| Am guessing that the players rested against dewsbury will be available for selection next week and a lot of the team selection is pretty much nailed on, I think but could be wrong that griffin is available, suspect none of the guys given a chance yesterday will force there way in. For me the interesting one is Doyle v Kay
Personally think we ll line up something like this :
Jowitt
Jerry m
Pratt
Thornley
Walmsley
Lino
Gale
Bowden
Hood
Atoni
Ashurst
Griffin
Pitt’s
Bain
Uele
Kay
Rodwell
Doyle and olpherts - both of whom I wouldn’t be dissapointed if selected

| It sounds as though Griffin is 50/50 so if he doesn't make it then I would move Pitts into the second row with Kay at 13 and Doyle on the bench.

Yes he’s going for an assessment under hia protocol , but be suprised if he doesn’t play

| Feels like it’ll be between Doyle, Kay and Bain for two of those three bench spots. Kay offers more cover if someone goes down injured. Doyle obviously a more natural replacement for Hood (and Hood could potentially fill in at half if Gale tweaks his groin). And Bain could be really effective coming on in the middle, but hasn’t really been part of ‘the journey’.
Suspect it’ll be Bain who misses out. Doyle to come on with Rodwell and Uele 25 mins in. Kay to come on in the middle for a bit if all goes to plan. Or if Griffin’s still out, Bain will get a bench spot too with Rodwell starting in the second row.

Pretty much how I see it.

Me too, Doyle Deff to spell Hood, Uele and Rodwell for impact and Kaye for vesitilaby.
Not nice, but in some respects good you have to leave someone like Bain out.

Exactly but only because of the number of games. That said, if Griffin isn’t fit then Bain would come straight in.
In truth I’d be happy for either or any of the team to get a go. Not one player who’s pulled on the shirt this year has put in anything other than a shift.

It's a case of deja vu. Back in 1979 our then no. 11, Bill Ashurst, was 50/50 whether he played or not. They played him but his injury showed with a very below par performance.

| The Sheffield result means nothing in the context of the final.

| That's about the strongest squad he could have named, Vagana and Boothroyd would have probably both got in if not injured

| Not much new to glean from the squad is there, aside from all the ‘maybes’ - Thornley, Griffin, McGillvary - included.
Personally still think we should go with 1-13, with Doyle, Uele, Rodwell and Kay on the bench. Bain to miss out through no fault of his own.

| Griffin must have got the all clear from his consultant to play, so I imagine he will play second row, the club maybe will keep monitoring him and if they feel he isn't right then I imagine Rodwell will play in his position and Bain will come into the match day team

| Sheffield Eagles name their squad for Wembley
Don't know much about them to be honest but I'm guessing that will probably be the best players available, one or two of our old Boys in there

| That's a strong squad.
Their halfbacks are very good and will cause us some problems.
They have a few older players who will see this as a last hoorah and give it their all.
If we let them play they'll punish us.
Forward dominance is going to be key for us.

5 old boys. All will want to make it a day for them to remember.

| Imagine Hansen will play FB, with 2-13 otherwise. They’re going to need a miracle.

| There isn't a single player in that Sheffield squad that would get in our side. Skybet have got us on -20, I think we'll clear that.

| 1-12 off the level. The bookies aren't often wrong. Let's hope they aren't this time

For a regular league fixture, I would agree but, this is a cup final.
If we get early points, we should go on for a comfortable win but, Sheffield will have a real dig early doors.
We have to expect a tough, tough contest, fans and team alike.
