Then we will get the usual "you were lucky in the semi" Where as if we field a full strength team we would win again but then you risk injury. We cant win either way but..............We are still going to WEMBLEY!!!!!!!! COME ON FARTOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

said it would be on sky didnt i but you and your 3 weeks notice lol....was i right rocket???

Since 99% of our home games are played on a Friday night, and Friday night is one of two nights that Sky show games, then Friday night it was likely to be given that you're visiting us.

I very much doubt you'll be resting players. Or if you want to seriously contend for the grand final then you shouldn't.

Would be interesting to guess what Saints would have done had they won yesterday, in previous seasons we have seen them rest players before a CC final. People in glass houses...................

Not really since Millward's days, and it very often came back to haunt us.

I'm a firm believer of playing your strongest side, if they are 100%. Fair enough if players are carrying knocks, but not just because of the fear of getting a star man injured.

Makes a huge difference taking some momentum into a big game - Sunday was evidence of that.

I READ THE AUP BUT PREFERRED THE MOVIE

Reckon they'll be out to hammer us good & proper.

They'd certainly want to put one over us but then again they have HKR this weekend if they lose that one then this could be a title challenger :shock:

, especially as Rhino's play them in the following round.
