The 2 injuries on Saturday could prove to be a blessing in disguise as I think the first 13 picks itself now. Smith doesn't need to decide who to leave out in Carney, Hicks and Riley.

The biggest decision Tony Smith now has to make is who to play on the bench. Does he go with Rauhihi coming back from injury without a first team game in a long while, or does he go with Mitchell, who has been playing well in his absense.

For me, providing Rau is fit i would go with 2 props (Cooper and Rauhihi), a utility player who can play hooker, stand off, back row or Centre (V Anderson) and a utility player who can play Second Row, Centre or Wing (Johnson). that means every position will be covered if we have an injury like Saturday.

I am sorry that Carney got injured as he seems a real nice bloke and was doing some good things. But I have to say that I am glad Riley is back. I feel he has earned his spot in the team for Saturday and I hope he does well.

I have a really good feeling about Saturdays game, don't want to tempt fate but feel we can beat Wigan and get to the final, heres hoping.

Score predicition 26 - 18 to the Wire.

Agree with that apart from Rau. Can't afford his ludicrous offloads if it's tight. Would rather see Johnson in for his versatility if nothing else.

If Rauhihi doesn't make it and we went with 3 props (Morley, Carvell and Cooper) Do you think we will play another forward as an interchange prop (If so who?) or will he just rotate the 3?

I didn't notice, but how did we do it against Leeds?

harrison or westwood will probably do stints, mind if you think about it smith's doing with harrison pretty much what cullen did with his looseforwards up to signing Vanderson.

Would Carney of been eligible to play, wasnt he signed after the CC deadline

Wouldnt want you to do an Hull
