Fez1 is right about attacking down kings side. He is out of his depth and an excellent defensive centre in evans has been shifted out to the wing to accommodate him. Even in our easy semi final win, wakefield scored two tries and made several clean breaks down his side. I dread to think what your backs could do to him!

Too close to call IMO. If we can defend well in the middle and stop them getting a quick PTB and the roll on from their dummy runs then I think we have the measure of them but it's forecast to be hot so it could be a big ask to defend that well for 80 minutes. I think our outside backs are better than theirs and we need to be kicking to their wingers and not ratchford.

He could be in for a torrid time if he's defending fonua's side although I wouldn't be surprised if smith moves evans back to centre

I really, really, really hope you're right. But he is too stubborn to bring back penny or lineham so it looks like king will play. Plan your homecoming celebration now

No chance, we'll never win at wembley. I think someone even made up a song about it.
Agree about smith though. His arrogance is probably his biggest weakness and probably cost him a cup win in 2005

Totally agree that Evans should be played at centre.

Pretty sure Westerman will be ok, didn't look to be hobbling when he came on the pitch at the end, anyway win or lose I just hope it's a great day for all fans. Of course a win will make it better but just enjoy the day.

Well said, either way its a great day out. I remember mixing with the wire fans at Huddersfield in 2013, some great banter.

And this is why Rugby League is the greatest sport, not only great to watch but the fans can have banter with out belting Shiite out of each other unlike our round ball friends.
