Assuming no McDonnell, Lineham, Crooks, Arundel, Galea, so 5 out. Entirely making up that Horne is fit BTW, no idea.

That's what Wigan are telling everybody but I bet they still have injury doubts on some players.

| Regardless of all our problems and unknowns in the backs, it does appear that one of Green or Pitts is going to be the really unlucky one.
Horne will either start or not be there at all, can't have him on the bench. It's a massive call for PG, the FB slot. I wouldn't like to choose, would you?

It's an easy call, he doesn't play, no match fitness.
Hard on Richard I agree, but it's the right call.

Definitely. Sam and Flower were out for 2 weeks before Les Cats, Goulding and Gelling always seem to be struggling (heart defect and dislocated shoulder respectively) and then there's Lockers who I already mentioned. McIlorum's missed a lot of gametime too but there might not be much in that

You could say the mind games are already in full swing.

We have not lost a game with Shaul at FB (4 SL, 1 CC) we may already be starting with a couple of players that are not 100% fit. Horne was not fit enough for a run against Salford, massive risk to play him on Saturday when Shaul has done nothing wrong and has earnt his place. No time for sentiment, and we have enough experienced players in the squad....Shaul for me at FB

Sure would be, but Iit would be even harder on Shaul should he be dropped in favour of an unfit Richard Horne. Shaul has definitely earned his place . Could he be worth a possible few pound as Lance Todd trophy winner!? It's gonna be Shaul or Miller for my money.

As much as I have faith in our youngsters, I have no faith in the RL hacks, they will pick someone like Tomkins or Ellis, simply because they are household names.

Yes, that sounds very likely. Probably the captain of whichever team wins for "leading from the front".
Might be worth a few pound on Sinfield. Wouldn't be surprised to see him pick it up.

| gentle just said on blunderside injured players got until tues p.m to prove fitness.stated its the sqad that has got us there and the team that plays need to know so they can work on what needs to be done to beat wigan.i know team leaving thursday but would like to think lineham and yeaman would get to at least weds p.m to prove o.k.after all you'd need less time with players playing in natural positions than those covering.if not just got to trust gentle.seems like he's building a totally focused attitude throughout the squad.worked 2005 so heres hoping.we'v shown all year we are clearly a underdog team.i would honestly be more worried if we was playing bronco's

| Ben Crooks had an operation a couple of weeks ago so I seriously doubt that he'd be fit. I thought that he was targeting the playoffs for his return.

| Looking at players who have picked up knocks recently, best case scenario for the final would be:
Shaul
Lineham
Arundel
Yeaman
Briscoe
Holdsworth
Miller
O'Meley
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Tickle
Westerman
Heremaia
Lynch
Pitts
Whiting
and the worst case scenario would be
Shaul
Crookes
Whiting
Horne
Briscoe
Holdsworth
Miller
O'Meley
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Westerman
Pitts
Heremaia
Lynch
Green
Johnson
but I imagine that we'll line up somewhere between the two of those.

| Big mistake to play Horne unless we have no other option IMO. We rushed Kemble back in 85 and he was way out of sorts

I agree. But I reckon it's always been Gentles intention to play him full back at Wembley. My worry is if one of Wigans pacey backs breaks the line Horne's lack of match fitness could cost us
