Going for scans in the morning.

Massive loss, this. With Crooks and McDonnell out, possibly Horne, we're already low on strike players. Pleased with the match result but would rather have lost than lose Lineham tbh.

Your right, Crooks and Lineham were really looking good together, a massive blow both being out.

Isnt Jason Crookes in court this month?

Fingers crossed the scans are positive

To go to Wembley without Lineham as well as McDonnell and Crooks would be a massive blow. Three key players to us this season.

Fingers crossed for Tom.

Really?!
I'd rather have the two points. Lineham won't win us the cup on his own.

I've got confidence that his replacement would put in a good game, considering he was given the number 2 shirt over him at the start of the season. There's always Whiting as well!

Lets see what happens with the scan before we start wetting our knickers.

He is a game breaker though and the cup is the priority for me. Would rather see Horne or Shaul in than Crookes personally.

Horne full back, Shaul on the wing?

Lets go with a unfit utility player and a fullback on the wing......or could go with a actual fullback and winger.

Shaul got Sky MOM today, the Wembley FB spot is all but his now. Hoping for some positive news on Linehams scan at least he was able to walk from the pitch so fingers crossed - have we got one of those hyperbolic chambers (sp) that aid recovery at Bishop Burton?

I

Thought you wanted Horne in for Miller.

The positive side is when he did it the physio thought he could carry on, tom then waved that it was giving him trouble, could be nothing more than a sore ankle ? well thats what am hoping

I said it was an option. But if Lineham now doesn't make it we're another back light. Shaul at FB would mean either Crookes or Horne or the wing I guess. Neither are properly match fit, Crookes had a very ordinary game v Cas.

I do not think Horney is ready yet and he has to play Friday or be ruled out of Wembley totally, shame though it is.

Shaul has IMHO done enough to book his place, cometh the hour, cometh the man

Tom Lineham we will his fate, I think he will be ok for Wembley and other one who has his date with destiny

Fingers crossed for Tom.

He truly deserves his Wembley place - hope you make it fella.

We've got Stilts, he's a game breaker. All he needs is a pair of young legs running off his breaks,bit like John Newlove used to be. We saw today, there was no way Rich Whiting was going the length of the field, thankfully Shaul saw that too.

Let's play what we've got, against what's in front of us eh?

Hope Lineham will be ok for Wembley.. Hoping it's not to bad because Physio said he was ok to carry on but maybe took off not to niggle it anymore.

As for who would take his wing spot if he didn't make it.. I'd put Whiting there in all honesty. He can compete with Richards in the air better then Crookes would.

Agree with this, very good point, I would of said winger for winger, but reading this, it makes very good sense, we concede more tries from kicks then anything else against the top teams

Lets play what's in front of us. I hope super Tom is fit but if not roll our sleeves up and get on with it. Rest Ellis n DJ next week but most of the rest of em are replaceable.

Anyone think he might have just got a little knock, and it isn't as bad as everyone is saying. A bit of mind games for the final.

What mind games during the second half of a derby were we need 2 points?? Sky replay showed quite a twist. Only thing is he seemed to bounce out of the twist without going fully over. Ligaments and you are looking at 6 weeks I guess if fully over on them but like I say didn't look quite that way so fingers crossed. If nothing else would be surprised to see him against Salford.

hope its just a sprain and we can have him back for wembley...he deserves his place!

Did any one else think when rich whiting pick off that interception 'go on Tom' for a split second.
