Agree with you on that. That still actually looks a strong squad without Anderson, Harrison and Morley that's if the Injuries are true.

Did ok there on Saturday.

Stop crying about injuries. That's what us small clubs do.

Where you been hiding?

Why?
Clarke is a good defender, who doesn't miss many tackles.
A great "backer upper" of play, who's always there to finish moves off...to think, this is all some people think that's all what Richie Myler does.

Now that really is







Yes, Clarke makes more mistakes now, and maybe it is time to let him go at the season's end. But until then, let's use him. He has versitility, and he'll do a job. Also, he's better than One Trick Mick.

Who says Anderson is injured?

I know i'm humouring the rumour mongers here but if Louis, Adrian and Ben H ARE injured you have a couple of extra choices beyond the normal that wouldn't do so bad.

Wood Monaghan Carvell
Westwood Grix
Bridge

Wood Monaghan Carvell
Westwood King
Grix

The only time i would believe they are injured is at 4.30pm on saturday. Kidology at its best maybe?

For some of our older viewers that remember challenge cup final 1990 Wires v Wigan...

The pies use to do this all the time the week before a big game headlines WIGAN INJURIES.

Wigan have no Edwards,Iro, Gregory,Bell And Ellery Hanley for saturdays Challenge cup final...

Pound to a piece of poop they would all trot out onto the hallowed turf and all play a blinder..

th eldest trick in th book..

Though of all that, but feel we need our strongest back line. Who knows with TS? Could there be a shock inclusion?

After the Quins game we stayed to applaud the players off, the under 20's were warming up and my son (6) said to me 'who's that guy with the the blonde hair he looks like a good player'

They were only running across the pitch.

Not a bad idea though, Evans in, free up King/Bridge to play in the forwards. He could play on the same wing as Charnley 'cos he's gash.

Every thread.

Could just be mind games but I really doubt Wire or even Morley himself would take too much of a risk with something like an eye, especially playing prop in a derby (collisions much?). One bad blow and he could detach his retina, damage the nerve etc and thats him affected for life.

If they are not in the squad, but pass late fitness tests then they can play. Let's just wait till Saturday to see who's playing & who's not.

No way is Morley going to play.

Harrison will need to be strapped up just to make the bench

DO loop speculation.

Whoever plays, Moz or no Moz, the game will be close. A piece of magic by Briers or Tomkins(sim) or a mistake will win it.

(Now I'm speculating)


SIM - Spews In Mouth

I know Morley won't, but the other two might.

Mona's to target Hock and Cross if they play get pens galore.

Long as we can get some ball in their half I fancy our chances to score a few points, need to target the wings under the high ball, King and Joel are 2 of the best you can get for taking balls from the air.

Monaghan v Richards would be an interesting aerial battle - both very good in the air.

King v Charnley on the other hand...

Latest on Moz from the man himself:

Short version:

Interesting article, that....including
"I am unlikely to be involved in the Cup clash with Wigan at the weekend ", whatever that means
Is there a chance he'll be kitted up, or will he be the water carrier, as Briers as done before....hmmmmmmm

Glad to see him remaining positive for the rest of his career, and blowing out of the water, the rumour that he's going to go to the Warrington Retirement Home that is Salford

Sam Tomkins - "As a young lad, I even had a Warrington shirt with Alfie Langer’s name on the back"

Pies will love that.

Wears it under his Wiggin shirt.

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
