Key players out for tomorrow and a makeshift backline cant see us living with an inform Wigan who really need to win tomorrow.
Tuimavave also out for another 2 weeks
Had a horrible feeling we would blow it.

we haven't blown it, we haven't played yet!

connor at centre, hopefully tala will play, if not then thommo and griffin need step up again like at saints

What's your team looking like lads? Any news on Talanoua/ Watts ?

I've no doubts we won't beat cas last game if we have to win . Were good in one off games knowing we have to win and cas will have nothing to play for and will surely have one eye on the semi the week after . I don't fancy us tomorrow but I do think we'll be in the 4 .

With Sts win I take back what I said
We can postpone our must win match to another day
I really now have a bad feeling about the result
If we lose we stay in the 4 and the players know it
We know Wigan play Wakey later on and thus
Tonight's game is no longer a ' must win'
It's a must win for me for lot of reasons but now can't see it
Hope I'm very very wrong

Saints winning really wasn't a good result for us. We now almost certainly have to win 2, whereas a Wakefield win would have meant 1 win would have given us a good chance. Saints will almost certainly win their last 2. Had Wakefield and ourselves won this week we could have secured our spot next week even with defeat if Cas had beaten Wigan. We don't have that safety net now, we've got to do it ourselves.

As much as I'd like to win this match, and it would be a great victory. I don't think defeat would be disaster. It would just mean that if we win our next 3 games, we'd be at the Grand Final. It's still all to play for, no matter what tonight's result is.

The pressure is all on them to come here and beat us.

We do, in fact last season was the first time I've ever known it to be outside of the season. My timehop is full of previous POTY awards. As Chris has already said, the players left barring a couple as soon as the ceremony was finished with so there was no daft antics. There was a feeling of us not being done about the whole evening so all we can do is sit back and hope/pray.

Griffin on the wing tonight unless his mrs goes into labour then talanoa will play

Bit of an odd one if true. If Talanoa is fit enough to play in that scenario then he should play anyway.

Who are the centres then? Connor and Thommo? I thought we might have brought Rawsthorne back from his loan for this one.
