The only thing I would do is switch Bowman and Thacks, this might raise a few eyebrows but 1) As I mentioned in the predictions thread, we need to include some more elements to our attacking game - attacking drills, inside and overlapping players etc - and Bowman - on the odd occasion he's played/started at halfback - has carried out those moves and created opportunities. 2) We've got to be realistic and ask, who makes more of an impact off the bench? Thack's running game could be such a useful weapon off the bench, bring him on just as players are starting to tire and tell him to exploit his running game.

Concerning the White/Rettie battle, I really don't know who to pick. Rettie has pretty much been faultless all season and is so strong defensively in contrast to White who's been a bit suspect. But on the other hand, we all know White's attacking game can game changing at times, so I really don't know.

i just hope featherstone go into final thinking they have already won it .... when i read some off the stuff they put on totalrl forum .. They seem too be getting a bit carried away with there status as a club .... if mark campbell has 2nd thoughts about his investment in the club they all be on there .. don,t go mark we love you mark you fev though and though mark ..... i just hope its a good final and the REF and VIDEO REF just give the correct decisions on the day .................

At the start of the season I'd have expected our defence to outshine our attack.

Looked a little soft around the goal line and we need to fix that. Shame for whitey if he misses out but feel our bench must have three big boys to bring on. Fev have a clearly strong team who are hard to keep knocking over so bring on the muscle but start with our fittest, possibly strongest two props to match them early

Bring it on, not long now

Thackeray as water man might be a waste as well..

That would be my 17 for this paticular game.
White can cover all the backline positions and has played 7 before coupled with that extra yard of pace and his experience just gets the nod over AB.

No Thacks !

You got to give ging dong his due - given the irony that Ging dong spouts more brown stuff than anyone alive and is to culture and sensitivity what Openheimer was to urban development - he kind of hit the nail on the head with his post!!!

I can't read mate


Yes Thacks in the starting 13.
I can't count either because without him there's only 16


He was the one missed from JV's team line up.

Whitety in for AB.
