I’d go-
Tomkins
Manfredi Gildart Sarginson Davies
Williams Leuluai
Navarette Powell Flower
Bateman Greenwood Lockers
Subs
Clubb Sutton Farrell Escare
Hamlin really unlucky to miss out and I’d feel pretty sad about that but what can you do.'"
Personally I'd swap Hamlin and Farrell - not sure how match fit Faz would be in game of such intensity.

Farrell is a machine fitness wise. If anyone will be fine it will be him and I really doubt he’ll have any issues.
I think Wane May leave out Escare but Farrell will be in.

| Four benched forwards would revert Wigan back to the clueless in attack period, they need options.

| Cas have a huge pack so there’s two ways of looking at it. One is you go with four forwards to try and match it but on the other hand you could try and match it with just three bench forwards and then run Escare at the big men as they tire.
I personally think Escare has done enough these past few weeks to warrent a spot. We have second rowers who do huge minutes so we can afford to fit him on the bench and use him in a tight game to try and crack things open.

| Major doubts on Shenton and junior moors for us, the latter would be a brutal blow as he's been back to his best during the 8s.
I think this will be a game too far for us, wigan the form side with so much emotion of players and coach leaving not to mention what sargy has been through, peaking at the right time, think you'll win 22 12 or something

| So we look in a bad place.
Shenton touch and go
Eden not fit but expected to play
Moors not expected to play
McMeekan expected to play but not fit
Young Trueman broke his hand. (was a rumour at first but seen accepting his award tonight with a pot on his hand)
I would expect us to line up:
Peter Matuatia
Greg Eden/James Clare
Michael Shenton/Joe Wardle
Jake Webster
Greg Minikin
Ben Roberts
Luke Gale
Liam Watts
Paul McShane
Grant Millington
Mike McMeekan
Joe Wardle/Oliver Holmes
Nathan Massey
Jesse Sene Lefao
Mitch Clark
Adam Milner
Oliver Holmes/QLT

Even with men out it still looks a strong side, I’m certainly not writing you lot off.

Cas fans seem to be painting this horrendous injury picture yet Powell said Shenton will be fine and by the sounds of it you seem to just have doubts over Moors and Trueman. The Cas squad depth is brilliant and with guys like Roberts and Oliver Holmes ready to go its hardly worth mentioning. At this stage of the season of we’re talking about players not being fully fit yet playing, you could probably find ten on either side.
Enjoy the game.

| ^^ I agree, most players this time of year are playing with some kind of knock/not 100% fit. It's a real shame for Trueman, who has shown maturity well beyond his years this season, but Roberts can just step straight in at 6 so no problem there. Moors has been fantastic lately, but if he's out we have cover. Like you say, we have a decent squad depth this year. It's a squad that wins championships, not 17. I think we've done fantastic this year with what we've been through injury wise, no fullback etc.., and I genuinely believe its been a more impressive year for us than last year because of it. Friday may just be a bridge too far for us, however anything can happen in a knock out game. Whatever happens, it should be a cracker of a game though and I'm looking forward to it. Heres hoping both sides put in a performance and show the TV audiences what this sport can be. See you all Friday, and may the best team win!

| According to our website, Truemans cast is protective and they are hoping he'll be OK to play. A lot of silly mind games/rumours flying around at the moment me thinks!
'19-year old Jake Trueman bagged two awards after his amazing 2018 season, which has seen him included in the England Knights Elite Performance Squad. Sporting a protective cast on his hand which the Tigers staff are hopefully won’t keep the half back out of the Semi-Final, Trueman picked up Young Player of the Year and 2nd Place Player of the Year.'

Bad place? A couple of players sidelined and a couple of players playing with knocks like most clubs at this time of the season.
Stop with the melodramatic bilge.

| We've had injuries all season, even with a few knocks we're in a much better position than we have been. Also up to 4,000 tickets sold with 500 remaining. Should be a good atmosphere.
