Very interesting night ahead tomorrow to find out who we play next week.

Great that we will have Oledzki, Mellor, Tetevano, Vuniyayawa back for this one and I for one wouldn’t be surprised if Gale played.

Prefer Warrington - better away day.

Slightly off topic, I’ve seen again that the club aren’t running supporters coaches to Wigan.

They really don’t deserve the money that visiting fans are paying to watch their team at Headingley.

Fancy us for this, don’t think Wigan are anything special, not easy tough defenders hard to break down but poor in attack. big game needed from Tet (no cards or stupid penalties) hopefully Oledski back as well, and Leeming ok.
Last night our most complete performance of the season and a harder game than the score suggested, good momentum.

If Gale's fit, do we parachute him back into the side? I thought our attack last night was better than for a while. If he's off the pace - and there's a good chance he could be - then it could actually set us back against a side that's only conceded 16 points in its last four games

Gale has been border line appalling all year, his form does not warrant shoeing back in the side if anything other than 110% fit, that said he at least makes the bench as its a massive risk only going with one dedicated half back.

For a variety of reasons, some self inflicted, Gale hasn't had a great season. However, if he is fit he should start at seven, no question. Our left side looks extremely potent when he is on the field and he is our only proven drop goal specialist. If he plays we are a more complete side.

They won't be putting on coaches because of covid.

Corey Johnson in a boot for a month so season over for him.

We might not need him if Gale comes back soon.

Hope the lad gets a good pre-season.

Gales entire leg was in a brace last night

HKR put on plenty of coaches last night.
Why can't Rhinos do the same?

Broadbent
Briscoe Newman Hurrell Handley
Lui Myler
Prior Leeming Tetevano
Martin Gannon
Smith

Dwyer Oledzki Holroyd Mellor / Donaldson / Thompson / Vuniyayawa

Briscoe.

Things start to look much more convenient. I’d back us with this squad personally.

We need to be careful with Gannon. He’s carrying a shoulder injury and he’s so young.

We should take the longer view with him.

If that’s the case then move Donaldson into the starting spot, with Dwyer, Holroyd, Oledzki, Thompson or Vuniyayawa on the bench

Just have to hope the returning players are fit and ready to play. If so its strongest weve been for a while.

The club are now running coaches to Wigan.

Good.

Be a few Bob theydve missed out on.

I’m very excited for this one. Wigan still have a couple of injury issues and are sometimes struggling to score points. With our players back, I think we could do the job and get the win, all being well.

I think with a couple more back providing they are fit enough of course we certainly have a chance which is a long way from where I thought we would be.
If we do win and assume Wire do the same it`s over to France which again is winnable if we don`t let them bully us this time.
GF against Saints and we win it from 5th again.
Or maybe it`s all a dream.

Given the home advantage Wigan must start favourites, but you never know, if we have the majority of our lads back we could bully them in a similar fashion to last year's cup semi. Noticed that Saints placed a very weakened team against Salford on Friday and will have no match this week. Could come back to haunt them in a knock out semi against ( in all probability) Warrington.

Interesting that the club has put a tweet out saying some troops back as a teaser with images of

Tetevaon
Luke Gale
King V
Alex Mellor

And

Jack Walker?

Warmed up last week. Must say that I did think he looked more robust than previous iterations, but would be amazed if he made the 17.

James Graham comes out of retirement especially for this one and has another good cry.

Oh dear god please no.
