Can only see a very weakened team on Sunday. Sad really, should've been Dobbos farewell.

As has been said if FC finish 5th it can't be a saturday game unless they give up home advantage.

You're playing London. HTH

If we beat Saints then, and only then, Adam will send Stevie G an e-mail to check his availability as video ref.

In away that might not be a bad idea I can not see him making the same mistake again not even he is that daft is he

No Wildmoose just wishing thinking on my part regards work

wishful sorry

Is Dobson out for 6 weeks ? Shame if so as he deserves to play in front of his home fans one more time , a good servant to super league

Even if he isn't out for 6 weeks there's no way he'll play this week. Wouldn't make sense to risk him in a meaningless game.Maybe the likes of Paterson and Welham will be given game time prior to the play offs.

Sandercock stated after Sunday's game that no players were due back for next weekend.

Matty Beherall and Matty Marsh in the halves it is then.

i'm sure Matty B was missing on sunday wasn't sure if he was injured or if he was banned from the Derby fracas

Thursday.

Matty is injured and out for the rest of the season.

Withers and Patterson if fit

Cant understand clowns wanting a strong team out sunday, its a totally meaningless game & as folk have said we will have 2 days less to prepare for whoever we play. Play off = knockout rugby so I cant see anything sensible at all in playing any player needed for the PO game.
Got a couple of injuries to the U19s lads but at the very least we should be debuting Sonny Esslemont. Tyler Hepi and Arron Ollet should play along with Chris Heil. IMO of course.

Every game is important if I want to watch the 19s I will go to a 19s match we could save the players to give it a go in the first playoff game but you know we will get hammered the week after I would play the strongest team every game

Aye, got to manage the squad. It's a shame, as a winning season would be nice and if we end on 3 losses in a row, some'll tag that on to the counting if we start next year slowly.
The bigger problem is how constrained we'll be by injuries. I suspect more than is ideal will have to back up.

It'd be an idea to switch the last game of 2014, if it is at home, just in case. Though sod's law, then we'd probably need a win, having played rnd 26 on the previous Sunday. Something to be said for Saturday as match day, maybe?

Even if we reached a Challenge Cup final, for example? The week before it, I mean.

If we play on the play-off game on Saturday, then there's a case for trying to build momentum and confidence.

If it is the Thursday, it is barely even a choice. Unfortunately.

Even the RFL are classing our game a dead rubber and giving the inexperienced ref a SL gig.
Tells you somat that.

Yes he can.

Just in case you forgot, or never saw it, he made a huge mistake right in front of his eyes in Manchester 2012. So we are even on that score.

Personally, I don't think he actually worries about what decision he gives.

Warrington already selling tickets for one of the Saturday slots and surely the other Saturday game will be Catalans.

I wouldn't take touch notice about what Warrington are doing as they were advertising challenge cup final tickets week befor the semi !

From what I understand it will be ......

Huds at home on thurs
Hull (if we finish 5th or 6th) Friday if not it will be Warrington
On sat it will be the other 2 games be it saints cats or Warrington depending on final league positions and what game is played on friday
