There is no way they are 100% fit, neither are any of the other guys who will play this weekend.

I can't see Austin playing but the others might. Hughes and ratchford most likely. Doesn't matter who we play if all we are going to do is the same as the last few weeks anyway.

Only the players and staff know the real situation.
WG doesn't but it's good to fill pages and speculate.

I was at Murrayfield in about 2002. I'm sure I'll get corrected...anyways I remember Kris Radlinksi being almost dead 24hrs before and like Lazerath arouse to play the match before returning as Lance Todd winner back to the high dependence unit.
I'm pretty sure Gary Connelly did it a couple of years ahead of that....thinkin further...Edwards was always touch and go before a challenge cup...

Wigan have done pretty well out of the guessing game.

Im pretty sure that unfortunately he wont play....

Which reminds me of the story of Lazarus, who was raised from the dead. Anyway, nice to know that this Lazerath chap woke up.

Taking the Guardian article at face value, his chances do seem slim. If Austin is out and Charnley fit I’m guessing that Ratchford moves to the halves and Mamo to fullback.

Ive heard about us going with 1 half and a 7th forward.....but if we do, we will get more rinsed than i thought we would in the first place!! Its forcast 25 degrees Saturday and the pitch temperature will be more, for me it isnt the way to go, then again, im not sure what is.

If Ratch to 6 is considered id rather see Thewlis at full back as oppossed to Mamo.

Its going to be a very interesting squad release on Thursday!!

I expect another 21 named team...or Austin not named in the 19 then does a Radlinski.
