noticed turgot didn't play for the u23s is he injured or perhaps being considered for friday?

Can't believe this thread had dropped to page two, let's hope the players haven't forgotten we have a very important match this week!!

Has Feka played recently?

He was injured for a bit

So same squad as last week then.

I would be shocked if there are no changes to the 17 from the semi final

In the first half of the season we used the most number of players. Second half we seem to only need 20.

8 to 10 games to go. Is player burnout something we should begin to worry about?

According to FC website. Abdul to stand off, Carlos to centre?

The pleasures of a settled injury free team. Excellent work by conditioning team and cryo. Enthusiasm can carry you on to further limits plus team spirit is massive, everyone wants to play.

looks like we're going for the next 2 games and then rest some players before Wembley. It's important to keep the momentum otherwise we could easily go into the final with 3 losses behind us. We need to target our games and hopefully rotate where needed and fingers crossed avoid injuries to key players. What a great situation to be in.

fingers crossed that Saints can get a result tonight and we can scrape a win against Cas. Then we would be 3 clear of Wire and 2 ahead of Wigan (if they beat Wakey)

I cannot see us losing against Widnes, the players definitely have a point to prove in that game. We could in theory afford to lose to Catalans and Saints (the week after the final) if we win the next 2, as then we can still beat Wire and Wigan to keep ahead of them

He's just playing his strongest team as we know it's business end now, & your best 17 needs to be picked, they are gelling well & keeping match fit, Hatts is doing a great job with them keeping them fresh week by week.

Fair play, cant argue with that, just keeping everything crossed that ellis and snyed stay clear of injury

Tough game this one. they've already beaten us in one game and scored more tries than us in the other so will take a massive performance to win it but would be a huge 2 points for us if we do win. 4 points from this and widnes would allow us to rest some bodies against les cats

Really, the RFL should have organised the fixtures so the 4 semi finalists played each other this week so there is no unfair advantage. wire had a fairly easy game against wakey so should be OK and wigan have a guaranteed 2 points against wakey but we had a massive physical and emotional game and have to back it up against a fresh team. Should have been wigan v wire and wakey v us this week
