Get real, Griffin is currently in great form and we don't need to watch the replay to see what happened because it was right in front of us. Why don't you just support the team and the man picking it. He seems to be doing rather a good job at the minute.'"
We all have our opinions on players.
There are plenty of fans i know and some on here who also think Griffin is a weak link at centre.
He has no guile for a centre
no real pace flat footed.
Passing leaves a lot to be desired
Never gets involved under a high ball
His biggest problem is he cant tackle.Some of his tackling efforts are really poor.Even Salford fans told us of this when he signed.
At least Yeaman had a defence and could tackle.
No doubt the cuddle crew will respond with their usual gusto with just how good Griffin is and how he will be pushing Percival or Watkins for International honours |

Bag of nerves already. It felt like destiny last year, which is easy to say in hindsight I suppose. Just not the same now, we've been far too hot and cold this season.

Very Similar numbers of carries tackles busts tackles pens missed tackle as Carlos
Carlos is good
Griffin is sh#t . People seeing what they want to cos a few got the idea going but don't watch with their own eyes

Regardless of who was playing, Child is not good enough for the Championship, let alone the CC Final! |

Even early on in the season he wasn't nearly as bad as some made out. He had a couple of wretched games (as did the whole team), but he was mostly ok. With ball in hand he has looked one of our most threatening all year. For the last couple of months you could make an argument for him being our best player. |

The referee won't have any baring on who wins the game, but for a spectacle I do hope it's not Child. Way too whistle happy. If it is him hopefully he is told just to let things flow. |

If Wigan adopt the spoiling tactics and interference at the play of the ball i hope he does anything but let if flow. Get em penalised. Also walking forward off the mark into the markers as they play the ball. If we get over the top of them and get them on the back foot then we need to be allowed to take advantage of that,not allow them to slow us down for the sake of not 'letting the game flow'. |

Just refereeing to the rules will do me,fair for both sides, my pet peeve this season is the disparity between the tap restart , some refs wait for all players to be onside, some not, and some change within the same game! First time in a long time I've seen touch judges on the field at Saints, usually they can't even run the line properly! |

Unfortunately, letting things flow where Wigan are concerned means every tackle is round the head and accompanied with a rake and laying on. We can deal with that as we did in the semi last year but as a rugby fan it won't look good on telly at all. |

Just hope we can pull one out the bag as we've been rocks and diamonds all season.

What a pity. I came on here hoping for some good to and fro about our final and the first thing I read is this one eyed codswallop. Think I'll leave it there though I'm sure most on here are better educated about the sport than you appear to be.  |

Discipline is key
You could see from the kick off in last years final that discipline had been drilled into the players.We cleared the ruck quickly and didnt give away too many penalties
More of the same on Saturday please. |

Shaul
Fonua
Connor
Carlos
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Watts
Manu
Mini
Ellis
Bowden
Washbrook
Green
Thompson
We can't afford to have Washbrook AND Connor on the bench, Connor is back up goal kicker and has being more effective than Griffin for the majority of the season. It might sound harsh on Griffin given his later season form but we don't have the luxury of leaving a back on the bench potentially for most of the game, not IF Washbrook is there which is almost 100% certain.
If you have Connor on the bench and Griffin in the backs then who misses out?

Presume we'll be using last season's build up as our blueprint.
Nice to have no injury/disciplinary/team selection distractions nor the 'but Hull have never won at Wembley question' this season.
I think the Huddersfield match will already be long forgotten and our 17 will be just fully focussed on Saturday. They also know they'll have our absolute backing throughout the game.
I'm quietly confident and can't wait. |

I'd rather have Connor or Griffin on the bench then Thompson, if we have another forward I'd go for Fash.
Team will be the same as the semi.

Absolutely - same team and subs as the Semi-Final :Connor Green Bowden and Washbrook the bench. Griffin has been our most consistent performer over the last 6 weeks. Mahe Fanoa owes his team and the fans a massive performance on Saturday - been under par the last three games he has played! |

Mahe will deliver. He's a big game player, remember he was instrumental in both of our tries last year. Have faith!! |
