Who captains that team. Yeaman? Pryce? Pritchard?

Yeaman or Washbrook for me.

Washbrook has being doing 20 minutes in the second half of most games, god help us if he's our hooker, would rather have one of the kids that can actually play for almost a full game.
The 'we will lose this anyway' brigade typify the Barista way of thinking when we are a few points down.
We should be looking at this as a game were players are wanting to prove a point, players potentially playing for a contract, players wanting to play for the badge and the buzz it gives you when you win.
Nobody gave the team a chance against Warrington at home, we should be looking at this as a game we can win, we have team spirit and no certain amount of talent.
If it's not a tight game score wise I'll be disappointed to be honest.

Washbrook can play longer, the 25/30 mins he plays isnt due to his fitness, it is down to the back row playing big minutes. So you would rather Jez Litten play, against Roby, Walmsley, Amor, Scarsbrook and get battered and potentially ruin his confidence?

Expect Shaul and Taylor to be rested.

Awww c'mon Bumps.
I can understand you're still a little bit peeved about Mrs B calling you out to the board as a bare faced liar, but we've just won the CC at Wembley for the first ever time, let it go man.


We are prepared to forgive and forget the things you appear to have got so badly wrong.

As Bumpy apologised or admitted he was wrong about those things yet?

There's more chance of Woolworths reopening in Withernsea.
I covivially enquired about the [ipetition[/i whereabouts a bit back but he must have been busy.

If only we could go back to the heady days of 2x6th placed finishes and getting within reach of the top four.

Not seen a crowdfunding bid for a statue of Radford yet. That would seem an appropriate way to make amends.

Id rest as many as possible, then go again after this week .
I don't think it can be overstated how much physically the game on Saturday must have taken out if them. Never mind the emotional aspect.
Add to the fact Saints have had two weeks off as well.

That was my view but the club maybe think that we're in with a chance of winning. I'd be amazed if we do and for the good of the rest of the season would rather have rested more than we have

I thought Houghton said he wanted to play to carry on his consecutive appearance run?

Perhaps Radders has pulled rank? It'll do him the world of good to have the game off.
Would also rest Taylor, Ellis, Minichiello for sure and perhaps Pritchard.

Please, please, Uncle Graham, can you tell us the story about "how you got stuck in the lift" at Wembley, 2016, again. Please, pleeeeeeaaase

I'm not sure I'm ready physically/emotionally for Friday yet, and i'm only a supporter!

Couldn't we get him a new tooth?

Radders has said leon will captain the side tomorrow night

The mother of the family we got stuck with fortunately had provisions.
It was pork pies and party sausages until Stevenage fire brigade arrived at our hotel Jeffrey.

So true!

Why? Two points puts us in a stronger position. You talk about "free hits" and the "long game". Cliched nonsense. Lose the free hits you talked about earlier in the season and we are currently third / fourth with no guarantee of a play off place.

perfect week would be widnes pull off a suprise win tonight, we beat saints, catalan beat warrington

But we are guaranteed a playoff place.

A loss tomorrow and the worst that happens is we're second, a point behind the top. That's assuming Warrington go to France and win, which is a pretty hard task following Catalans week off and a battered & bruised Wire side.

Then we still have Wire & Wigan to play to re-earn that top spot, and we'll do so with our best players fresher and ready to go.


Having said all that, the 17 tomorrow (even if a couple of big players drop out) is still capable of beating Saints.

Good move and the correct one by Radders to give Pryce the captaincy for tomorrow.
