this list and your user name on here seem like a perfect fit....a big ask.

IMO Saints will do to us what we did to Leeds when Hicks scored his hat-trick = 30+ points win for Saints.

I think we’ll give them a game for around 50/60 minutes, but the big pitch and lack of fitness/morale/structure/form will take its toll and they’ll open up an embarrassing lead in the last quarter. ‘Plucky’ wolves not outmatched in desire, yada yada yada.

Remember we threw EVERYTHING at them in June and couldn’t get it done. Expecting more of the same but from a battered and bruised, patched up side.

So on paper, easy victory for us then. I don't give us a hope in hell but bigger upsets have happened. I'm just going to enjoy the day.

this sounds about right

My missus persuaded her to "rip the plaster off"! and get her brother to open them - no more waiting and dead chuffed with the results.

Hope it all went well for your daughter too

Isn't the HJS slightly bigger in playing area?

Yes

Yeah all good

Hopefully the Wire have a projected grade of 3(D) and turn up with an 8 or 9 (A*) on Saturday

Note the old school grades for clarity of which there was no reason to change.

Ratchford
Lineham
Goodwin
King
Charnley
Livett
Patton
Hill
Clarke
Cooper
Currie
Hughes
Davis

BMM
AK
Philbin
Clark or BW
There's enough utility players on the team to cover for backs
Clark won't lose his spot to Westwood although I believe on this one occasion Ben would give his all
So Pricey should give him the perfect stage to hang up his slippers

Always makes me laugh this, the pitch is the same size as the HJ.

Wembley = 105m long x 69m wide.

HJ = 100m long x 68m wide. With a 7 metre dead ball area at each end.

In two of the league games, the games were even in all aspects until we had a man sin binned.

But our form has dropped off since then and we are busted in the fitness department.

But if the whole team can pull the game of the Summer out of their back pockets, we can remain in the game and give ourselves a chance.

Your overlooking - "the lush surface that really saps the energy from your legs" - "the raw emotion and overwhelming occasion" - "the hairs standing up for the National Anthem" - "the first hit up/tackle to get over those nerves" - "references to Watersplash, Catalan's last year, Sheffield in 1998" - "camera pans to Colin Welland, Michael Parkinson, Johnny Vegas and maybe Bradley Wiggins and Stuart Pearce"

Don't we all love a good Challenge Cup cliche - or should we resign them to the dustbin ?

Nervous energy
Rising to the big occasion
Tear up the form book
And RHP getting in the ‘kin way when you’re warming up

Price has confirmed that Austin will definitely not play and has suggested currie, livett, ratch or Hughes? To play there or a combination depending on how the game goes

classic

Hughes to play at half back?

- "camera pans to Colin Welland,

Colin has gone to the stadium in the sky we all end up in eventually

Sorry, no offense meant - just a reflection of how long it's been since I last watched the BBC CC Final coverage

There is talk of Jack Hughes at #6

Remake of The Prisoner?

If that happens then Price has well and truly lost the plot!

He was a regular at Warrington when Jiffy was a Wire.

Park of me thinks he already has.. drop in form in the last 2-3 months, current boring style of attack, terrible squad discipline, continues to pick his favourites, transfer of players under contract whilst going through an injury crisis, signing a 32 year old cup tied half back and his post match jargon/excuse are getting worse.

Regardless of the result tomorrow I wouldn’t be to bothered if he went to Newcastle Knights next year.
