Does anybody really think that Kingy won't make it?

I am sure he will, it's all about mindgames surely?

On a related note did you see those stats on Wire vs Hudds head to heads in the cup? Apparently over all the history of RL they have only beaten us twice in the cup, both times in the final




1906-07 (3rd round) Huddersfield 9-15 Warrington

1912-13 (final) Huddersfield 9-5 Warrington (at Leeds)

1927-28 (3rd round) Warrington 10-3 Huddersfield

1929-30 (1st round) Huddersfield 2-5 Warrington

1932-33 (final) Huddersfield 21-17 Warrington (at Wembley)

1968-69 (2nd round) Warrington 19-8 Huddersfield

1973-74 (1st round) Warrington 34-4 Huddersfield

1983-84 (1st round) Warrington 34-16 Huddersfield

1987-88 (preliminary round) Warrington 48-10 Huddersfield

1990-91 (preliminary round) Warrington 22-4 Huddersfield

Huddersfield won 2; Warrington 8

Time to fix that hoodoo then

according to interview he had in The People at the weekend, he said he couldn't wait to play at Wembley

I heard from someone at the club this morning that Jon Clarke has a break in his ankle. Hopefully not the case and just another rumour!

Clarke out. You read it hear first.

No big loss if you ask me, Monaghan is better at hooker anyway and Louis can always fill in if needs be.

King will play for sure.

Harrison and Cooper need to be playing or else I reckon we could be struggling in the forwards when Morley and Carvell are rested.

Tbh i slightly begrudge Rauhihi his wembley spot, has he earn't it this year...has he balls. If wood and Cooper were both fit I would go with them and leave Rauhihi sitting in the stands. The big oaf owes us a big performance on saturday so he better pull his finger out. He has looked anything but mobile this year and im struggling to remember a half decent performance from him. He really irritates me as you can probably tell

When is the squad accounced? Is it tomorrow? Although the boys are travelling tomorrow?

I hear he sustained a new injury on Friday in addition to the ankle injury he was already playing with - struggling to make it, doesn't look good.

Hopefully King will be fit but again some concern around his availability.

The loss of Grix (due to his flexibility) is suddenly a massive loss if both King and Clarke don't make it.

I think King wont play.

Think/hope King plays. Without Grix and Clarke, Bridge will have to play in the halves for me. Unfortunately though that means Johnson in the centres.
All this is really bad news imo and won't help our preperation one bit. Puts a lot of pressure on the forwards and Briers/Monas.

Really?

This will please quite a few Wire fans if true, no doubt.

If Clarke is missing, Id play Vinnie at six before Bridge.

Woody isnt playing

King will play he said on some article he was hoping to play on friday so he should defo be at wembley

I wouldnt let Vinnie within 100 yards of 6 at them moment!

He was the best performer at Wigan from that position.

At breaking the line and hitting gaps yes... but his handling left alot to be desired as did his passing.

Mathers
Hicks
Johnson
King
Riley
Bridge
Briers
Moz
Monas
Carvell
Louie
Benny
Harrison

Cooper
Anderson
Rauhihi
Mitchell/McCarthy?? (Struggling for numbers but better him than Blythe)

That means no cover in the backs though.

That's correct.

If Kingy was to be injured this could be a huge blow to us, as Kingy has really hit form, and would be sadly missed in the centre's.

Kings fit, as is Hicks. There will be one surprise inclusion instead to make up for losing Clarke at hooker.

Whats the status on Higham?

Cameron Smith ?

In a relationship but with offers of other wives on the table.
