Warrington Guardian reported today that Wire have shifted over 5,000 tickets. What numbers are you looking at bringing over to the right side of the Pennines? 12,00 capacity stadium so 10,500+ attendance would be pleasing to see from a neutral point of view on the tellybox

If every player we have plays to their potential we have a punchers chance - the injury list has not helped but that pack should be able to compete whilst Moore, Miller and Finn are a vey useful combo whilst the backs are currently competent with a few match winners in Hall and BJB which is a massive improvement on last year.

For us to get to Wembley with our current squad regardless of injuries is a huge ask - nobody will make it easy for us. It's all down to the players and how much they want it and if they do there is just about enough in what we have left to have a really good go.

I think Kirmond plays on the right and Ashurst normally on the left. Tupou I'm not quite sure but unless it's a problem to him, I'd have him running in the whole Ashurst normally hits.
It's clearly a go to attacking option so whoever covers needs to be on their running game.

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic but I'll feel better if BJB is out there and Simon and Anderson are fit and ready to spill blood.

Already have my Wembley tickets and have a bet on Wakefield to win.

I go to the final every year but I'm hanging back purchasing our specific seating position until I know if we're there or not.

Ashurst and Sio could feature!

It has already been said that he is out for the season, so it would seem strange

I recall when I broke mine, I did it in the April, and had it wired for 6 weeks, so couldn't eat solids.

Its one of those frustrating ones, because with you not eating solids, I felt weaker, and took time to reach full fitness

J Child reserve referee, let's hope nothing happens to Hewer in the build up to this game!

Child as reserve, should keep him away from any important decisions.

In full agreement with you on both points.

Also wondering if Chester will ask a favour of John Kear and see if he could give one of his famous Churchillian speeches to the players shortly before the game.Think the circumstances would be ideal for a bit of his special motivation.

Not sure on that one, didn't work last time!

Problem last time was that one of the wingers had gone to the bog and missed the speech.

Old sideshow , couldn't get even get going to the bog right cos he sh/t himself evrytime he saw an high ball.

He was bad but you also have to wonder about Brough's goal kicking - you'd swear he'd been got to by the bookies

Was discussing this game the other day with a bloke who had just watched it on CD. He said Silverwood was the biggest influence on the result.

I dont recall thinking that at the time.
We just got off to an awful start (mainly down to Peterson's inability to deal with the high kick's).
If the game had been 10 minutes longer, we'd probably have won and we were comfortably the best team for most of the game.

Let's just hope that we can compete on Saturday and that none of our players get stage fright !

Lol made me laugh that

True though, he was shocking but to be fair wasn't he carrying a knock into the game bur Kear still played him. Another game that was for the taking, still hurts

If I remember rightly biscuit bones true to form got injured in his 1st tackle of the game.

Looking at the below link, it looks like parking could be a major issue on Saturday as parking at the ground is very limited and you can't park next door in Morrison's. www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news ... nformation Looks like we will have to get there early and probably go in the Pennington Flash Country Park ?

Quote ="vastman"I don't think injuries are as bad as people think - I have a sort of spy in the camp. Don't know about the Sio injury but I'm told Simon is fine and Kirmond and Anderson have been ready for weeks. The pack available could be Fifita, Moore, Scruton, Anderson, Arona, Simon, Kirmond, Molloy, Tupou and hopefully Sio. I don't think that is to bad a line up so let's not call it a day just yet. Call Anderson names if you wish but he's a big unit with GF experience. All the lads need to do is give it a good dig and enjoy it, the pressure is on Warrington. Sure Warrington are heavy favourites but as Monty said, you can lose every battle so long as you win the last one. We are building a team and a club here and we will come back bigger and stronger next year, defeat (so long as it's brave) is not the end it's just the beginning. '" Molloy and Bill Tupou both definitely out ... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/36896025

Sio is OK. Sounds like Ashurst wants to play! www.totalrl.com/four-returnees-p ... d-cc-semi/

I'm not surprised about Ashurst. Been one of if not the most consistent player this year. Strong contender for player of the season, it'd be gutting for him to miss out.

Just hope he's sensible about it. Would be awful for him to take a hit in the early stages and leave us a rotation light and himself badly injured.
