Wellens out as well, its gets even better. Did anybody really believe that Keiron Cunningham would get a ban. It happens every year, big names with big games coming up get off with no punishment.

Really?? I wonder if by some miracle they'll all have recovered for next week? Don't think Nathan Brown is likely to fall for these mind games that his ex-assistant, Mick Potter, is playing.

While i take your point I don't believe it is all mind games like previously, having seen the amount of kids we've had playing lately (another 5 last night not including Clough in only his second season).

I think Saints will still be without Long, Fa'asalvalu, Cayless, Wheeler - all who would have potentially played in the semi

I expect Roby and Hargreaves to play but if Bryn has had bad mumps he'll only be fit for about 30mins saying that injuries are no excuse for me, our team is still strong enough to compete, and if we didn't win it would be down to superior Giants play on the day rather than players missing.

I said when we 1st heard roby had broke his hand that he would play in the semi.

Hargreves will also play and I hear wheeler could also be fit.

Have you lot got any players out or due back?

Wild,Crabtree,Griffin will be back ,Raleigh is still out i think

Roby and Hargreaves are now likely to be back for the weekend, Wheeler another 2 to 3 weeks.
