maybe Lineham's in the pack given his recent shape

Not wanting to doubt everyone on this, but i'll believe Gidley is not playing if he is not on the pitch at 8pm on Friday.

Warrington Guardian

.... our Wembley squad announced for Friday.

Wire official twitter account also confirms no Gidly due to a tight hamstring and been playing with a fracture in his eye socket since Wembley.

Hull Squad

Jamie Shaul Mahe Fonua Carlos Tuimavave Fetuli Talanoa Marc Sneyd Scott Taylor Danny Houghton Liam Watts Mark Minichiello Gareth Ellis Chris Green Jordan Thompson Dean Hadley Steve Michaels Sika Manu Josh Bowden Frank Pritchard Kirk Yeaman Danny Washbrook

Wire Squad

Ryan Atkins; Daryl Clark; Brad Dwyer; Rhys Evans; Chris Hill; Jack Hughes; Benjamin Jullien; George King; Toby King; Tom Lineham; Declan Patton; Kevin Penny; Joe Philbin; Stefan Ratchford; Matty Russell; Ashton Sims; Morgan Smith; Joe Westerman; Sam Wilde

i expect warrington to throw the ball around and take us on out wide

Must work to get 3 into most tackles and peel away. Slow down the ruck and specifically Clark.

Yours to lose, I reckon Warrington would rather have another crack at Wigan (assuming we beat Cats) than face their arch nemesis in the semi.

Amended for accuracy.

Out:

Gidley, Sandow, Westwood, Bailey.

In:

Penny, Lineham

Enjoy your win.

Can't see anything but an easy Hull win. Think we're imploding at the business end of the year.

Does anyone know what the prize money is for finishing top?

£100k

....£100,000.00

I'll believe Sandow and Gidley aren't playing when the teams are announced an hour or so before kick off.

Even if they aren't playing it'll be a very good Warrington side despite their fans' protestations.

Here we go They say players won't play and we go into meltdown as to how easy it will be. We will who's playing on the day. As the above whoever plays us not gong to roll over for us . Us old ones know never to count our chickens. Let's hope they're all chocked and we hammer them but let's not assume too much.

Westwood, Currie, Sandow, Gidley... Are DEFINATELY out..! That's the spine of our team.. There are a few others out but the ones I mentioned are the game changers !
Empty your bank accounts and lump on yourselves ..!

I can't see us getting over confident, the whole season comes down to this game as far as the league is concerned, with the two most consistent teams fighting it out for another trophy. We will be up for it, make no mistake about it. I think we will just edge it because of their injuries. Wire will still have plenty up there sleeve for us to think about and we will have to dig deep in this game and play well to win it. No way will we underestimate them because of what's at stake. A close game again with Hull coming good in the last quarter and winning the LLS.

Any one know how the prize/gate money is split for the Play Offs and Grand Final?

Thanks. Tidy sum.

Not being presumptuous but do you know how much the SL winners win?

4 Ryan Atkins; 9 Daryl Clark; 16 Brad Dwyer; 3 Rhys Evans; 8 Chris Hill; 12 Jack Hughes; 29 Benjamin Jullien; 18 George King; 24 Toby King; 2 Tom Lineham; 26 Declan Patton; 20 Kevin Penny; 25 Joe Philbin; 6 Stefan Ratchford; 5 Matty Russell; 10 Ashton Sims; 31 Morgan Smith; 14 Joe Westerman; 27 Sam Wilde

I don't think there's any actual prizemoney.

wire will still field a strong team and may actually be better with proper wingers and full back. tony smith knows that the LLS is window dressing and the real prize is the SL trophy hence he's resting gidley and sandow. With a full strength team (which is amazing in itself at this time of the year), we really should win comfortably but it depends if our CC final hangover has been cured

yes, there's a bit of a danger here that we treat this as a major final like the CC, and then struggle to get up for the semi final in a weeks time. if we win we celebrate for a bit, pick up the trophy then we concentrate on the even bigger game the week after

I would be shocked if the players and coaches didn't know that the Grand Final is more important than the Shield.
