That means we have less than 1,000 going at the moment. Got our £10 tickets as soon as they came out, thought we'd take 2,000 to this, that said it's on Sky and the team is pretty depleted and to win would be a massive ask, althought Bulls managed it a few weeks back.

we didnt even take that to kr did we??

His favourite........"they are not utilising the dummy runner".

We have 5 games left and I think we need to play the percentages here. Some of them are winnable and some are not. This is the least winnable with our present depleted squad.

We should concentrate our efforts on those matches which are winnable.

I would be inclined to write this one off and would not risk any of our key players who are not 100% fit as we will need them for the rest of the run in and the play offs.

and that approach has undone many a team in the past, you're only as good as your last game, we go to Wigan TO WIN or we may as well not bother.

And not only lose but get badly beaten up and lose key players for the rest of the season too?

it has happened before, approach every game to win, if you get beaten by a better side then fair enough, but never approach a game with anything less than 100% comittment.

I agree that the players who are selected should try to win but don't think we should play anyone who is not 100% fit (if we can avoid it).

I tend to agree, although this was covered on RH interview yesterday, Gollum asked Gentle about this and he basically said most of the players are carrying some form of knock but at this stage of the season he will basically play any-one who puts their hands up.

Personally I agree with you and I think we should be on the percentages game now and look to rest a few for the following week, yes anything can happen at Wigan but it is unlikely and at what cost ?

Favourite match-ups:

Lauaki vs Ogre anyone?

What's your likely 17 to be?
Powell is a stand off but can play either half back position.
Wigan have Warrington the week after you so O'Loughlin may not be risked.
Having said that don't be surprised if he's in the 17.

You pick your best 17 for the game and play for the win. All players will want to play against one of the best teams in the competition, players do not want resting nor should they be. Consistency should be strived for.

Something like:

Briscoe
Lineham
Turner
Yeaman
Foster
McGoldrick
Hereamaia
Ogre
Houghton
Lynch
Manu
Westerman
Whiting

Pitts
Aspinwall
Watts
Nicklas

Child is the Ref for this one. Really wish I hadn't already bought my ticket now.
