billy hills are giving cas a 12 point start for fridays match...question is will cas have one or both eyes on wembley..either way im surprised by the handicap

We really need to know who TS will play in the halves.
If Myler is on there it is about right.
If R&B are back together, we'll paste them. 30-40+

Time for TS to play Bridge and Ratch together.

Cas will have their eyes on the cup for sure and even if we beat them they'll still be ahead on PD. I wouldn't be surprised if they rested a few key players as to them they can afford to lose this game.

[Placing head on block, kneeling and ruefully eyeing the poised blade]

I expect a Wire backlash. Bridge & Ratch in harness, Laithwaite back in & Asotasi out (please), Myler in limbo.

Unless they lose by 27+

I'm not surprised.
We definitely have both eyes firmly on wembley because we only normally get there once a generation and it's seriously a fantastic opportunity to win something as well as the day out at wembley.
However, I'm really concerned about Friday because the week after we beat Wigan in the QF we went back there in the league with half the team rested and got absolutely mullered. It took us weeks to recover from that hammering. I'd love to put the whole squad in cotton wool for wembley but I fear that if we rest too many players wire will tear us apart, the bookies obviously agree ..

Is that all it is? I thought it was more!

if smith does put ratch and bridge at HB, like we all think he should, then is it an admission that he got it wrong against leeds?

i dont think he is like that... im expecting myler and ratchford again in the halves again.

Well it's twice that, but obviously it counts double this weekend. Though I miscounted-we need to win by 28

not daft these bookies..the handicap has gone to a 22 point start...

wire massively odds on

With Dorn Dixon Carney shenton Webster sneyd Clark huby millington Boyle all missing and a possibility of 3 lads from the u19s making their debut, me thinks sky may regret picking this one.

Lets not be counting chickens, with our indifferent form this could still easily bite us in the bsck side.then again that +12 we was giving earlier on could look real good now.

Ive put a fiver on warrington -22

We need to take a long hard look at ourselves if we don't win this by 20+.
