Richie Mathers has just been on BBC Radio Manchester and said Monas had a calf strain earlier in the week and missed the odd session but trained as normal today and is fit to play.

I hope he's right!

Mind games, methinks.

Here's hoping!

Wouldn't that only work if Richie Mathers kept his gob shut?

Or maybe he is out and Richie was told to say that.

Find out at 7:30 tomorrow big blow if he is.

Just on guardian web site NO Monas 2morw nite picked up an injury in training no further details

BIG BIG blow

It has not been confirmed.

Gutted. He has been involved in all that has been good for Warrington this season. Hope its not a long term injury.

Already on about 2/3 posts underneath.

Leeds by 190 now....

I did see Mylar, Monas and another that I didnt recognise walking the length of the pool at total fitness yesterday, kinda leads me to believe there is a problem as it is low impact and obviously mylar is doing that cos of his injury.

take from it what you will, just letting you all know.

Solo back up hooker ?

I'd start with Higham but would have Vinnie on the bench as he has done the cover well, if Higham struggles.

Quote ="pocket*trout"Clarke is on his way back pretty soon. He will make a better back up than Higham. www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/wol ... s/?ref=rss'" says who ,you .not a clue fellow have ya

higham wont struggle ,but vinnie on bench to rest him after his 50 tackel stint as per ,shame defenders dont get noticed

Jon Clarke is rock solid in defence but people never seem to notice that part of his game.

yes your right ,one of the best 3rd men in defenders i have every seen .you need maybe to take up some other sport

stupid you are son shine ,if you think clarke is a good defender you realy need go and sort your ichy head right out ,he drops on 3rd man if your very lucky

A fit Clarke is twice the hooker Higham could ever be. He has a much better passing, kicking and tackling game than Higham, and is less error and penalty prone.

it didn't take Smith long to relegate Higham to bench hooker did it.

Too right, I don't like Higham, definately number 3 in the camp at hooker and the news I've heard from the HJ is that Monas is out. Big blow maybe, but we have the squad to cope. No choice but Higham in at 9, I just think he lacks direction... KR away perfect example. Would not have him play 80 or we stand no chance! Vinnie backup is a good call, definately rotate. Think TS will move Bridge to 6, King centre, Riley back on the wing, Higham in at 9 with Harrison moving to 13 and Wood in at 10. Coops and Tyke filling the bench. Rest the same as last week. C'mon the Wire! ISWT!!!

Bridge to 7 sorry, typo error.

source please

what a pile ov ,bitter and twisted cos sold for that fat waste .smith hates higham ,thats why hes just offerd a new deal dick head

I see we have even more mature people joining the Warrington board. Woohoo!

no a new right one ,not a old one with the same old crap
