Happy that Schofield has gone for Hudds. Bet Hudds aren't.

The biggest thing we face is that the players may think they've aready done something in getting to Wembley when in fact they haven't.

They MUST keep the focus. Hopefully that's being drilled into the by TS.
(And not come on this board or read the Warrington Guardian....)

Is Sadler from Yorkshire?

If so, I'm seeing a bit of a pattern here........

They're way ahead of us in the league and beat us comfortably last time out. It's completely correct that they're favourites.

Typical biased Yorkshire bumpkins, we've been better than Hudds all season, we're in better form than them, momentum is a huge thing in sport and there's no doubt that its going the direction of the Wire.

Prediction Hudds will be in the game for the first thirty minutes then we will accelerate away in the second half and possibly two or three late tries to Hicks and King will exaggerate the scoreline.

my mate is in league express this week, page 1

Stan James still have Wire as favourites at 8/11

Thats how i see it,just hope we are right.
i am more confident going into this game then i would be against leeds or saints.
I went to hudds away last month and wire were woefull that day,yet hudds did nt really do a number on us,if we would of played leeds or saints that day they would of inflicted a quins away score on us no danger.

Losing the way we did may well stand us in good stead for this game..

How many did we have out the last time we played Hudds.

Fairly certain it was Morley and Briers.

Were there others?

Hicks,higham..

Briers played

Huddersfield are a much better side than Warrington. You aren't struggling to make the play offs because you're a great side and IMO there has been little improvement since Smith came in, even though you worship him. They should beat you comfortably, but as neither side have ever won a final in their SL history it's hard to predict anything about the game.

Warrington have a few very experienced players who could make a huge difference. Morley, Monaghan and King in particular have played in huge games before and their calming influence and Morley's leadership could be the deciding factor IMO.

Huddersfield's team ethic alone is enough to get them through most weeks and whilst their wrap around defense is by far the best defensive system in the league, they're also far better than Warrington with the ball too. But Hodgson aside they have no big game characters who will stand up and lead the troops if things go against them. It will also be interesting to see how their defense copes with the wide open spaces of Wembley and the heat if it's a hot day.

I'm going for a Wire win by 10 but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Huddersfield dominate the game like they did in the semi against Saints.

I can take on board most of what you say but you've got to be having a laugh about the bit in red..??

Did you see us under Lowes we're like a different team now especially in the discipline of the side...

What a load of tosh..

Talk about sitting on the fence!

Why? You're what 9th or 10th in Super League? You've won about 50% of your games with Tony Smith at the helm, including the CC byes?

I'm not sitting on any fence. I've gone for Wire by 10. Bet placed. I've even put the eggs on the patio to ripen for the homecoming

Front page then?

the bookies have huddersfield as underdogs

I think it shows the pure eveness of the final this year. I hope it is.

Well according to saddened we have only won50% of our games and we have Tony smith at the helm,and we are 10th in the league.......
That pretty much makes wires the underdogs don t you think??

Heard it all before fck them

Bookies had Huddersfield at 12-1 before the saints game so what do they know anyway

Good bet that, We are the underdogs by a country mile ,Huddersfield form leading up to the CC final and before has been outstanding there position and our position in the league doesn't lie or have p&b specs on,We will have to rely on Huddersfield freezing on the day and us stepping up 10 levels our league form has been nothing short of pathetic and if we hadn't done as well in the CC I presume people would have been calling for Smiths head by now !

50% under Smith this season is more than 0% under Lowes this season.
