| Apparently Radford has confirmed subject to injuries he knows his Wembley 17 barring one bench spot.
Sneyd and Tuimavave will be the halfs,
My bench would be Bowden,Green,Pritchard and Hadley as tonight
It would be tough on Washbrook but another strong game next week from Hadley may swing it for him

| Washbrook is a shoe-in from what the selections have been so far this season, but I agree, I'd rather we left him out. Still not sure on Pritchard either the lack of attacking threat from Yeaman is a concern, yes his defence has been good but attack wise he's average.
Looks like JA won't be getting a place in the Wembley 17 then from what you've said.

Not sure about Washbrook as i think another strong performance from Hadley next week will see him get the final bench spot.
It would be tough on Washy as he has performed well above most peoples expectations.
I agree with what you say about Yeaman but he will play at Wembley.

I haven't seen the game but he's not even getting the embers started this season never mind setting the world on fire. Did he put 'his' winger away then all three times and how many minutes did he do?

| Think I'd have Washbrook on the bench. Been solid and dependable throughout the season and offers adequate cover with minimal disruption to the rest of the side if we get an injury in several positions.

| I think it's 2 from Hadley, Pritchard and Washbrook. Pritchard's quality but I'm a big believer that full fitness is a massive requirement in big games due to the defensive intensity required, particularly against a team like Warrington. Washbrook has the runs on the board, Hadley fresher? Suspect Hadley will miss out.

Defensively Washy is great and Hadley is so solid but if we are trailing with ten minutes left its Pritchard who is going to get us out of our half even if he's not fit. On top of that he seems to have a positive effect on players when he's on the pitch and rolling. I think if we are going to win a final then Pritchard must have a hand in it.

| Sika's injury on Thursday could mean Hadley plays anyways, don't want to risk a player with a dodgy hamstring as he could be out the game after 5 minutes.

| Pritchard will need to play big minutes this week and be a bench player for Wembley. We need him there, simple as.

| does anyone seriously thinks radford will leave frank out?
he attracts 3 or 4 tacklers most of the time, makes metres and is capable of breaking the line
most importantly, he has played in big games

This.
I am surprised what some expect from Frank and yet cannot see how big an impact he has.
He is an X factor player which as you say, takes 3 or 4 tacklers to bring him down.
His place at Wembley is safe as houses.

I agree with that, he's been played too much down the middle for me but mentally the team is better on the field when he's out there!

I'd like to him play big minutes against Catalans to boost his fitness.

And those big minutes should be out wide. We've got enough big guys in the middle.

| I've got to say, I agree about Pritchard needing to play away from the ruck. I'd rather have two twenty minute spells of him trampling over their off half and centre and pulling the defensive line out of shape than him trundling up the middle for sixty to eighty minutes. We have a formidable front row to break down their middle superbly aided by Ellis. I'd have both Frank and Mini running wide to take as much as possible out of Warrington's very fluid and threatening back line.

| For a big game you play your big name players - provided they are fit. Pritchard on the bench for me.
