That's about the strongest squad he could have named, Vagana and Boothroyd would have probably both got in if not injured

Not much new to glean from the squad is there, aside from all the ‘maybes’ - Thornley, Griffin, McGillvary - included.



Personally still think we should go with 1-13, with Doyle, Uele, Rodwell and Kay on the bench. Bain to miss out through no fault of his own.

Griffin must have got the all clear from his consultant to play, so I imagine he will play second row, the club maybe will keep monitoring him and if they feel he isn't right then I imagine Rodwell will play in his position and Bain will come into the match day team

Sheffield Eagles name their squad for Wembley









Don't know much about them to be honest but I'm guessing that will probably be the best players available, one or two of our old Boys in there

That's a strong squad.

Their halfbacks are very good and will cause us some problems.



They have a few older players who will see this as a last hoorah and give it their all.

If we let them play they'll punish us.



Forward dominance is going to be key for us.

5 old boys. All will want to make it a day for them to remember.

Imagine Hansen will play FB, with 2-13 otherwise. They’re going to need a miracle.

It's also going to be a last hurrah for some of our older heads too

There isn't a single player in that Sheffield squad that would get in our side. Skybet have got us on -20, I think we'll clear that.

1-12 off the level. The bookies aren't often wrong. Let's hope they aren't this time

For a regular league fixture, I would agree but, this is a cup final.

If we get early points, we should go on for a comfortable win but, Sheffield will have a real dig early doors.

We have to expect a tough, tough contest, fans and team alike.
