I think that's how it will be except Lauaki will be starting instead of Lima. Can't see Crosby or Spencer being included for this one unless Prescott suffers another setback, which you can never rule out.

Personally don't think that this is a massive blow.

Finch is obviously important to us but if our forwards win the battle up front we still stand a very good chance of winning - if the forwards get dominated then it won't matter who is in the half-back positions.

Warrington will need to play very well to beat us.

Wire undoubtedly are favorites without Finch on the field for us, I still think we can win but it will take a massive effort from all the lads. Our squad does posses the best player in super league by some distance so any thing can happen on the day.

I'd certainly make wire favourites now but hey ho, we can't do anything but give 100%. If we do that and respect the ball then we'll not be far off. Big game for Powell very early in his first team career. Triumph through adversity is always sweet! COME ON WIGAN!!!!

EVERY wigan player needs to have a big game on Sat to stand any chance of winning this one

Without Hansen and Finch, we're going to struggle. Still, much more important to have them fit for the playoffs.

It's a blow, but far from fatal. We'll be reet. As others have said it's still all down to how the pack perform.

I don't know whether I'd throw Prescott straight in though.

The forwards for either team will decide this one.

Regardless of Finch and H going on the injured list, we're in for a cracker.

Anyone know why HH is out?

He seemed fine on Friday?

Not another training ground accident is it?

I must admit I moaned that we rushed too many back too soon for the Leeds semi so this may be no bad thing.

We'll have a slightly stronger line up then we had last week against Hull which was a game we won by 38 points and it could have been a lot more.

Another Leeds or Saints away performance and more will be needed but why not?

Exactly. This one was never going to be easy and just got a little bit harder, but it's certainly not a foregone conclusion.

It's going to be backs against the wall stuff.

A champion team rises to the occasion. We've had injuries all year, so this shouldn't come as a surprise.

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing how we deal with this. It's money in the bank for our younger player's.
Getting them used to high intensity rugby will serve us well in the play off's.
