No Vallerand, Neumann, Simpson. Dowd not certain.

Should be a good game, full strength steelers then would go for a definate victory for us but bodies missing then very even between them. Keefe is very good tactically and knows how to play us,,,,, but i feel we will still be victorious,,, good luck lads

They are 3 massive losses to our team, can see Harper getting extra minutes and Vinnell playing as well.

Said that if Greenfield plays to the best of his ability, then Steelers will win the Playoffs & I stand by that.

Steelers 3-1 Giants

Personally I'm gutted that Sir Marco of Vallerand won't be playing in the Final & even more upset for him if that was his final action in our colours.

Need to sort out two decent offensive lines if possible and see what can do with the rest.

What's wrong with Mr Simpson? I've not seen or heard what's happened to him.

With all our injuries at such short notice Belfast should easily win this one.

All we can hope for is the Steelers team spirit to carry them over the final hurdle.

We deserved the win yesterday, but it's going to be tough today with so many missing.

I would have fancied us at full strength, but there's a lot of quality sat in the Queens Medical Centre this morning (I was told Watling also went off injured at the end, but will have a pain killing injection).

What I will say is that this team continue to keep surprising me. At 2 - 1 down against Guildford and picking up injuries i turned to my mates and said we were done........then bish bash bosh.

Belfast have to be favourites, but you just can't count this team out. They're certainly going to get the support they deserve....the futures bright......the futures

Reminiscent of the final against Cardiff with Levi Nelson having pain killing injects then breaking the Devils hearts by scoring the game winning goal in OT.
Can this team muster up one last performance to do the same?
They certainly have the heart and character to do it but they may need a little luck along the way.
Fingers crossed.

We saw the character in the team yesterday, blocking shots and finding a way to win. The best Steelers teams of the past won with their backs against the wall and fighting through adversity - now it's this groups turn.

Go make history boys!

Vally and Simpson are big misses. Neumann not so much as we’ve played large parts of the season without him when he was on the IR list.

Sure Dowd will play, although you could tell in yesterday’s game he’s no where near fully fit.

We should benefit from the extra rest as well.

Belfast aren’t the same side as last season and are easily beatable if we play to our best. Sure Belfast will have plenty of bumps and bruises too.

We’ve had a great season and I would have taken a double trophy win and a playoff final appearance if offered at the start of this season.

No matter, what happens we’ve enjoyed a brilliant season and look back to our best again.

If the players want to be remembered as club legends though, then the grand slam is the minimum requirement here.

3-2 Steelers.

LETS GO STEELERS!
