Our form in recent weeks in terms of results have been great but it's a knockout game against a good cas team.I know from a mate of mine wigan set the cup as priority to win in preseason so what's our thoughts on team selection and injured players comming back?

strongest team available.......whatever that will be

No brainer really. Strongest possible 17 v Cas. They'll want to win it but after the manner in which we beat them on the small pitch at the Jungle I don't think they'll fancy their chances as much as they would if they'd got the win. After recent results against them, that win has got a big monkey off our backs and we should be favourites for this one.

Wane said after the Widnes game that Tomkins x2, Sarginson and Lockers will be fit. I think we can assume Gelling is out and fingers crossed Williams was just precautionary. If so we should line up something like-

Tomkins
Manfredi Sarginson Gildart Charnley
Williams Smith
Crosby Powell Flower
Tomkins Isa Lockers

Tautai Mossop Sutton Burke

We'd still be missing some big players but no excuses really, that's a decent side. I'd potentially consider Shorrocks on the bench for Burke to cover the halves and Powell.

I think I'd like to see Sutton at second row again tbh. Isa or Joel coming off the bench.

I'd have Sutton off the bench. I really like this lad and if he keeps his head down and works hard he has great potential.

He's been superb there hasn't he. I just think he'll add a bit more impact then the other two. They can do the early donkey work and let him come on fresh part way through.

Would be nice to see Shorrocks again

I doubt it though, if Williams is fit he will play. Shorrocks time will come but I am not sure playing him in such a pressure game would be wise anyway (unless there is no other option).

Gale in a leg brace today, can't see him back for next week.

IMO the top four sides in SL as they currently stand will not change come round 30

So the worst case scenario for each of the top four sides that are also currently still in the Challenge Cup is that they will get an away semi final in order to make the Grand Final, Therefor I would imagine that each of these clubs would settle for that would they not?

The Challenge cup final is a fantastic show piece event which is watched by millions on terrestrial tv and is also one of the only three trophies available to win each season, So i believe that clubs currently in the top four can put the SL on the back burner and really give the CC Competition a real go

I'm going for a last four of
Huddersfield Giants
Warrington Wolves
Hull FC
Wigan Warriors

Wakefield
Warrington
Hull
Cas

If England win their Euro 2016 game tonight, they will be playing their next game at 5pm on Saturday. Probably explains why only a handful of seats have been sold so far, even with the ST discount.

It's a crazy situation.

If the football does end up being on Saturday I doubt we'll push much above 5k.

And we will now be without Ben Flower who's been charged with a grade C tackle. Certain ban coming up!
