I really hope you're right mate. We're so close at times to taking it to the next level. How nice would it be for SKY to have to talk about us the same way they do about Leeds, Wigan & Saints.

Conspiracy theory, I know, but I think Sky want Wigan up there, Phil Clark

probably put his oar in for this game being moved to tonight, to aid and abet their push. Whistling X Files tune

When you read of players from other clubs taking mini breaks in Portugal, it make you wonder whether the odds are stacked against us.

Clarkey Carney Baz & Tez. Sky’s finest and all played for Wigan

Who said that?

Certainly a huge advantage for Wigan. If we had 8 days advantage on them it would be a "no excuses" position.

No Paea or Bowden

Green in for Paea, Masi for Bowden.

Besides that it's the same team. Connor on bench again.

Plenty of times we have had a longer than usual break and been poop.
More concerned about the team with Connor once again on the bench with Fash,masi and Ellis
Its too lightweight with the starting second rows

It will be more lightweight than we'd want with Paea, Bowden, Manu and Savelio all unavailable against the reigning champions, I agree. The 8 day turnaround advantage is just the icing on their pre match cake unfortunately.

why dont we put pressure on teams and make them work instead of taking two points
gets some kicks into the in goal and turn them round
We are just so predictable with a kick to the corner
