The only thing I would do is switch Bowman and Thacks, this might raise a few eyebrows but 1) As I mentioned in the predictions thread, we need to include some more elements to our attacking game - attacking drills, inside and overlapping players etc - and Bowman - on the odd occasion he's played/started at halfback - has carried out those moves and created opportunities. 2) We've got to be realistic and ask, who makes more of an impact off the bench? Thack's running game could be such a useful weapon off the bench, bring him on just as players are starting to tire and tell him to exploit his running game.

Concerning the White/Rettie battle, I really don't know who to pick. Rettie has pretty much been faultless all season and is so strong defensively in contrast to White who's been a bit suspect. But on the other hand, we all know White's attacking game can game changing at times, so I really don't know.

i just hope featherstone go into final thinking they have already won it .... when i read some off the stuff they put on totalrl forum .. They seem too be getting a bit carried away with there status as a club .... if mark campbell has 2nd thoughts about his investment in the club they all be on there .. don,t go mark we love you mark you fev though and though mark ..... i just hope its a good final and the REF and VIDEO REF just give the correct decisions on the day ................. IB

Fieldhouse, Rettie, Tyrer , Patterson, Rob, Thackery, Handforth, Ambler, Penky, Barlow, Manning, Robinson, Ashall, Gannon, Aizue, Heskith, Bowman

At the start of the season I'd have expected our defence to outshine our attack.

Looked a little soft around the goal line and we need to fix that. Shame for whitey if he misses out but feel our bench must have three big boys to bring on. Fev have a clearly strong team who are hard to keep knocking over so bring on the muscle but start with our fittest, possibly strongest two props to match them early

Bring it on, not long now

Fieldhouse
White
Paterson
Tyrer
Worrincy
Handforth

Ambler

Ashall
Subs: Reittie, Gannon, Hesketh, Azuie
18th Man : Bowman

Barlow at Scrum Half won't work



Thackeray as water man might be a waste as well..

That would be my 17 for this paticular game.
White can cover all the backline positions and has played 7 before coupled with that extra yard of pace and his experience just gets the nod over AB.

No Thacks !

Wat utter =#40FF00poo poo you type lad

[i=#40FF00Don't be naughty - triran[/i

You got to give ging dong his due - given the irony that Ging dong spouts more brown stuff than anyone alive and is to culture and sensitivity what Openheimer was to urban development - he kind of hit the nail on the head with his post!!!

I can't read mate


Yes Thacks in the starting 13.
I can't count either because without him there's only 16


He was the one missed from JV's team line up.

Whitety in for AB.

Maybe - but the use of better English wouldn't go a miss.

He's an ex -No9 Triran. I'm not sure he's capable.

I would go with White and Rob on the wings because they are very unpredictable and are faster than what Fev have and I do feel Fev are scared more of them two running the ball than Reittie. I also think we need to change things a bit and maybe get penky passing longer out to Handforth etcand then get the forwards like Barlow running from out wider rather than receiving the ball straight from Penky as they will move up quick especially around the ruck. Maybe worth using a short kick through as well if Fev move up very quickly and get Fev a bit unsure what we will do. I do feel we need to try something different in attack from last time as we had no time and space and was predictable. Just hope our defence decides to turn up for the full 80 or else we could get spanked!

I can go with culture, sensitivity ( I'm lying there ), brown stuff & Openheimer but who is this DingDong you speak of ?

ging dong??? GING DONG???? Jesus H Arkwright. Are you sure you want to know Colin???

He's an hooker of the old school - Yorkshire league player of the year (when the Yorks league was THE league) in the long and distant past. A gnawing, devious, caniving, short, fat little crapper that will annoy the botty off you, bore you witless (and I don't really mean witless I mean sh...). Like all hookers circa 1985,he's as annoying as sand in your trunks, will drawn a punch from a nun and will do anything on the blind side of the ref he can. Taking a bone off a Rotweiler is easier than keeping him quiet and he's an answer for everything and like all No9's - he's never wrong.

Look in the Oxford English Dictionary under Rugby League Hooker and there will be a picture of Ging Dong in his 1985 kit.
Look up dopey short fat gobby spacehopper and there's a 2012 picture of him!!!!!

I'm driving him to Blackpool on Saturday. My licence is clean so I reckon it'll be worth 6 points and 2 fines for doing 95mph to Blackpool just so I don't have to listen to him for longer than I have to!

Top lad. I won't explain on here why think that - there would be little point!!

Mate, 6 POINTS are so easy to come by nowadays LOL

Ex No 9 well that explains it then, there all

, our head and feed at the scrum or were not playing.

How ever much I love watching Aizue, i would change him for Reitte. You always moan haighy at a bench full of forwards. Reitte gives us an option if anything happens to our 3 quarter line or fieldhouse and whitey needs to drop back.

A team that has Aizue in it gives me more trepidation than one with Rettie in it instead of Aizue.

Is that because you are worried he will try and break another Fev player - maybe Finn or Kain?

He gives fax that 10-15 mins burst of aggression that can get your forrads on a roll. He's done it too oft for my liking. Reitte I reckon we can 'look after'. Managing Aizue has been difficult in the past. He's one I wouldn't moan about being omitted.
At your gaff, when I saw White was left out for Reitte, I felt much more confident.

I'm sure Reitte has his fans and maybe I haven't seen enough of him to making a wholly informed judgement. But if he's in at Aizue's expense, I'll live with that.

Aizue played well vs Hunslet. i think he will be in the 17.
