I think fans' loyalty is stretched but the fact that its the last time for Mint and Carlos will persuade a lot of fans to make the effort and show up.

I'm just hoping other results mean Beaumont's relying on us beating Catalans to secure Leigh a playoff spot. Makes it a win-win situation for us. We pull off a win and will likely avoid the wooden spoon. We lose and Beaumont's going to have the meltdown of all meltdowns.

You'd hope we have Carlos, Briscoe, Sao and Cartwright back.

It's the only reason I'm going!

will anyone stay until the end to wave goodbye if we ship another 50 points? Will the owner be home by then?

I think they should do what the Aussies do when a player reaches a certain milestone or retires. Let them both come out together with their families, the rest of the team and a selection of ex-team mates forming a guard of honour. I'm not really one for the families before the game malarky because I think it could be a distraction but in this instance we have nothing to play for and know we are going to get massacred. I think it would be a fitting tribute to the last of the immortals and a poignant reminder of our short lived glory era. The alternative is for them walking around the pitch at the end before an empty stadium. That would be embarrassing and they deserve better than that!

Re the title and If we are drawing historical analogies for me and thousands of others it will be more akin to the relief of Mafeking because if Mafeking was relieved, it won't be half as much as we all are, come the final hooter. Indeed with our constant tooing and froing to the high court with Deggsie, Jordans enrolment at Slimming World and our new coach digging an escape tunnel back to the airport, its going to be a long cold winter before our first pre season game against Goole Vikings

Maybe grix will quote some Shakespeare Henry V before the game in a rallying war cry? Hopefully abdul plays for them and herman runs him ragged

He's bigger than Herman at the minute, might knock him over

Houghton and Carlos should only play if they are fit, they shouldn't be played just for sentiment. We don't want to be two subs down early on.

Warrington only need to win by 16 against London and while I can't imagine they will take their foot off the gas completely, I also don't see them posting as big a score as they did at Huddersfield. Does give us a bit of an advantage to know what score we can lose by and not be bottom, though can't understand why our game was picked to be moved as the only one on Saturday

Herman is mobile though

Think Charles is playing at full back for the academy tonight, so may be not included for the first team at weekend.

I hope you're right. The poor kid has been flogged to death and is nowhere near ready for this level week in, week out.

Played 17 games this year, which is far too much, let down by the club, should have brought in a more experienced half once Reynolds left.
