How is this one going to go? What players are going to be able to come back into the squad, I saw Rich whiting went off with a bit of an injury last night any news?

Superman had treatment a couple of times late in the 1st half under the sticks after conceding tries. Looked like a shoulder injury......

I think we have enough in us to grind out the victory required for us to finish 5th. That is of course unless Rovers win their last 2 games 0 v 81 and 94 v 2, then 6th it is

Whiting should be ok.

Ellis 50/50, the rest wont return - according to Gentle.

Tough game. saints in better form than they have been all season and roby back for them. Unless we get some forwards back I can only see a loss

What about Ben crooks? Was interested to see he was in squad this week but was certain he wasn't going to play.

I just can't get to grips with it this season, one week we look like a genuine top four side, a team that can compete with the best teams, the next week we look like wooden spoon contenders. The contrast from week to week is unreal. Every team has bad games, and players who don't show up in games, but some games we look clueless going forward, then others we are racking up 70 points.

Willie Manu will have a stormer and show us what we are missing.
Still upsets me he moved on . On his day unstoppable, and carried Hull FC for years .

Heramaia back

i've a feeling ellis might play with a needle, rib cartilage more painful than anything but could well tough it out
so we go in with the forwards looking like
watts
houghton
bowden
ellis
tickle
westerman

with a solid bench of
whiting
pitts
johnson
green

Heremaia back Rob

Saying fair well to 3 players on Friday night aswell . I had a go at tickle on the Wigan game thread but that was just heat of the moment and tbh he's been a fantastic servant to our great club as has Ogre n TB . I'm gutted about Tom going just as much as I was about Manu going , he's left us with some special memory's .

Is this right?

Done for the season
McDonnell
Lineham
O'Meley
Galea

What's the status of these missing on Friday - anyone know whether they'll be back this year?
Crooks
Arundel
Lynch
Ellis
Whiting (looked to be struggling and brought off)
Heremaia - presume he'll be back.

The Hull Daily Mail said yesterday that O'Meley is out of the Saints game but could return the following week.

I saw Arundel outside Wembley and judging by the pot on him I'd not expect him back this season.

4 to 6 weeks so could be back for play offs

Been really quiet on Lineham, hoping he will be back for the play offs too.

lineham and arundell gone for the season I thought. o'meley and lynch back for the first week of the play offs

so beat saints its the dobbins at home, lose and its catalan home or away!

Lee "clueless" Richardson reckons Rovers can finish higher than 8th

They can, if we lose, and they win by about 200 points, can't they?

Rovers can finish higher than 8th. They either:

Need to beat London by 110 and Catalans get nilled when Warrington travel to France

or

Need to beat London by 208 and we get nilled by Saints

There's a couple of other ways that it can happen. All of them about as likely as above...

What about if rovers won by 60 and cats lost by 50?

There needs to be a 123 points difference swing for rovers to finish above Cats.

I think we will beat St's next week, finish 5th and play rovers in the play offs.

Sts a bit like us...dont know what your going to get 1 week to the next.......Be nice to get Ellis back for nxt week.

Watts
Houghton
Bowden
Ellis/Whiting
Tickle
Whiting/Pitts

Would have Westerman on bench as thought he was poor on Fri and would bring Kent and Hadley in as well and Johnson left out..he was Gash on friday.

"All of them about as likely as above..."

On Rugby League live maybe..not in the real world
