Despite the situation Saints find themselves in I think they're still favourites. They have the big match experience that will be a big help to them.

cunningham should get atlest a 3/4 game ban for the punch

Agree totally with that opinion, looking at their team they have winners all over the park, especially that Gilmour fella

Plus it's taking some pressure off us!

I think it would be very close even if we had full team out for our semi with you but with the players out injured I'd say it's looking good for you men.

Saints being saints are still capable of getting to wembley but can't see it with the team we will have out.

Injuries are part and parcel of the game and will not be used as excuse by me.

If you do beat us I hope you trounce the pies or wolves.

I think roby will play in semis and also Cunningham.

Can we have Moore back please?

Call him back on the Saturday before the game - once our gameplan has been dished out!

Make life a bit easier for you.

I would be shocked if the RFL banned him for the semi final.

with his good record and seeing as it was only a punch I don't think he will miss the semi.

I know he may have broke the guys jaw but punching and much worse happen every week on the rugby pitch.

How is your injury situation?

We have 3 out. Raleigh, Lolesi and Kirmond. All 3 second rows and all would have been in the seventeen. We are a bit light in the back row. Using two hookers and a winger in there at the minute.

Will be intersting to see how the RL will react to this at the end of the day it was a clear swipe at the defender, petulant yes but still a clear swipe with no good reason.

We'll have to see.

will those 3 be out of the semi?

Who are your next 2 games against before we play you men?

Catalans (H) and Hull FC (A) and Jammer should be back and Danny 50/50 i think?

we hope that lolesi and raleigh might be back but raleigh would be unlikely to be match fit although he is a tough bugger who puts in a lot of hard work and recovers well.

Have heard nothing on Kirmond. However it was a cheekbone so may be quite fit.

We play catalans at home and then Hull away.

AAWWWwwww did that nasty Mr Newton ruin your season then AAWWWwwww

Raleigh said yesterday he is hoping to be back in the next couple of weeks.

KC facing no charge, so he'll be in the semi

Is he being rested til then

If that's true then it shows how corrupt the RFL is. Basically they've just said that it's ok to break someones cheekbone and eye socket with a punch.

.....................if you play for certain clubs !!

Jesus!!!! It's not a wind up either!!!!

There was no broken cheek bone or anything broken at all. Check out the Wildcats own website. He's playing next week. He got a knock and that's all. Cunningham was given the benefit of the doubt by the RFL in terms of his intent, and intent plays a major role in whether or not someone should receive a ban (which I think is fair enough).

The whole thing was a big drama. It didn't look much when I saw it on the Superleague Show and seemingly it didn't look much because it wasn't much!

(Cunningham got a formal caution, incidentally - which is on his record for three months I think)

Apparantly Paul Wellens has a broken hand according to someone listening to the radio tonight. Oops.

Danny Kirmond will be fit for selection next week.

Wellens has a broken bone in his hand. Out for 4 weeks. Unbelievable thats the fourth broken bone in four weeks!!
