Dont shout the messenger very weak bench ..

What the betfair forum??

must be true, never known you to be wrong

Its on the BF forum and my mate txt me who knows the person who wrote the bit on BF ive just been informed ..

So your mate knows Paxo the featherstone supporter aswell then?
If its true,then Grinner will only be playing 3 players out of position

Bridge on the wing and Hicks in the position?????

The bench is weak (in terms of prop forwards) - I'm surprised there is no Rau in the team (not that I'm that fussed about him).

Can't see why, if Higham is fit and Clarke isn't, why he'd start with Bridge at stand off and Vinnie at centre - I think he'd have to go with Bridge at centre, Monnas and Higham rotating at hooker/stand off in the same way as with Clarke, and have Vinnie off the bench as replacement hooker as in Barcelona.
Also, I doubt he'd leave Rah out and use McCarthy - I'm not his greatest fan, but they have a BIG pack, so we need his size, and he played him in the semi, so I don't think he'd leave him out of the final.

no clarke????it`ll make some people on here happy

no chance of higham making it. he told us last week when he was signing autographs at game. so someones telling porkys then.

How can u no the team... i bet tony smith aint even sure yet

exactly

What did i say ?? dont shout the messenger i for one hope this aint our team ..

shoot the messenger boy instead then.

I take it King and Hicks are definitely in then and all this rubbish about Hicks' poorly finger keeping him out is just that?

Mitchell deserves to get in ahead of mccarthy, this is just a wind up.

This will be placed on the BF website if true to prompt gamblers where to place their bets. Wait and see what team Tony Smith picks later in the week.

Not too far off tbh.

If thats the team above i fear the worse, the backs look weak given that so many players in the team above will be playing out of position, Bringe on the wing lol, thats a waste given that he is one of our main strike threats, i`d rather have Johnson on the wing and Chris Bringe at centre and thats coming from someone that isn`t a fan of Paul Johnson.

The bench also looks weak with just one prop, then you have the enigma that is Paul Johnson, even if Micky Higham has made a miraculous recovery i can`t see him being fully match fit for a game of this level as per O`Loughlin in the semi final for Wigan.

I`d rather wait till the official squad is annonced and see how it stands then.

Precisely. Who knows where Chris Bringe will play on Saturday.

As long as he plays at Wenbley, all is well!

Come on Bringe!

Big congratulations to Tyrone McCarthy - despite what some may say it was always a case of finishing his studies until he got his chance. The club has done right by him.

Also great for Riley and Cooper as local lads also representing the town at Wembley. Bring the cups back HOME lads.

Great site, lads.


Bridge at 6, VAnderson and King Centre, Riley and Hicks on the wing.

Not me!

Clarke is crucial, he can do a job at half back and stops the back line from having to be chopped and changed.

I will be a lot more optimistic if I see his name on the team sheet.
