I think you're right karetaker, we could really do with bullock, Harrison, clark and wrench coming back to fitness. I think it will be Vaughan, mcguire, kasiano and Thomas in the forwards this week with another young forward on the bench, i think we will need a 2nd row cover as well personally, so maybe holroyd this week.

End of day clubs get injuries hopefully you get them all out the way early on in a season and have full availability at the businesses end.

Beat Wigan and Saints and Warrington have practically won the LLS and almost guaranteed top 2.

I cannot possibly see how any team could effectively win 4 more games than Wire.

Other than Catalans who at this time would need to win 3 more than Wire.

I cannot see any games ahead where Wire look a certain to get beaten.

The really big test will be the three games at the end of the season against top opposition.

At this rate the big test will be getting 17 players on the pitch.

Regardless of what teams are out there I think this will still be a great game.

Hopefully you pick up a few suspensions against Wigan, or your game against us will be very entertaining for you lot.

Walmsley, Sironen, Batchelor, Matautia, Paasi, Knowles missing against Hull KR this week. They're going to put 40 on us. If we're not careful, we're going to end up having the season you had last year

It is nowhere near that bad for saints, we won't be at full strength for Wigan this week or saints next week. I don't think you were too far off against Wigan, makinson wasn't moving right for one of their tries or when he was bundled in to touch, he scores those for fun usually. On another day the knock on over the line doesn't happen and its scored, you never know that could have been a pivotal moment which swung the game your way. I'd put your good Friday loss down to fine margins personally.

I'm hoping that we don't pick up suspensions and neither do you lot. Both teams are missing enough as it is and it's usually one of the best games of the season, I'm hoping it will be next week as well. We will worry about you lot after Friday, for now we are in Wigan week, with another one of the seasons better games to look forward to. Come back when you're back to your usualy chirpy best after you've had your backsides paddled by Hull KR.

Makeale (until replaced) Dudson Philbin Harrison Bullock Wrench (possibly Clark) 6-7 out.
On the red vee you said they were all back up and wouldn’t make your starting 13.

They're not your best players are they. If you were going to miss five players, it'd arguably include most of those. Clark is back this week, so not sure why you're listing him.

Dudson, Philbin and Harrison weakens your bench, Bullock wouldn't play anyway if you were fully fit.

You'd probably beat us anyway the way you're playing, but if Walmsley, Paasi, Sironen, Mata'utia, Batchelor and Knowles out you'll win by plenty. I think we might be waiting a month or more for our next win.
