Sanderson cannot play because of cap.

Ben Thaler is ref on Sunday.

The better of the current crop of poor officials under Ganson, quite how he is still employed by the RFL just shows the level of incompetence within the RFL.

Sanderson is cup tied. He played and scored against Newcastle in an earlier round. Hence why I didn't mention him.

Do you know that for sure?

Based on my understanding of the salary cap I would be surprised if he counts towards it.

So could be anything from:

Shaul
Faraimo
Logan
Tuimavave
Scott
Kelly
Connor
Taylor
Houghton
Green
Minichiello
Manu
Westerman

Paea
Masi
Hadley
Miloudi

To:

Shaul
Faraimo

Logan
Washbrook
Westerman

Houghton
Paea
Minichiello
Manu

Masi
Lane
Miloudi
Downs

Brush high-flying Saints aside on Sunday.
Victorious semi at the Keepmoat against the Giants.
Give it to Leeds at a sunny Wembley.

All that to just give it to Leeds? I'd rather we keep it thanks!

He’s already played so his salary must count on the cap, surely.

Sanderson hasn't played for the first team as yet.

The salary cap included the 25 highest earners registered to play for the club (regardless of whether they actually play or not). Plus anyone else who does play, unless they are still eligible to play u21s and earn less than 20k.

Sanderson is eligible for u21s and I would be be surprised if he earns more than 20k. So I don't really see how he could count.

Sanderson is ineligible to play on Sunday - as he is Cup tied having already played in the Challenge Cup earlier this season for Doncaster RLFC.

I can understand Harris playing for Donny as he was their player but surprised we let some of our dual reg lads play in the earlier rounds for Donny.

Joe Westerman out on his own, at the end of todays training session on County Road, practicing his goal kicking, which suggests the availability of Jake Connor is a major concern for Sunday?

Yes I know. I posted the same thing on the previous page. I was responding to a few comments about us not being able to pick him because of the cap. Which I don't think is true. This week's it's irrelevant.

westy might be practising his kicking as cover, or maybe if connor plays he doesn't want to kick as that could overstretch his hamstring,

2 out of 3 aint bad...

Rubbish venue for us, to go on the train on a sunday the earliest you can get there is 14:04 and the latest you can leave is 18:19.

Perhaps I’m thinking of the Dobbins pre season friendly?

It's a good idea given the woeful attendances at recent semi finals and the possibility of Catalans in this year's semis.

Can't see us being involved but stranger things have happened.

You've nearly got me singing along to Meatloaf.
Unfortunately.

Agree that they have to try something different, the location isn’t ideal for Yorkshire clubs but then again only the John Smiths is centrally located and a decent size, and of course Huddersfield are in the running to be semi finalists so that would be a non starter.

Also worth remembering football fans have to trek to Wembley for a semi final regardless of where in the country they are from

At least it's a home game for Wigan if they manage to reach the semis
Might even take more than a couple of thousand seeing as it's only about 10 miles away.

True indeed, and if by some miracle Hull get through I'm sure there will be a decent turn out of supporters even at such an inconvenient place as Bolton. Sadly we will probably see another pathetic effort from the Wigan fans if they get through.

Working in Warton from next month so not a bad location for me. We won't be there though.
