I know. He'll still get kicked to ahead of of Monaghan and Hodgson every time.

We promise not to play like that again if you promise not to play like London.

Best thing that happened to us, reminds us games are won by hard organised work by the whole team, not hard work by 13 individuals.

Waste of time, he catches them all week in week out, thens run hard in open play, often coming up with a try. Please include a Riley kicking plan on Saturday Mr McDermott.

This weeks games will have absolutely zero influence on next week, just like our defeat to London last year didn't.

Lets see how good he is when Hall and co are breathing down his neck!!

And what is the 'real wire'? I'm slightly confused. Is the the same Wire that have won a couple of Challenge Cups in like 50 years??!

That's what happens when you field weakened teams against "lesser" sides.

Some on here should take note.

With the greatest of respect to Riley our kicking game to isolate Tomkins worked a treat in the semi and Riley is certainly no Tomkins.

Don't quite get this - Yes, we all know Tomkins is a more talented Rugby League player than Riley, but we also all know that Tomkins is distinctly average under the high ball, so targeting him is an obvious ploy. Riley however isn't weak under the high ball.....So why should any plan to target Riley be as successful as the one to target Tomkins?

Same happened to us with London (Harlequins) before the CC final against Wigan... then we got stuffed by Wigan. Here is hoping to the bad luck charm London have teams before the final... but I doubt it.

I think breathing down players necks should be outlawed, they could catch a virus or something

Would i be right in saying Riley will be playing on the left wing? If so then he'll be facing BJB which doesn't present the same challenge as facing Hall under some high bombs, i know BJB took a beauty against Wigan but he's not as prolific as Hall at claiming high attacking kicks against his opposite number. It'll be tough though for Hall to get as much joy in that department against Joel Monaghan at Wembley.

Yep, he'll be left wing. It's clear though that we've spent an awful lot of time in training on those crossfield kicks this season, so BJB's extra height will probably be something we look to exploit.

Leeds should stroll past us but we have seen before how Leeds tend to bottle it in these big games and I fear you will do it again.

"We choose Leeds"

Will Wire be copping a ban for fielding an under strength side ?

Dear Leeds,

If only you’d played like us (last night) in the semi against Wigan.

Instead, you completely buggered it up. You see nobody deserves to lose 3 Challenge Cup finals on the run…. and instead we could all of been happy when the Wire inevitably beat the Pies at Wembley.

Yours truly,

Wires, Wolves, Whatever!

Dear McDermott

Please play Brent Webb

Yours sincerely

Someone who needs a laugh

HAVE

Im OF the conclusion only people with no banter bring spelling up

well if he doesnt theres something wrong with mcdermott and sinfield...made up we are playing you guys and not those from up the m6 by the way you lot are getting beat 12-0 with a near full strenght team..watch those injuries now

This.

Look at it more positively, the experience that guys like Riley, Bridge, Atkins, Ratchford, Myler, Wood, Monaghan, Morley, Waterhouse, Grix, Hill and Solomona got last night will be invaluable in giving them a taste of Super League and now they know what they need to do in the future.

We chose Leeds in clubcall because you had been crap all season till you played us.

A fact that had not been missed on this forum...
