is grayshon available?

Nope


Best to stick with the same team from the semi

The only query here is whether Vark starts or is on the bench, but on form, this should be the starting 13. Vark has been playing really well lately, and Doran and Duffy have come in and earned bench spots. Good option off the bench as well, Hartley can play many positions, Duffy can cover half back and hooker and Kav and Doran can play in all 5 pack positions.

Getting excited now!

Flynn replacement half time ?? only if we have got a bit of a lead.

Links very well with Mr Love

Agreed and I think these pair are ideal to come on 15- 20 mins in ??

Duffy made a massive impact when he came on against Fax

Id stick with the winning semi team, that seems to be our strongest side

I'd link well with Toa playing centre.

Having a winger on the bench is a waste mate unless like a Gavin Dodd they can play acorss the backline.

I'm losing abit of faith in Flynn (still one for the future for me) but against Doncaster he came in far too much to take drives and it got abit boring, though I understand he was trying to impress to play on Sunday.

Argh does he ??

I could not make the Donny game but it sounded as though he linked well with him but after watching the Fax Semi Dean does not look at his best at the mo.

Having said that a good few weeks of training hard and wanting it might be the key for Deano " you can`t touch me " Gaskell

I cant fault Gaskell in any game ive seen this year, he's also one of the most marked players in the divsion so he gets even more respect from me. You can guarantee nearly every coach who prepares against us will have him down as one to watch from the play the ball.

I think Paddy will get his chance again when Penny goes back to the Wire. It wasn't good for him playing in a beaten team earlier in the season. Hopefully we'll get even stronger, and that should help bring him on. I'm convinced Paddy will get better and better.
