Washy has to play for me, same with Connor. Thompson based on last night has done enough in my opinion. The only thing I'd consider is Fash for either Green or Bowden. Would be a big call, but don't think Fash has let us down at all this year, been really impressed with him.

I can't believe anyone would think about not playing Bowden, when fit he has been excellent and at least on par with Taylor.

Agree on Fash but Bowden must play for me.

I think Griffin's been very good over the last few weeks.

Griffins has been our best player for the last 3 weeks!
Don't get the Fash fan club. He does ok when selected but IMO Matongo has more impact when he plays

I feel the same with Masi, but we've probably not seen enough of either in the first team to get a proper idea.
Agree about Griffin. His try last night was brilliant. Great strength.

| Same team as the semi final for me.
Fonua has always been a rocks or diamonds type of player. That's why I'm not sure if he will pick up regular NRL game time. Wouldn't be surprised to see him back in super league after a couple of years, same as Rankin.

What are your reasons for dropping Griffin? Presumably because he's not Kirk Yeaman?
He'd admit himself that he struggled a bit at the start of the season but he's been very good in recent weeks.

London Skolars and pouring partners Caveman Brewery are delighted to announce the real ale line-up for this year’s Friday Night Lights Beer Festival. Our biggest line-up to date features local brews from Caveman as well as appropriately sourced ales from Challenge Cup Final towns Hull and Wigan.
London Skolars and pouring partners Caveman Brewery are delighted to announce the real ale line-up for this year’s Friday Night Lights Beer Festival. Our biggest line-up to date features local brews from Caveman as well as appropriately sourced ales from Challenge Cup Final towns Hull and Wigan.
The Line-up
Hull Beers
Great Newsome Brewery
CORN DOLLY: Brewed with copious amounts of wheat malt, this clear, golden session beer has hints of Orange and a smooth biscuity finish (3.9% ABV)
FROTHINGHAM BEST: Dark amber robust best bitter. Aroma of raisin fruit and hazelnuts. Modestly bittered with resin hop and peach fruit tones to a sweet finish (4.3% ABV)
Wigan Beers
Prospect Brewery
SILVER TALLY: A clean, pale golden yellow beer with citrus aromas, a dry bitter sweet balance and full hop flavour. (3.7% ABV)
WHATEVER: A pale, straw coloured ale blended with four different hop varieties to give an intensely hopped clean flavour and a grapefruit aroma.
London & South East Beers
Caveman Brewery
NEOLITHIC: A hoppy pale ale with a straightforward malt character that really lets the citrus, grapefruit and pine flavours of our heavy hop cmbo shine through. A refreshing session beer for a summer’s day. (4.1& ABV)
PALEOLITHIC: A light session beer with a high dose of aromatic hops, well balanced and very drinkable, this is a local favourite. Sweet malts balance out the grapefruit and citrus from the US cascade hops to produce an easy drinking session ale. It’s then dry-hopped to add a bit of punch and aroma.
NEANDRATHAL: The Neanderthal remembers when best bitter was the best. This beer is Caveman’s recollection of that, full of roast and caramel malt flavours and traditional Kent hops. (4.4% ABV)
Far and Wide Beers
Titanic Brewery (West Mids)
PLUM PORTER: Dark, strong and well rounded: the richness of such a rotund beer is brought to an even keel by the late addition of Goldings hops and natural plum flavouring. (4.9% ABV)
Thornbridge Brewery (Peak District)
LOOK NORTH: Manchester Style beer that pours a light golden colour. Bracingly bitter and dry. Made North has light malt aromas and flavours of earthy, floral and very moreish English Hops (3.8% ABV)
This is by far our most expansive festival to date, come along to responsibly enjoy these beers, the perfect accompaniment to great rugby league.
As well as the beer festival, bbq/street food & live music available.
Early bird tickets at £12 (normal £15) & combo CCF ticket included at £25. Buy here now https://www.eventbrite.com/e/friday-nig ... 4390930198

Great strength, good finish, gave us a bit of hope going into the last 15. That did it for me. A highlight from a game with very few to choose from.

Probably longer than 3 weeks. That try last night was a pretty special individual effort tbf
I like fash. What boggles me more is the green bashing..only forward that make more metres a carry is Taylor. That's more than mini watts Ellis Bowden Manu included. Tidy with his low errors etc as well. Utter shoe in with Bowden off the bench. Be real shocked to see anything else

If he didnt ground the ball correctly and the try was not given then everyone would have said he bombed a try and should have passed the ball to Talanoa.
A good centre would have pulled in the defender and put the wing away for a walk in try.
I am not saying Griffin hasnt improved over the last few weeks but the level from where the improvement has come was very low.
I have no doubt Radford will play him at Wembley but he will be our weak link and Gildart will run him ragged.
I would like to see a bench with four forwards but if everyone is fit its likely Connor will be on the bench.
For me Connor is a far better centre option than Griffin and Griffin off the bench probably offers more impact used in the back row than would Connor

Sheer rubbish that imo. That's finding fault were there wasn't any. It was fairly tight when he got it..defence was already coming across. He squeezed in with millimetres to spare..he ran because it was the best option. Tala would of been run out of field easy a man was already covering him.
Griffin in recent weeks has been among our best. Whilst up against good players. Not sure what rationale you're using to make the assumption Gildart will run him ragged
His stats back up he's been no where near as bad as made out for the year as a whole. He makes more metres a carry than even Fonua..with some new found confidence him and Fonua are gonna be keeping Gildart honest as much as anything
Fonua is the concern regarding form currently
Connor is perfect for the bench
Can cover any injury 1 to 7 and is a genuine plan B player who if things are going pear shaped could add something. Could be a luxury if we're winning..but then it won't matter then
