| This game for me is a 50-50 0ne with plenty of motivation for both sides with a day out at wembley in the final for the winner. If we play as we have done in the league of late then i can only see a London victory but if we can reproduce some of our cup form from this season then there is no reason why we will not win. Fingers crossed it is the latter and i will go for a fax win 12-28.

| As Terry says an absolute 50/50 shot this. Who knows which Fax will turn up but it's definitely a winnable game. The team are going down on Friday which is a big plus, we just need to put in a basic solid start as we did against Newcastle and hope for a bit of luck on the day. It's a big prize for the club, let's hope they claim it. Unfortunately we're not going down so hopefully there is a pub streaming it somewhere. Up The Fax!

| I see London as favs for this game, maybe 65/35 somewhere around there. Our record down there is awful and they have hit a bit of form, think they are the 2nd form team in the league at the moment. I think we are capable of winning it but I feel its unlikely at the moment.

| Does anyone know if the 1895 finalists get any "prize" money? In fact I've no idea if there's any prize money for finishing in the top 6 either. In the old qualifiers system, there used to be a huge cash incentive hence why it was a disaster to miss out.

Not sure about the 1895 cup but at this years fax fans forum Stephen lambert jokingly said to Tom inman that his 40/20 for York in the playoffs semi finals cost us 40,000k

| Crikey, we nearly had a Michael Olswick situation (not sure I've got his name right!) by selecting Crooks in Saturday's squad, having to withdraw him 'cos the RFL say he's cup-tied. Nice of them to tell us, otherwise we could have been disqualified just like before when a cup tie was postponed and had to be surrendered to Batley. I was just yards away from the Shay when I found out it was cancelled!

Strage one as Fleming played against us for Fev in the 1st round as well.

Don't speak too soon. Last time we won in London they took the two points off us! Lol!

Adam O Brien played for Huddersfield against Salford as well in an earlier round so surely he's cup tied? Hope the club are reading this as we might get disqualified even if we win!

On a technicality AOB was the challenge cup rather than 1895 as his team was not eligable for that comp where as Fleming and Crooks were both certainly classed as 1895 cup games which makes the RFL ruling baffling.

Thought with the 1895 being a spin off from the CC the same rules might apply. AOB has had a chance to get to Wembley with 2 different clubs.
Good point about Fleming. Very good point. He was definitely on the bench for fev when we played them. Better not pick him just in case!

| The club have mentioned on FB that it only applies to those who played in the 5th round of the challenge cup which was classed as the QF's of the 1895 cup. We beat Fev in the 3rd round so that explains Fleming being available. Keighley got to the 5th round losing to Batley, hence why Crooks can't play. The odd one is AO'B - he played in the 6th round, but this is the first round the SL teams came in. I am guessing the ruling is that he has not played for a team that qualifies for the 1895 cup - but who knows?

| According to Facebook after his MOM performance last week Tom Inman has been left out of the team. On the plus side that must mean that JWH is fit to play.

If that's correct it's ridiculous. We'll see.

| Grix the master tactician. Couldn’t be happier for the club as a whole, I think it’s reward for everyone attached to the club . Walmsey is a legend.

I was disappointed for Tom,but Moore went very well to be fair,so I have to hold my hand up to Grix on this one.

Yeah I thought Moore went well when he came on. I think we saw a little of why grix was hesitant to play JWH at half back though as he was not his normal attacking self and you will lose that when he takes up a more organising role like he did today. A very good win and I thought we just had that extra bit of class or as it were a game breaker in Lachlan Walmsley. Truth is though I think we knocked the win out of their sails in the first half and we looked well on top in the 2nd. Hopefully we can take a few down to Wembley and it will be something to savour especially for anyone who has either not seen us at Wembley or for the younger ones who have not had chance to see us in a final.

| In very difficult conditions most disciplined performance from Fax that I can remember in a long time. Wasn't sure about Pickersgill but thought he was excellent,Tangata best game for a while and Brandon Moore has seemed so much better last 2 weeks coming off the bench. Won't labour the Grix situation - suffice it to say that I was absolutely delighted for him - not a bad totally committed display for a coach who according to several on here had lost the dressing room!
