Think it is 6 days

Two points bagged last night and would be a bit disappointed if we can't take the next four.
Would put us back bang in the mix.

That's my understanding.

.... otherwise Shaul wouldn't have played last night.

it's a league game worth 2 points, I really don't get the obsession with it, it's mindless.

If we don't try and big up events during the season, then as a sport, we'll never grow.
It's not just another game, let's be honest. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bloody important fixture in the Super League calendar!

McGuire went to hospital with his concussion so definitely out and hefferman has a history of concussion so again out of derby plus lawler leg and ankle break so I don't see any timely boosts for us Mrs B unfortunately whereas you will have Houghton and Paea back plus Kelly also you should win comfortably

Sure. Sheens said Heffernan was out long term after a game last year and he played the next weekend so the Triage of Doom is in full swing. As for timely boosts I see you have Lunt, Jewitt, Tickle, and a couple of others back. So Addy and Lawler apart conceivably full strength?

We start a thread most weekends about the upcoming game.

You forgot McGuire and hefferman won't play but your the queen of spin so I expect nothing less from you

We've had this with both before when McGuire "broke his leg" for Leeds and Heffernan was ruled out long term - both played the next week. Please keep up. Manu, Hadley (and Watts) missing "decimates" our pack of course, to use a Westmorlandism.

Just on the weather looks like the snow originally forecast for some parts won't be an issue at least.

the game is probably more important for you ,we are very likely to be in middle 8s come july so performance and attitude key rather than result ,a win would be a bonus but will not mean we don't finish in middle 8s, aloss for you could effect your top 4 ambitions , goals are different ,bragging rights and pride are the same, glad to have the derbies back win , lose, or draw

He's not definitely out.

I know what you mean it's like you saying about the St George game that you were that decimated by injuries that you would have to fly another team out to cover when in reality houghton and one other missed out let's face it you'll be at full strength no matter what crap your spouting

So Sika Manu, player of the year 2017, is definitely playing? I thought Houghton, Taylor and Minichiello were all top notch in that St George game.

Sorry you were missing 3 then hardly decimated

come derby day imo its who plays on the day, always 50/50

Apology acknowledged. Even less so for you if you're only missing Addy and Lawler then.

You can't seem to grasp that McGuire and Hefferman plus Kavanagh and Scruton also ruled out its funny when our coach says a player won't play you say they will and when your coach says a player will play you say they won't you should really be in politics

And you can't seem to grasp that no one's officially ruled in or out until kick off. Let's see..

I can't see Lawler recovering from a broken leg and dislocated ankle but I suppose we'll find out come kick off

it's not an event, it's just a 2 point game

What planet are you on? I’m pretty sure everyone is well aware it’s a two point game but like it or not, the fans, players and media are more invested in these derby games. It’s the same in all sports and it won’t change.

Derbies are more than a 2 point game they mean more to fans than other regular games or they wouldn't draw the best crowds the world over at various sports take a look at derby days on YouTube and tell me they don't mean anything

totally agree, always want to win the derby
