So, now, as all round robin games have been played, we know the top four teams.
These to play in the semis. A left leg and a right leg.

Steelers, as top seed, could choose the venue, for some reason, they chose Nothingham!
Oh well!

Storm as home team for this leg.

Doesn’t sound like Muse will be available for the semi-finals, think we have to go with Warburton?

Manchester are going to play a high-intensity, physical game so we’ll need to be disciplined and not react to provocation.

Hopefully Lundell Noer & Klavestad remain out from a selfish point of view, will be interesting to see how we play in the first truly meaningful fixture.

Fox's interview today said that Muse may play. Wasn't giving anything away.

I wonder if Muse had an existing injury that was aggrieved?

I think the disastrous webcast & subsequent delay was a big contributing factor.

Steelers make 3 changes from the side that beat Manchester last time out.

John Muse returns after icing just 34 minutes of the first fixture. Warburton backs up.

Beaudry & Connolly back in after being rested.

Manchester make two changes from their loss to us

Lundell Noer & Klavestad back in after missing the last game.

Late change to our line up. Liam Kirk can’t shake off his injury and is replaced by Bálint Pákozdi.

Big blow. I like the Eberle, Mikyska and Dowd line. Was surprised to see Balint scratched initially for A Jones but maybe missed out due to experience or lack of.

I hope giving Kirk the extra 2 days, helps him be ready for Thursday...
