pitts in really good form at the moment and arundel has impressed in last few games, hope he makes it but there was a thought he had injured his hand or wrist rather than finger

What time do the betting shops close?

tickle came out to shake the salford players' hands then ran along the half way to the FC players and waved to the crowd and gave a thumbs up, looked absolutely fine

Yeamos fine.

How do you know? Just got home from the game - keeping fingers crossed!

I don't know why, but I really feel that Lineham will play next week. He looked in a far better way than yeaman did when leaving the field. Hoping for mind games!!

Just seen Arundle at HRI, his hand is very swollen and he thinks he may have fractured a bone in his hand, he was just heading of for x-ray when i spoke with him, said he'd do everything he can to make sure he plays!

Sounds like we might need to block book the hyperbaric chamber at Spire Health. Problem is, it only seats seven

So if none of the players make it, it could be Horne & Whiting in the centres. If Lineham makes it, we have the option of Crookes in the centres.

Going to be a long old week of speculation. I think we should expect the following to be missing:
McDonnell
Lineham
Crooks
Arundel
Yeaman
Horne
Tickle
Galea

Ie all our first choice back line barring Briscoe. Anything else will be treated as a timely boost.

If Tickle makes it, our forwards are probably full strength. If Horne makes it, our halves are full strength. It's the lack of firepower and robust defence gains Wigan's superb backs that's the issue. Hopefully Gentle will have certainty early, one way or another, to get a decent gameplan together.

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be.
We're going to Wembley
Que sera, sera.

Yeaman looked bad initially, as soon as he went down he was in pain and as someone earlier said winced again when the physio checked him over. However I thought he walked off pretty well he was putting pressure down on both feet, he was assisted off not carried off. So hopefully not as bad as first feared.

heard Tickle was just a dead leg, he'll be fine

and Arundal went for Xrays as a precaution after a finger dislocation

Was sat in the West Stand near to where the Physio was tending to Arundel. He had three goes at putting Arundels finger back in.

At no point did Arundel look happy about the situation, suggesting that his finger never went back into its place correctly or there is some nerve damage.

If had been a thumb I think he would be put of next week. As its a finger I think he will have a chance.

Think the team could very well be, shaul, lineham, arundel, yeaman/whiting, briscoe, holdsworth, miller, omeley, houghton, watts, ellis, tickle, westerman, subs: heremaia, lynch, pitts, whiting/green if yeamo fit This is very likely dont be suprised either.
