Yep, Grade C is 2-3 games and he's not eligible for EGP.

He's a good player, so they will miss him.
If we put our big game heads on, and have Lockers, we will be fine.

Make it a 8pm kick off, I'm on shift that day

How bitter are cas fans? Look at their board just because carney has been charged. It's all wigans fault

Having watched it on the match highlights, he'll be lucky if he doesn't get four games.

2 game ban. I think that's fair.

the only incentive i can think of is season ticker holders get 1 voucher for a cup game at half price. might get a few more in ?

We don't rely on Carney. See our victory at Wigan last year when funnily enough, Carney was banned. Although, naturally, I appreciate the cup game will be a different animal.

Good attitude. Probably be better telling this to some of your own fans though.

Town88's got his tickets for the semi already. Good lad.

I'm sitting with Blake Green.

Unfortunately you get a few at every club, these Cas lads done speak for the majority. Carney is that type of animal and he's always going to be in front of the disciplinary, it's just his style.
Anyways, he's not going to be involved in what I hope is going to be a great game with two great teams. Let's show the BBC that rugby league is the best sport in the land .

Flower, pettybourne, Farrell and possibly Charnley back for the QF www.totalrl.com/wigan-warriors-w ... rs-cup-tie And how tough is Bateman?

No mention of McIlorum there, anyone know the situation?

Hopefully we can line up something like:

Bowen
Charnley
Goulding
Gelling
Burgess
Powell
Smith
Taylor
McIlorum/Williams
Crosby
Bateman
Farrell
O'Loughlin

Pettybourne
Flower
Williams/Hampshire
Dudson

I've just witnessed the best Cas performance in many years today, 54 points (and Sneyd missed 6 conversions) next weeks a different game against tougher opposition, we will travel full of confidence but start as under dogs.
It's got the makings of another absolute barnstormer, 2 of the best sides in SL, the most exciting team in the league against arguably the most physically intimidating team in the league.
Can't wait to get over there, may the best team go through, hope neither of us are talking about the ref for the wrong reasons afterwards.

I have to agree with most of that. I'm expecting an enthraling game with plenty of talking points. Wigan will start as favourites given our recent big game experience. I expect Cas to show up and be counted. I'm quietly confident but not enough to be putting money on it.

We ripped Hull KR to bits yesterday with no Carney. However, Wigan will be a much tougher game. One of which I expect us to lose in a close match.

Real excited for it now though. Heard you may have some of your injured first teamers back. Is this a good thing for you as your youthful team have played amazing of late.

Wigan to win by 8 I say. Beginning of second half take a lead before battling tough to hold on for win. Hope not though!!

Ticket sales look absolutely dire for this, can't understand why tbh.

Sadly, which ever set of fans team gets beaten they will be on these forums moaning about the ref within minutes.

Cas are in tremendous form. No way is this a foregone conclusion!
Wigan will need to be in tip-top form to pull this one off.
I think there will be 6-10 points in it either way.

I'd drop Powell. Thought he was poor on Thursday, more than prepared to risk Hampshire's weaker defence

Bowen
Charnley
Goulding
Gelling
Burgess
Hampshire
Smith
Taylor
Macca
Dudson
Bateman
Faz
Locky

Williams
Flower
Pettybourne
Crosby

I think Powell needs a proper run of games to judge whether he is capable of taking over from Green next year and now is the ideal opportunity. He didn't have the best of games last week. When does a half have a good game behind a beaten pack? He has done enough iver the last few weeks IMO to warrant selection.

A lot depends on whether MM is playing. I suspect he will be. If he is Williams on the bench if not Williams to start and Rocky on the bench with Powell rotating to #9.

The pack is looking strong again.

Cas have been a joy to watch this season and played some breathtaking rugby. I was guilty of thinking they would perhaps fall away after the good start but they've been brilliant and are looking the real deal.

We will have to be at our best to beat you.

Wigan by 30 to 40 points im not worried about a team that can only play well on a small pitch. You mark my words 55 to 60 minutes in if were not already blowing them away we will put another 20 to 30 points on the board between then and 80 minutes. Our team is much stronger and much fitter than Cas. Don't get me wrong they have been the surprise package this year and had this been on their own ground it would be much closer but Daryl Clark can't win this on his own! PREDICTION: Wigan 46-12 Castleford

Looks like Flower, Mcilorum, Sarginson and Farrell are back, Pettybourne and Charnley still need another week or two.

Bowen
Manfredi
Goulding
Gelling
Burgess
Powell
Smith
Taylor
Mcilorum
Dudson
Farrell
Bateman
O'Loughlin

Flower
Hughes
Crosby
Williams

Nervous about this one.
