Who is that? Brett Hodgson?

mathers?

Heavily rumoured.

Yes, but that looks unlikely now.

Ashton not been in training for a couple of weeks, been a naughty boy I believe.

Well I’m intrigued even if no one else is!

Even more intriguingly he seems to be in the squad.

I see that Charnley has also made the squad. I never expected that we'd reach the play-offs with just two players missing, both through suspension, plus one who went back to Union.

Cooper missing as well.

Huge blow with no Cooper. Going to be a very young, lightweight bench if Philbin starts.

Cooper has been our best player by far this season. We are in big trouble without him.

If we can avoid it I’d rather Philbin didn’t start, he is better as an impact player.

Hill

Clark
Currie
Hughes
BMM

Philbin
Davis
Doro / Robson
Walker

Alternatively King to BR could release Hughes to 13 and BMM to the bench, but leaves our three quarters looking a little light as I assume Mamo would cover.

Really need Hill to stand up in this one, big minutes and big performance.

I'd missed that. Big blow as he has been by far our best forward this year.

Presumably an injury as there is no need to rest him. Hopefully he'll be back if we progress.

Anybody heard any news about why Cooper isn't included? I echo comments I've seen on this thread already; he's been our best forward. It would be very strange to rest him so I'm assuming he's injured.

Cooper is a big miss. I'd expect BMM on the bench to cover prop. Hughes and Jason Clark both likely to play IMO.

LTS don’t be shy, spill the beans!

Warrington Guardian doing their usual routine of saying that he's not playing but failing to explain why. Thanks guys, you're only a news organisation after all!!

Coops has a knee injury, may be back for the semi if we make it.

Pity were without Coops, fingers crossed for Thursday night and Coops making the Semi Final.

I'd rather have Cooper in our squad for the Final !

Ill raise you further by Cooper scoring the wining try in the final.

I will only worry about the final if/ when we get there. I've got a bad feeling about tomorrow night, big questions about how fit mamo and charnley will be. No lineham, no cooper. A very good chance that we will have Hughes and j Clark just taking tackles and getting slow play the balls. I think a lack of size will hamper our ability to gain yardage especially if it's wet, I just hope it stays dryish I don't want it turning in to an arm wrestle.

Still we do have Daz Clark, ratchford, Austin, King, Ashton, currie and widdop who are all very capable of special moments. My head tells me we should win but I just can't convince myself about it.

hope its a good game, think we will go down the middle a lot, we could have a very big team out tomorrow, but then you have the guile, looking forward to it

Hull + 8 on the handicap.Lump on.
