Presumably he has forgotten the team also included

Blaymire, George, Korki

I think he means the CC Semi in 2008 against Hull at Doncaster. Hendo is the only player at the club now who played that day but Blaymire and George were both at the club then but didn't play in the semi.

Was Korki not at Cas in 2008?

Yes I posted that, then realised he was probably talking about the CC Semi-final and so dleted my post, but obviously it didn't delete.

Good job I don't work with computers.......Oh, wait a minute...

I can't recall the team so much (so help there would be good) but I was wondering how many of that side would we have back now? Based on their current form, not how they were then.

So as an example, would we want Side Show Bob back on the wing? Would we want Rooney back?
Just interested to see what people think as we have lost so many, was it better overall to do so?

Rooney infamously didn’t make the team!

But off the top of my head I would have Brough, Drew (if he were still in a position to play) and Wilkes back in a heartbeat.

Squad was...
Blaymire, Blanch, Atkins, Reilly, Rooney, Brough, Drew, Sculthorpe, Ferres, MacGillivray, Demetriou, Obst , Petersen, Bibey, Henderson, Wilkes, Leo-Latu, Golden, Moore.

oddly enough, King and Tony were missing for Hull

Wakefield: Reilly, Blanch, Demetriou, Atkins, Petersen, Brough, Drew, Sculthorpe, Obst, Moore, Ferres, MacGillivray, Golden.
Replacements: Bibey, Henderson, Wilkes, Leo-Latu. .

Hull FC: Sing, Briscoe, G. Horne, Yeaman, Raynor, Washbrook, Dykes, Dowes, Berrigan, Thackray, Manu, Tickle, Radford.
Replacements: Carvell, Cusack, Hall, Houghton.

Referee: R Silverwood (Dewsbury)

Oh yes KK, remember the Rooney thing now.
From that team I'd have Ferres back, Brough obviously but I think that is it.
The other players who were heroes back then like JD and MacG are no longer playing so discounting them I'm happy enough with the current crop. Atkins would obviously add to our fire power out wide but right now he isn't right for our team. Better off at Wolves.

Funny that when you look at the other team, who went on to Wembley, many of them are still in their starting lineup but they've changed 7 as far as I can see.

Why wasn't Fergi playing? Was he injured? Sure he was playing at that time.......the memory is going with old age I reckon.

It was all badger chavs fault.

He he he. Good old Badger Chav.
When I saw the thread title I thought the interesting fact was going to be an explanation as to why a top level rugby player is unable to actually pass a rugby ball. Thought he might have some kind of long standing wrist injury or somet. Ho hum

Hendo doesn't need to pass, he just bulldozers through any would be defenders, no matter how many there are.

Hendo = Legend!

I loved his quadruple movement when he tried scoring against Wire!

I used to think he was pretty pants years ago but I've grown to love him....every team needs a Hendo.

He still is pants.

Oh yeah, I think I've just grown to love his pants-ness.

Crikey!! I remember a few seasons ago he could not stop passing the ball; usally in front of his own sticks! Thank goodness he has got rid of that habit!! Now what a workhorse!!

Looks a tidy side, Golden, Ferres and Blanch out, Fergie, George and Morrison in maybe.

Spot on!! I could never justify his inclusion, mainly down to stoopid things involving him in front of our own sticks, however i cannot knock him one bit over the last couple of seasons.
Workmanlike is an underused and little respected word (or amalgamation of 3 words).
Top Man Hendo!!!
