I think that 16 of the 17 Wembley places available are already sorted in Tony Smiths mind and his only undecided spot is between Tyke & Simon G. I don't think that either Coops, Matty B or Bridgey will get a spot.

I think the team will be

Brett.
Riley.
Ryan.
Ratch.
Joel.
Lee.
Richie.
Moz.
Monas M or Mickey H
Gaz
Trent
Super Ben
Benny H

Mickey H or Monas M
Hilly
Woody
Tyke or Simon G (I really don't know who TS will go for)

I'll go with that, although like you I can't make my mind up on the 17th and 18th man. Probably just Grix for me, purely on versatility.

Went full Length for castleford again us, Atkins couldn't catch him.

My 17/18 exactly
Why Hill coming off the bench?
I'd start with him in place of Moz
Hill is our no 1 prop and has coped with everything that's been thrown at him

I think I would start with Moz and big Gaz....with Hilly off the bench....big game experience needed for the start of this one.

I know HiIly has dealt with everything thrown at him so far...I just wouldn't want the occasion to get to him at the start...could be costly.

Agree, the starting pack must be imo

Moz, Monas, Carvell
Westwood, Waterhouse
Harrison

Hate to disagree, but starting pack for me....

Hill, Higham. Carvell
Westwood, Waterhouse
Harrison

Moz & Monas from the bench

I'd start with

Hill, Higham, Moz
Westwood, Waterhouse
Harrison.

Hill solid as out, and I love the impact Carvell has after twenty mins or so.

Fully agree, Carvell running at more tired players this year has been great.

Higham deserves to start on this seasons performance. He has been v.good.

Agreed. He has been very good and I was completely wrong when I wrote him off as finished. Deserves to start, important he starts and his new deal as well. Michael Monaghan off the bench? Cruel - on Leeds (assuming he's fit enough).

For me

Hodgo
Joel M
Ratch
Atkins
Riley
Briers
Myler
Moz
Higham
Hill
Waterhouse
Westwood
Harrison

Carvell
Mick M
Grix
Woody

I'd start with Higham as he always seems to bring energy to the ruck which will tire out the Tykes defense and allow Monas some ball time when he comes on. Same at the start of the 2nd half with Monas on for the final 25 mins.
I'm easy as to who should start in the front row between Moz, Carvell and Chilly. I'd just favour Moz so he can lead the team out as club captain (could he do that if starting on the bench?) and Carvell on the bench as he does bring impact when entering the fray.
I'd also have Grix over Tyrone as he brings some cover for the backs which we won't have if the bench is all out-and-out forwards. Should any of Hodgo, Myler or Briers get injured then Ratch could cover, with Grix moving to centre. With Tyrone on the bench then I'd assume Westwood would move out to the backline, and I'd rather have him in the thick of it for the whole match.

Its a tough call between Grix and Tyke. Grix is still getting back to form after the injury, but I think I would favour his experience and ball handling skills to Tyke.
Either way we are in the luxurious position of 'fine tuning' a very good squad. I am really looking forward to the 1st 15 minutes of this match, and to have the likes of Morley or Hill coming on as interchange is mouthwatering.

Morley starts for me, hopefully with the same forceful running he did at Stains, weeks ago.

When he's done 20 mins, let Carvell loose (make sure his last meal is Thursday, he'll be hungry by then), and trample all over a certain Leeds "hardman"

You, sir, are a racist.

You've obviously seen my "I dig Enoch" t-shirt on my washing line....damn
