Think Hull would struggle, if we go off squad numbers
that's you missing Shaul, houghton, Talanoua, Watts, Ellis, Abdul, Green and Hadley.

Our injuries would kill most teams but we will still be competative on Friday.

give over, wigan are fav in everbodys books, some on your site have already got final tickets booked, like the last semi

If the point you're trying to make is that Wigan have a deeper squad than most then I don't think you'll get much argument. That's one of the benefits of being at or near the top for so long. Wigan's recruitment and retention policy has also been top notch - Pearson and Radford have both mentioned it as a model they will be trying to emulate. We, on the other hand, are just coming out of a long period of mediocrity inspired by terrible recruitment and retention. You don't fix that overnight or even over a few seasons. So our squad, while being deeper than we've had for many a year, isn't as deep as yours.

Wigan are clear favourites for Friday night for this and a number of other reasons. Our players have played above and beyond the level expected of them this season and have finally run out of gas. It will take a fairly miraculous reversal of form for us to win.

Hate to say it but Wigan will have too much for us to handle even without Tomkins,lockers etc,the desire is there but I just feel we don't have much left in the tank to challenge Wigan for the full 80 mins,it would need a total reversal of recent form and I think it's too much

2nd in the league , 2 semi finals (at the very least) with the injury's Wigan have had to deal with this year the have done remarkably well . no other team would have done what they have done this with the same injury's . don't get me wrong they are boring as feck to watch watch but hats off to them tbf they've done it hard

Hopefully its comments kike this from the media, social mefia etc, that really fill the tank for the hull players, and really give them boring , dirty ducking cheating red and white ,
Phil clarke loving mother duckers a real good harding, will love it if the boys can pull this one off

if the players are deemed to be too tired, surely radders will give them less contact training

Heard tonight Talanoa out, both Ellis and Manu doubtful.

If they both pull through there is a chance Pritchard won't play.

Who will play on the wing if Talanoa is out?

naughton

Why?

If you mean Frank, dropped, not sure how true it is, but comes from someone who works and sponsors the club (same person)

Sounds a bit dodgy and very unprofessional, "if manu and ellis are fit, frank wont be playing" is that what your source is saying radford as shared with sponsors etc

He isn't just a sponsor, he is involved in match day and training.

Think the plan was to drop Frank, but might not happen if a couple are injured, seems pretty straight forward to me.

Guess we will have to wait and see, might not be true, I personally think it would be a mistake to drop Frank, but I don't see him in training.

It's not that bloke who stands around the touch line with the head phones on, talking to himself haha because them head phones are hooked up to fooook all, big sponsors sweetener to make him feel important haha
