What a great position to be in. A fully fit squad going in to a major final is a luxury few teams have had. It's makes it even better that nobody on here can agree to leave out. What a dilemma for Radford. I don't envy him making that decision.

Someone mentioned that they heard Watts will face a late fitness test. I'm guessing that's not likely, as he's been on Twitter begging for help at finding a certain pair of new boots to wear for the CC final.

As stated the starting 13 picks itself and so does the bench for that matter barring one spot. One thing is though who ever does take that last spot will not let the team down. I'm edging towards playing Washy just over Hadley.

your right its between washy and Hadley, id have Hadley but wont be to upset if its washy

Keep changing my mind who'll be on the bench
Just can't see LR not playing Washy. Think he brings versatility as well as dependability .
Bowden, Thompson and Hadley all deserve a spot so it's really hard. Think Hadley might have pinched one though.

Teams been named at least the players know early which I think is a good thing . Pritchard , washbrook, Bowden and green are the subs . Hadley 18th man

Fingers crossed no injuries in training or other random events a la Shaun Briscoe.
Now it's about mindset, we know they have the skills/physicality, just need to get that onto the pitch on the day and even if we get behind a couple of scores stick to what we do best and don't panic.

That was my bench and 18th man.
Dont think many will be disappointed with that selection

You'd better keep it to yourself in that case

Why

In case tony smith finds out. Plus if sneyd breaks his leg or something then don't post it on here or there will be a meltdwon

What do you think tiny smith or any other coach reads stuff on here !! Or actually believes what's written .... Really

They read it all the time and you're classed as a grade A source of info

Ok maybe , but I reckon most coaches kind of know what the opposition line up is going to be , especially in big games with not many injuries . Don't really think there's no surprises in hulls team , but I would have played Hadley instead of green , but radders knows best I guess .

Personally my bench would be

Washbrook
Bowden
Green
Pritchard..

Hadley is unlucky, however there is no need to have 2 backrowers on the bench,
as Mini & Manu play long minutes.-IMO

Washy is a must.. he can cover,halves,hooker, back row, and centre if needed to be..

With the weather due to be warm on Saturday, the props will need to be rotated ,more regularly,
and I feel we are a better side, with 2 props from the bench.

What's the deal with Leon Pryce?

I'd kind of forgotten about him - is he injured or just out of favour right now?

... he played for the U23's last weekend.
