Ok fair point. Now I re-read it I see what you are saying.
I thought they were just trying to say it was a bigger task than normal as they really need to win it. There is no chance of them doing a Catalan so for us to win w'll have to be on top of our best form pre-injuries.
We may well win, but the odds are against us.

Squad just about sums season up going into penultimate game lacking Johnstone , tupou , fafita , ashurst , annikin batchelor with chubs retired baldwinson gone , and Atkins either injured or unavailable

Let’s hope we get hot on the day

Presumably crowther in for batch , arundel in for tupou king for annikin suppose big question is does kershaw play and if so how do we accommodate Hampshire

We are missing Fifita as well (sorry pet hate of mine, see my signature).

I'll get my coat

BJB was struggling with a hamstring injury prior to the wigan game, maybe the short turnaround has put him in some doubt? If he isn't 100% he shouldn't play, we can't afford to lose him mid-game and for a possible decider next week if results don't go well. Same goes for any other player as well really.

To add to our injurys warrington are at full strength including austin.dont wsnt to sound pessimistic but need to shout for hull kr

Yes agree realistically it’s now all about London unless hull kr beat them tomorrow

Fair to say that Wire will give us a towelling - so it becomes very much about how other results pan out; and with a bit of luck, we won't be having a faux million pound match with London in the final round...

You've also missed the man I think we've missed more than anyone which is Arona. He isn't flashy but he gets the job done every time and losing him against Hudds was where the wheels finally fell off IMO.

Agreed

I agree.
The great loss is Tom, Tupou, Fifita, Ashurst and Arona.
Add Miller and Brough injuries part way through and that is a massive gap.

Why have we not had any further update regarding Atkins. Why would we take on a player we know is not going to play or are we just waiting for the London game. We did the same with Grix who was never fit enough to play, yet we took him on.
I know Atkins is with us next season but why invest money now if he can’t play.

Are we doing Warrington a favour again ?
If so, maybe they will let us win or, at least go easy on us.

If only

I honestly think some people sit at home wracking their brains trying to think of something....anything, to chelp about.
I think its great we have Ryan Atkins at our club whether he can play or not.
The cost is, well who cares, you don't know and I don't care, so what are you twittering about, the people controlling the purse strings are perfectly competent, if you don't think they are then you'd better say so or stfu.

I think it's a perfectly reasonable question myself. I didn't read it as chelping as much as wondering why we have signed an injured player to add to our list of injured players, when it looks like he won't play (maybe v London hopefully)and if we have the money for that, is it not better spent on someone who can. I think MC has done a great job but I don't think it stops us asking reasonable questions on a forum
