Don't have one of the new Bankcards unfortunately! Mine doesn't run out until next year.

Yes, they are great. They charge per journey until you hit the amount that a travel card would cost, them that amount takes over.

If you have a disabled rail card, you get 33% off the cost as well.

Talking about travelling to Wembley, after going to The Hive in Brentford last season, I'm surprised more people don't take advantage of their parking. It was so easy to get from there to Wembley, and you are going against most of the traffic on the train following the game.

I agree we did this last year & it was excellent.

Replay if needed to be at Huddersfield on Tuesday the 8th of September.

We play Saints on Friday the 4th
And Catalans away on Saturday the 12th

Pray it doesn't end up a draw then.

For your first use it might be borderline (depending on how many journeys you do and from where to where) as you have to pay a fiver deposit for the card, but after that Oyster is way cheaper than getting a paper ticket.

I'd forgotten the deposit, it's so long since I got my first one. With regards to that, people thinking of using them should also know that any money loaded up and not used stays on the card till you next visit that there London, so it's never wasted, unless you lose the card, of course.

Delaney will definitely play if fit. Mac is clearly a huge fan.

The deposit is offset somewhat by the fact that the daily cap is 8quid whereas a day travel card is something like 12.

Important tip tho...*always* make sure you swipe in and out (easy to miss post match when barriers may be open. If not you'll get overcharged (happened to the Mrs after a gig in London, fortunately we noticed the next day that her balance was like £5 less than mine and a friendly TFL chap corrected it)

Guys, you don't need an Oyster Card any more if you have a contact-less debit (or credit) card. You can just use your contact-less debit card straight onto the Oyster Card sensor and it gives you exactly the same rates and charges as Oyster. So this is great for infrequent visitors because you don't have money sitting on the Oyster Card. I understand that it debits the card the following day, after the final days journeys are all known, so they only ever charge you the best possible price.

Our 19 man is:

6. Danny McGuire
7.Rob Burrow
8.Kylie Leuluai
10.Jamie Peacock
12.Carl Ablett

15. Brett Delaney
16. Mitch Achurch
17. Adam Cuthbertson
19. Brad Singleton
20. Jimmy Keinhorst
27. Ash Handley
30. Mitch Garbutt

For me Handley and Achurch drop out. Great squad.

Yep, the only real debate was whether Delaney or Achurch would make the final 17. Out of the two that are held together by sticky tape, it's surely Delaney's big match experience that get him the nod. Maybe we could undertake a Frankenstein style experiment and take the best working parts from both players to make one indestructible second rower.

Agreed side picks itself.

I think Keinhorst will get a spot .As has been said before Mac Likes Delaney he has also said he values Keinhorst too

we all like Delaney , he was always going to be in the 17 . The last spot was always between Jimmy .K. and Mitch. A
. A toss up for me on which one but guess neither will get much game time

Could depend on who McDermott would move to centre if we had an injury in the backs. Ablett or Keinhorst? I know the former played there against Hull last week but was that just to reduce his defensive workload ahead of this week? Would he be loathed to move Ablett from the 2nd row in such a big match?

I would go Keinhorst simply for his Versatility.As said, it's unlikely either will get much game time anyway, injuries aside. So Achurch and Handley the unlucky two for me.

Hope Songleton doesn't miss out

Keinhorst, and Handley to drop out for me. If he doesn't get injured then he offers a lot more of a threat than Keinhorst, IMO.

Achurch and Handley for me too.
Achurch has had little game time these past two months.
Travesty if Singleton misses out IMO.
Much will depend on how fit Delaney is and could be replaced by Achurch in the end.
On another note I see Kelly has made the HKR squad, shock horror.

We are reading off the same page

Delaney will play and do one of his man-marking jobs on Kelly.

Also think that we'll go hookerless to start (or standoffless with Kev playing acting half) so that our defensive intensity knocks it out of Hull KR in the first period. Then bring Rob on after half-an-hour for the rest of the game.

Burrow

Would be inclined to pick Keinhorst for more utility value so injuries don't disturb our gameplan.

For me. Keinhorst offers more for me when starting in the second row rather than off the bench, but his recent performances must merit a squad place over Achurch.

There is no chance of Keinhorst missing out. Shock selection in the 2012 final, and Mac loves him. Handley and Delaney to miss out. Frog could hardly walk today!

Delaney will play , walking has never been his strength
