Dont care about the result. 80 minutes of wembley songs and gloating.

Madness. Would understand if you were clear inside the top 8, but this loss, and maybe a loss straight after the cup could result in a 9th place finish. AND if you did lose the final. Thats nothing but a ruddy marvelous hang over from 2009... yes I know there is always "Next year" ...we heard that one before.

We could lose every game and I wouldn't care that much. Of course I want to win, but it's not going to matter on friday. One thing matters, and that is, WE'RE GOING TO WEMBLEY!!!

Really disappointed with our injury list.
I assume they are all legit (unlike some other clubs who have a rash of injuries in the week before the CC final).
King's hamstring is a concern - that could be weeks...... maybe it's not too serious.
Harrison was always going to be doubtful.
Hicks's finger was a suprise....... unclear what the issue is.
and with Carvell out too, can't say I'm suprised we bring back Steve P.

Anybody any idea how close grix is to coming back - the others are all known long term casualties.

Can't say I fancy our chance much.....

Gotya.

It's a must win game in my book. The play-offs are still important, we need to build up a winning run and some players need to play for their final places.

Correct.

How good would a double pie win be? it might just tip them over the edge of bitterness

Come on Wire.

Amazing to see that supporters of teams not in the final now claiming that the league fixtures are far more important. Who'd have guessed?

I'm being pampered in Hospitality, so will have my P&B Tie on to annoy our Pie-Eyed friends.

Impossible..... they dived over that cliff last Saturday at 4.20pm.

Well its all thats left for poor old Wigan.

Playoff places too valuable for us not to be busting a gut to win all our remaining matches. It's fair to say that it will hurt a bit less if we lose owing to the 'comfort' of having won in the semi last week, but I'm sure Smith will have the team all-out. Plus, there's still a chance to play yourself into the Wembley 17 for those coming ito Friday's side.

hicks had the sais knackered finger b4 the semi

I to hope we beat the pies on friday but to be honest i am now a very happy chappy this season due to our forthcoming trip to Wembley.(god knows how i will feel when we win)

I have heard that there will be a possible suspected outbreak of swine flu for the next couple of weeks in and around the HJ (there are genuinely signs saying it is an antiviral collection point outside the main entrance - maybe this is in case the RFL turn up to check ), that may do the trick as a good excuse to wrap the boys in cotton wool.

The danger is that injuries are suffered when players go into tackles half hearted.

Come on the mighty wire.
