Not a chance mate, if their fit they'll play, this fixture means alot to wire fans

i can see where you are coming from i think we will be more wary of knocks than the pies, having got the harder game

Naahh man, dis match is gunna b maasssssiveee innit.

Both sides will field their strongest available team without a doubt, no holding back for this derby!

And the pies.

Isn't it.

i agree on fielding a strong side but this is one of the best chance of a trophy for a number of years who knows?????

Both teams will field the strongest sides they possibly can.

As I put on the reserve and academy thread I'm expecting three great games this weekend.

All three levels at both clubs are playing reasonably well at the moment..

Should be "fun"

The Wigan v HKR game was a bruiser and Wigan finished up with no available subs, so I'm expecting a couple of changes at least.

They will be going all out for this one without doubt.

It's no ggod putting all your eggs in one basket (the Cup), as if you lose that one game, then your season is then over if you have sacrificed league games.

We are only a couple of wins behind Wakefield, Cas and Hull, and we are in better form than all of those teams.

If we win on Friday, then we will be level with Wigan and have a game in hand over them.

I thought last Saturday's game, and this Friday's were crucial for us, they are make-or-break for our season IMO.

Im getting very excited about this game, I wish it was Friday today

The robert earnshaw of rugby league..

Chill Dave T.

Lets just go with the flow and see where we end up.

I can see Tony Smith taking us on an unbelievable journey in both the league and cup, lets not put ourselves under any pressure by making statements like the one above.

Got mine today was served by a lovely looking young women, looking forward to Friday seems an age since we last played at the HJ.
