The duck wouldn't use 'faux' when he has 'down'.
But what the heck... if you think I've 2 accounts, no issue.

Cryotherapy unit at Wire’s Padgate base today and Austin seen walking around without a limp and doing some exercising. Looks like he may well play on Saturday but whether he will have full mobility........
Wire fan (coming in peace) For what it is worth Charnley, Hughes and Ratch will 100% play, Austin is truly 50/50 (I think he will play but he wont be 100%), I for one hope it is a good game and a great spectacle for the sport, just hope we dont put in the kind of performance we have been the last few weeks.
Of course I want a Wire win but overall I want Rugby to win, on paper could be one of the closest finals in years, in reality could be a cakewalk for saints.
Good luck and safe travels to Wembley
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
Might have been written by a footballer about football - but never a truer word............
No Austin in the Warrington squad.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
I’d have been more suprised had he been in their 19 to be honest. Still expect him to play.

Ratchford wasn’t in the semi final squad yet played at Bolton so they do have history with this.
Makes a mockery of the system really.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
A while since I've read up on the rules but I recall the 17 can include 1 x player who wasn't in the original 19 ?
Would be rather pathetic on their part if he's playing and not named in the squad.
Yeah but that was babies being born and sickness with youngsters draughted in wasn't it?
I'd say the 19 man squad for a final is pointless as it should be the coach/club's choice who is featured. It's not like teams are going to field a team of kids in a showpiece final (unlike Bradford on an Easter Monday).
For what it's worth I'd expect all the players that have sat out the past few weeks, for both teams, to feature.
Isn’t the point of a nineteen man squad to have remaining players available for selection in case of any injuries? Unless there’s three injuries in the space of 48 hours, which is unlikely, should teams not be forced to go with what they’ve named?

Hopefully when they fitted Lomax's suit this week they made an extra large pocket to put Austin in for the third time this year. I wonder who will have to come up with a mysterious last minute injury to give up their Wembley dream for him
