All very worrying, I must say.

Not good news at all.

Is it mind games before the final?
Hodgson would of been rested anyway.

With the greratest of respect to Jammer & Fatz, one of them out would only be a slight blow. Both out would be an enormous blow.

Hodgy & Wild out - doesn't bear thinking about.

I suppose for one of the first times in his life, Sculthorpe D will be the first name on the team sheet!

I wouldn't be too worried. I'm sure I once read somewhere that a side has to play it's strongest possible side if fit, otherwise the club have to announce what the 1st teamers injuries are. Hence why so many of our regular 1st teamers have picked up 'injuries' this week
I'm pretty sure St.Helens were under investigation a few years back cos the week before a final, all of a sudden their star players were injured and couldn't play yet played the week after. Think they played Catalans away the week before Wembley and lost 24-0 if memory serves me right.

Amazing how many times these "1 week" injuries appear just before a final.
It known as SHS. St Helens Syndrome.
They will all clear up in time for Wembley. Don't worry.

Jammer's is a recurring injury.

Wild's is a recurring injury.

Fatz has been troubled with this earlier in the season.

Only Hodgy's is new - as far as we know.
