Not quite true, we also beat Hull Kr and Leeds after you. Catalan was the turning point. Since then we've had 3 narrow losses. 9 points being the total difference in those three games. At one point this season we were on fire, playing with confidence and being expansive with the right edge of crooks and Lineham in sensational form. If you play like you did against the Giants and we play like we did against Leeds, its going to be an epic game. Whoever wins I fancy to lift the trophy, may the best team win.

The obvious choice for a rest in the Halves is Lee, but Ratch has played nearly every game this year. Lee has not long come back from injury so he may not get a rest. Can we recall GOB back from Saints? Would TS consider resting both Lee & Stefan & put Bridge & Grix in the halves? We couldn't put Monas M in the halves because that would mean no interchange for Higham. Trent played some big minutes on Sunday & I thought at the time is he playing 70 minutes & then getting a rest against Rovers.



With Myler & Ryan both injured & GOB at Saints I can see TS having to play Ratch, Lee & Brett. With Tyrone, Ben H, & Big Riley resting the forwards. Before last seasons Semi we rested some players against Salford & got tonked, but last year we were clear 2nd and could 'afford' to lose the 2 points but this season we need every point we can get to finish 2nd .

Is 2nd that important in the big scheme of things? As long as you're top 4 I would have thought the rest was irrelevant.



Will be interesting to see the team selection, We tend to gauge Wire games on the Briers factor, he plays we lose, he doesn't we win. No doubt that statement will be proved wrong one way or another this weekend

Ben Currie getting a rest as well Russ?!!!!!!!!!!!

Both semi's will be great occasions, I fancy London in the other, Soward is a proven matchwinner

Opps, not had a drink either so no excuses.



I've put Ben in at 13. Where hopefully he will play for the P & B for the next 10 + years

I think top 2 is very very important. I know what you will say about Leeds being 5th for 2 years on the trot. But in the history of Super League apart from Leeds, only Bradford have won the G/F from outside the top 2

Hull are the best visiting side I've seen this season.

fc will turn up in big numbers hope you do too

Hull were excellent at our place and beat us hands down. If we play to something approaching our best however we'll win the game. We have better players and are better coached, regardless of the gnashing of teeth that took place after that loss.

Us and Wigan couldn't sell out the 2009 semi, which was played on a Saturday afternoon in a stadium with a capacity roughly half that of Huddersfield's, in a town no more than ten miles from either Warrington or Wigan.



There's not a chance this will sell out, and it wouldn't no matter when it was played. It will be well attended though. I reckon about 13-14,000 which is hardly a bad crowd.

Grix is top of my list for a rest, but unfortunately I don't see it happening. He has already played 23 games for us and has only missed the Keighley match and Exiles weekend. With the injuries to the 3/4's, he is a key man.



I am not sure how adventurous TS will be with his team selection. He will definitely wan't the points as we are only a couple away from Wigan, so my guess would be two of Tyke, Harrison and Laithwaite to come in and two of Woody, Waterhouse and Westwood to have a rest. But who knows.
