posted on our and bulls board that wigan could rest players against catalan, a week before the cup final, could be an advantage to catalan!

Sorry but, of course Wigan will rest players the week before Wembley. I would be amazed if Hull don't do exactly the same.

I dont think we will see wholesale changes like wigan will, we take salford for granted it may cost us a play off place. Maybe dj and ellis may be rested but not many others

Ive found myself not even caring that its a derby at the weekend, given the fact FC have made wembley i dont really think they will care as much either. The thing for me is a home game and 2 possible points with 4 games to go. The more important thing is FC's points difference, was already massively in front, Widnes staying at home didnt help, so if we lose we go to 8th.

I couldnt care if it was Wigan, Wire or FC at home on Sunday, the only important thing is 2pts to keep the play-offs going, then we go to Leeds, which we always start well and fade at, they have injuries so its possible we could run that close, then end with Widnes and London, not impossible we win the next 4, but in turn could also lose the next 3 (London at home in possibly Dobson's last game we should never consider losing, no offence to London).

Mommentum, just so happens after losing the last 2 away from home we now have 2 home, 2 away. Must win for me, be nicer to beat them but they have found some form at last.

Exciting, isn't it.

Sorry, what is?

That battle for 7th spot. It's almost taking my mind off the Challenge Cup Final.

Why? Are you crapping yourself?

Sorry, I meant I'm very excited about it. Trip to Wembley again, massive exposure for the club, chance of silverware.

Can't wait.

Ha ha, neither can I.

You've every right to be excited it's still a massive day in the RL calendar and a wonderful occasion.

Doesn't mean there's nothing else of interest left in this season and the forthcoming derby is probably one of the most meaningful of the Super League era second only to the play off game of 2010.

If Rovers win they have a realistic chance of finishing as high as 5th and although you don't get a trophy for that it would certainly be a fantastic achievement for a club of our resources and especially after all the talk of our demise.

For you Wembley is of course more important but I still don't think you want to finish 9th to Rovers 5th or 6th.

Didn't bother them in 2009 when we finished 4th and they finished 12th. Sorry to say there was no challenge cup final appearance that year, either.

Let's look at the success of the 2 clubs since rovers were last at Wembley.

Why not look at their success since FC were last there, not done too well have you?

1 challenge cup, same as sheffield worse than widnes, doesn't sound great when you say it like that.....

Widnes haven't won the Cup since 1984, two years before you last made the final.

Only four clubs have won the Cup 2+ times since 1986 - Wigan (9), Saints (7), Warrington (3) and Bradford (2).

Why are you turning every thread into a Wembley thread if you go on the Hull board they have nine million of them should be enough to keep you going

Have you got a thread started with gentle leaves at the end of the season

Maybe if it happens, ginge. It's only The Daily Star saying it at the moment, hardly a bastion of journalistic excellence.

Is it another case of Pearson running off at the mouth again same as his comments about Seymour, when deep down he knows nothing about Rugby League and some Journalist has overheard his comments.

Brilliant!

Nah.
