How many times do you think that will be mentioned in the commentary - iI'll go for zero.

However should Warrington have a last minute injury I guarantee they will be crippled by injury which will be mentioned every five munutes.

Hang on a minute we are not Wigan, you must be confused.

Relax karetaker, you've just got a feel for our "chip" on our shoulders.

The issue is with the RL media not other RL teams HTH

We can do it! Already beaten a few of the big boys this year when they were in-form.

We absolutely must complete our sets though, if we play like we did vs Cas then we will get walloped. Need to play the percentages and put the onus on them to make the errors.

Whichever way it goes, I'll be pleased for whoever progresses to the Final. Wire have been a good friend to us down the years, some great memories at Wilderspool and the HJ. If they progress, I hope they beat FC or Wigan in the final.

If it's a Wire v Hull final it will be the 1st final I attend for some time without a genuine dislike for one of the teams.

Personally I think our injury 'crisis' is being pretty exaggerated. We're likely to line up something like:

Jowitt
BJB
Arundel
Lynne
Hall
Miller
Finn
Scruton
Moore
Fifita
Kirmond
A.Tupou
Sio

Anderson
Arona
Yates
B.Tupou

The spine of 1, 6, 7, 9, 13 is at full strength I'd say. The only first choice players we're missing are Johnstone, who while being excellent is hardly in a vital position, Ashurst who plays in a position we've got pretty good cover in and then a couple of props in England and Simon. Personally I would rather England be playing but I'm pretty ambivalent towards Simon, find him to be a massive liability at times with his poor discipline and therefore don't really see much difference between him and Anderson. So while we've got a few injuries it's certainly far from a crisis and definitely can't be used as an excuse should we lose. But I don't think we're gonna need any excuses because based on nothing other than a gut feeling I fancy us to win.

You do do you, I always fancy us to win whatever squad we put out. Up the Trin.

That's the spirit. We're the mighty Wakefield Trinity, anything else other than a 50 - 0drubbing and Chester should be out the door.
