So here we are again.

A lot rests on whether QLT gets away without a ban, IMO. He has been vital to everything we've done this season and it will be a cruel twist of fate if he's banned. If he's available I think we've got a chance - at least.

Looks like Joe Hirst will be missing which will also be a big loss, but Dane can fill in at 13 and Szostak can go back into the second row.

I'm not going to predict a score, because I've no idea how it will go.

Att: 6225 (6200 Fev fans, obviously)

EEEEEEEEEEAGLES!!!!

1-0 to the Red and Gold Wizards - After Extra Time.

Being serious, we need to play better than we did last night to stand a chance.

Looking at the pictures he's uploaded to Twitter there's more chance of Darren Lockyer playing for us in the final than Joe Hirst.

Yeah, that injury disrupted Tubbs' substitution options last night.

Joe's got three breaks in that jaw but he should be good for next season.

Well if you're going to break it you might as well do it in style...

Seriously though that sounds flipping painful and i'm guessing it'll be mushy food for a while. Such a shame because he's been great for us. Get well soon Joe.

and QLT. What d'ya reckon?

Wish he played for Leigh.

I think he'll get a caution tbh.

Trying to look at it objectively, I've watched it back and I think he'll be ok.

His disciplinary record is exemplary, and as much as they said it was a high shot on the tv, I don't think it was. It was late, no doubt, but I think his record will work in his favour and he'll be allowed to enter an early guilty plea.

Saying that, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he did get banned, and I wouldn't fancy our chances in the final without him.

I know I'm in a minority at Fev but I agree 100%

Q said McNally ran at him.

Still not had a chance to view the tv though.

I know it would have been better if it never happened,but if he does get off it would give us a massive boost before we start the game,I fear if out it will be a bit of an uphill task but on the otherhand we have options with Nev & Vinny,Whatever the outcome we can only try our best and if we win we win,if we dont we dont,Carryon regardless.

Then av a gander at the telly then richie boy!
Ran at him??? Never in this whole wide world. He was about a week late with the tackle, BUT, he didn't hit him high IMO. He hits him high on the abdomen which because Mc Nally had relaxed, the force of the hit sent his head back. Caution/0-1 with a get out of jail card played for an early plea. About right IMO.

Added to that is the little caviat of McNally doing the starfish impression afterwards. I'm not saying that the force of the hit didn't shake him, it did. I've always had a soft spot for the Leigh club but but he's one player who feigns injury, pretends to be hit falling to the floor like a sack of coal. That sheeite belongs in soccer NOT in rugby league. Kainy threatend to really give him a winder at their gaffe for reckoning on to the ref Kainy had clobbered him. Fortunately the ref that day didn't fall for it.

QLT cleared to play.

Get in!

was it ever in doubt,,,,,,,,
