrong, Wheeler, Pryce and Cunningham all picked up 'knocks' on Friday. So I don't know about anyone else but I haven't got a clue who is going to be playing on Sunday!

Shall we just send out the reserves/academy and strike it up as preparation for future glory years?

Wellens out for 3 to 4 weeks? I thought he was going to play on until after Easter and then have an op? Seems strange.

If he does miss out, I wonder if we'll move Pryce to full back with Roby starting at 6 - Pryce defending at Full back, Roby defending at 6, with both of them attacking in their usual positions?

If Long misses out I feel we'll struggle.

I think the others will be risked and then we'll face the consequences after the game. It's do or die this Sunday, we have to take some risks.

I wouldn't hesitate to put Lomax in at FB again, the added pace may actually improve us.

If Long is out then I'd be putting Wheeler in there again with Pryce at 6. If Wheeler is out as well then Wilkin in at 7 for me.

Having seen Lomax I don't see the point moving Pryce, particularly if Long doesn't play.

Play them all, they've got about 5 months to recover anyway.

Yes, I thought so too. But that's what it says in League Weekly anyway (Or was it the other one? I get them confused).


Unfortunately, it also said in the same article that Pryce picked up a groin strain. I did see him go to the dugout and get attention at the end of the match on Friday (to the chorus of 'going down' I believe it was).

Ironically, Long is supposed to be coming back, with Roby, according to the article.

I guess it is just going to be anybody's guess until whenever Potter releases the team. I can't see the Saints club suddenly forwarding useful info on injuries, can you? They don't tend to do that kind of thing, do they?

As I said, I think they'll all play. This is our biggest game of the year so far. If we want to retain the cup, the players will have to put their hand and play through the pain barrier. I'm sure they will aswell.

Agreed I think we'll see any Saints player not with a serious injury playing this weekend.
