Maybe it's because they realise that he is a cheap-shot merchant. We would much rather he was playing, he is not as effective as he was, and you can always use his absence as an excuse. You have a good enough squad; you just need to sort out the psychological aspects, as indeed you will have to when you reach the play-offs. Other than that, it's too close to call.

Big loss but we will cope. If they play Ben or Stuart they will be a prop down aswell.

Great shout Lefty with you 100% on this one.
We are unbeaten in this comp since 2008 a run of i dunno some 11 games something like that last year we had Bradford away in the Quarters the year before Hull kr away neither was easy games but came through them and went on to lift the Cup.

This year Wigan at home in the quarters before the draw you think give us anyone at home we will take em,we got Wigan who are playing some great stuff at the moment so this should give our boys a massive lift so come on wire do it for the fans most of all do it for Moz..

It's a loss but by no means does it give Wigan a huge advantage, that people are speaking off. Sure, we'd rather have him on the field but we'll cope.

One thing I do know though, is that Fielden will be alot happier now, at least now he can't go hiding all game.

Fielden is NOT playing.

Dissapointing if Moz isnt playing, game could go either way, not much in it.

Advantage Wigan then.

Beat me to it

Morley isn't very good anymore according to some pies and Cross is now super duper.

What a thick bunch they are.

No Moz + No Stu = me not so confident.

The "pies" think it's a big bluff & do not believe the story that Morley will not play.

Dont be sorry to be upbeat about your team but its a little short sighted I think. The last 8 years at HJ will have no bearing on Saturday. Nor to be fair does a game (where you were miles better than us) back nearly 4 months ago.

This game genuinely could go either way. If Wire win it will be nothing to do with a game in march or Wigans record of 8 years. It will be because they were better than us on the day. Or of course vice versa!

Those rumours that came out might not be far off the mark.

I know Morley came out and said it wasn't true but its the kind of injury he can't control its already been 3 weeks this could take months.

Is it the same injury he got in New Zealand?

Maybe Morley is being rested to save him for the league.

Think about it would Alex Ferguson risk Giggs in a cup tie if he wasn't fully fit?

no it was a torn bicep in new zealand , this is bruising to the muscle behind the eye causing double vision

Well, I reckon the club should be applauded really. If they're not willing to risk him, fair play to them. It would be easy to throw him in, take the risk.

I like the player welfare angle, awesome.

Have the club actually said he's not playing ? I thought the squad wasn't announced until Thursday ?

Until Skents has come out and confirmed he's playing there is no way I'm writing him off for Saturday.

Didn't Paul Scholes have a similar problem that put him out for months after a knock to the head, blurred vision can be a hard thing to shake off.

Just heard louis Anderson is out too!?

Doomed, we're all doomed.

Pressure off, as we will have no team.
