Has Grix been dropped?

He didn't play last week. Didn't you know?

He was dropped the match after Saints away in August though? Currie and England have been dropped for Friday as well.

I can't stress how much of a must-win this is now. The last few games have been too but this is getting dangerously close. We'll be extremely lucky to stay in the top 8..

Relax

Wire will win and win easy. The nail has been bent.

Ouch!!..Getting close to playing you twice this season....

This is a MUST WIN and TS must know this, even though he is playing it down in the Guardian.

If we can scrape a win this week we should start getting a lot of the injured players back the week after. Fingers crossed.

Need to win. Failure to do so and fourth really is out of our grasp IMO.

Wire don't need to win but it helps the cause.

Of course we need to win, we're at risk of falling out of the 8. We need all the wins we can get.

Forget talk of 4th, we're struggling to make the 8! Could be a disastrous set of results for us this weekend which has already started with castleford winning. I think we need to win 3 from 6 to make the 8 but the only one I can see us winning is Wakefield away.

I think it will be difficult to come away with anything from Hull. Even though they are near the bottom they seem to be hitting some form. KR have four players in the top ten try scoring list & Tyke is defending for fun.

This and the Wakey games are the only games of the 5 before the split against teams below us in the table and the only team we've been above us this season is Leeds. This is probably the biggest game we have left. I think 2 wins might see us make the 8, i reckon 3 will certainly. This is one of those must win games.

What a load of negative tosh on this thread.
We don't need to win this (but we will), we only have to remain in the 8 come the split.

We need to win this to realistically stay in the 8 come the split.

That is a fair comment.

With our only other "comfortable" match left being Wakey, and we're yet to play Saints, Wigan and Cas, this is a certain must-win mate.

We also need Wigan and Leeds to win their games this weekend v Salford and FC. Saints already let us down..

If we win tonight, we can win every one of those remaining fixtures unless TS puts 2 out of the 3 midget hbs back in together.

Tonight we just need our forwards to do the work. They're as rudderless as us with Campese out, so get the pack rolling and Clark, Dwyer, Ratch and Myler running off the back of it.

Have you seen Wigan's away record over the past 12 months? Why can't we beat them?

Myler will have a long run from lower Walton vw

Very true, which gives some hope, but our record against them recently is "take the lead, lose the lead with 15 to go, comeback slightly, they score with 5 mins to go and kill us off."

Ah yes, wee Myler is due?
