Warrington, but hopefully the horsies won't let them win at a canter...

The real winner will be me if I manage to stay awake the whole game.

Wire are resting players aren't they? Tony Rea has London playing as something of a unit again.

Wire by 18.

Crowd sub 1,500.

Fury.
Cheer up, RL is actually rather good

I am looking forward to watching this in person. I think it could be a good game. Wire will win but I think London will be competitive at times. London certainly look a much better prospect now than they did a few weeks ago.

Tie-breaker; Eddie to mention "the distraction of the Cup" thrice times more than "selection headache". London to feature less in the commentary than Wigan.

I'm off to this tonight and think it could be a good game with wire just edging it - difficult to know who I want to win as I would normally be cheering for London but if they win then Cas are pretty much nailed on for the wooden spoon.

I'll go for a Wire win 32-26 and a crowd of just over 2,000
Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in.

I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try

Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen

The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

Wembley places up for grabs - If Warrington start like a house on fire - London 18 Wires 52

If London play as a team with confidence ( as per last 2 games) - Much Closer London 24 Wires 32

Possible Wolves team for tonight based on the 19 man squad:

1 - Riley
2 - Atkins
3 - Bridge
4 - Blythe
5 - Williams
6 - Ratchford
7 - Myler
8 - Morley
9 - Higham
10-Hill
11-Waterhouse
12-McCarthy
13-Grix

14-Monaghan
15-Wood
16-Cooper
17-Solomona

Despite the number of changes, it's still a pretty strong team, looking forward to seeing how they go against a London team who have improved in the last few weeks.

Cooper, Grix, McCarthy and Bridge are all 'on the edge' of Wembley with a chance of getting in (or falling out of) the final squad.

I think we'll perform tonight and give Smith a few more headaches.
Astute analysis from a Wigan fan:

Rumour going around Headingley that Wire will have to play the second half with 12 men.

It seems that they forgot to bring the half time oranges, and Solomona ate Chris Bridge instead.

Don't know why he was hungry, as he looked as though he had eaten the whole youth team before the game started.

few weeks ago wire by 50..but tony rea influence? wembley thoughts?

on the other hand any wire who is borderline for selection will play their heart out tonight. Me thinks Smith will pick 4 forward subs at wembley? Big chance for Cooper/Grix/Mccarthy...McCarthy has been in really good form recently..

Yep - in general the 'fringe' players have been very good, I'm hopefuly they will be again this evening.

Bridge in particular is at risk of becoming a squad player with the likes of Ratchford challenging for his spot.

Territory and defence wise Wire doing well, then mess about with chargedowns and offloads and gift them the ball in our half.
