Friday night, the big show down. Can we take another trophy away from Wire right from under their noses?

So lets talk, Predictions, Line-ups, Where the game will be won ( not lost

) attendance etc

If Mini's fit I reckon he'll replace Feka from the squad that faced Wakefield.

I thought min and the tank were rested, is that not the case?

Think they both got knocks against Wigan.

what team would we go with then? mini and tank included, as I think they'll be ok

Currie could have done his ACL according to the Warrington Board. No news on Sandow.

Pritchard and Mini back in, with Feka and Green dropping out for me. Not impressed by Greens constant missed tackles on Fifita last week

Currie and Sandow out for the season for what I've heard. It'll alk in the park for you lot this. looking at out bench I'm expecting us to get steamrollered down the middle.

what do you think your line up will be mate?
also, are you making the trip over?

Knowing Tony smith Hill at stand off and Ratchford at Prop



I'm not making the trip over no. Friday traffic, coach leaves at 4 (Mrs doesn't finish till 5), The fact I know we're in for a hiding, Money too tight to mention... Means I'll be in front of the box. I can count on one hand the games I've missed this season so yeah I'm miffed but what you gonna do ay?

Who ever wins on Friday will be deserved winners. Both teams have been outstanding this season. Just a shame Wire are starting to get found out at the business end yet again.

That's really bad news. I was hoping to see Currie in the 4 nations. Top young player hope he makes a full recovery soon.

How many fans do you think you will bring?

Cup final team for me.

couple of hundred maybe? Setting off at 4pm and battling the 62 on a Friday night is a massive turn off.

Really disappointing if only a couple of hundred, club are putting on free travel and it's the biggest league game of the season so far, for just a league game on a Friday we took around 1500 to Warrington.

I'd be surprised if there was more than 1,000

I'd think a good crowd from Wire, when they played us in 2011 to win the LLS they packed out the North stand.
Will the Wigan game affect the wire players mentally? People go on about mental toughness in sport a lot these days. We're hearing a lot about FC being mentally drained by our Challenge Cup final win last month but what about Wolves? They had one hand on the League Leaders' Shield when leading 28-14 against a Wigan side down to 12 men. Will that have an effect? Will it put doubts in the minds of their players?
As for us, Friday's performance has to be a 100 times better than the last 2 games (I don't count the Saints game because I think we all knew we'd be beaten the week after the CC Final and with the players we rested.) We have to cut out our errors and up the tempo, and not let Wire control the ruck. Another battle of the hookers on Friday, Clarke I think made over 200m against Wigan? We need to control that area and get Houghton running at their defence. There's so much more at stake than the LLS, the loser of Friday's match will probably end up 3rd and have an away tie in the semi. Same team as the CC final if all are fit.

East and West Stand sold out and West getting to capacity - talk of opening the upper tier in the West Stand!!!! Could be the biggest ever Super League Non-derby attendance.I If you haven't got a ticket there is still time to do so.................... LET'S BACK THE BOYS.....................

Everyone's fit, a full squad to choose from, according to today's press conference.

Sure is we do it most weeks we are away, its a horrible road!

Would put out the 17 from Wembley. Huge atmosphere, pre match lights show, get an tenor to sing Old Faithful and Nessum Dorma pre match, then lights off for the team to come out to fire jets (anyone who has seen Wales RU at the Millennium Stadium will know how good they look).

Win the game, then parade the LLS with the cup post match. Job's a good 'un!

The light show would be good. Just need good choice of music pre game ( mark snyed on fire, white stripes etc ) to really get crowd bouncing ( more the casual fans and newbies ) as the faithful will be well up for this one. If we do lift the shield don't feel the need to bring the cup out. Celebrated that already and lifting the shield infront of the wire fans is enough. No need to rub their noses in it. Fridays all about a season of long hard work and which ever team wins it deserves it and I will stay and applaud them. Wire and T Smith showed total respect in defeat at wembley and I believe we should show the same respect in hopefully victory on Friday. COYH

A lot of Wire fans ,myself included are seriously hacked off with last Friday's implosion.
You have a fully fit squad we have injuries everywhere and confidence is at rock bottom. Add to that the already mentioned Friday M62 nightmare.. I can't blame them for not wanting to spend their hard earned on watching us get walloped.

Crazy that people wouldn't be bothered about being at a game when their team can lift a trophy.

so one win from a Trophy, wire fans are deserting their team?

great fans!

I wouldn't really call it a trophy..
