The heavens are alighning.The rugby gods are with us.

After this post are you going to add a 3rd sentence about rugby Gods?

They were both training today, Westwood had strapping on his knee mind

they should only play if 100% fit.....ISWT (although we don't want a repeat of last years game with Leeds when we played Benny W at 80% and Brett at 75%)

Both sides have played over 30 games of rugby in the last 6 or 7 months - I doubt there will be a single player from either side who is '100%' fit come Saturday night.

I agree you don't play anybody who is crocked, but at this stage of the year, you have to take calculated risks on key players, and Carvell and Westwood are both definitely that.

No point them being fitter for the Grand Final if you aren't actually there.

Slight problem with the old iPad Internet connection. It's the computer gods they're not with me

Is Westwood as important to us as Roby is to Saints? Just a thought.

I'd have no problem taking a calculated risk with one player, but I would worry about risking both. Lose one of them in the first few minutes and we're up against it, lose both and with only two fit interchanges left on the bench the game could be as good as over.
