Branighan is widnes bound next year, him and black for the halfs. Holroyd on the bench.

6 - Holly
7 - Black

9 - Penky / Beswick

Cant see Branighan getting in the team for the final after Holroyd's performance.

Return to your projector Vikingwoman.

We need to kick Fev to death and continually turn their pack around as well as tackle, so i go for Holly at 6 to take us around the park on the basis of last nights performance. However, to leave Luke out would be almost incomprehensible. I personally wouldnt want to make the decision but for a change its a welcome dilema for Calland.

I would bring Brannigan back in - he is one of the main reasons why we finished so high up the league. Who to drop out is the problem though.

Knowing Calland, Branighan will be playing. But I really think it would be a bad idea to change the team.

If branno is fit he has to be in the 17 no question.

Put him in at loose man instead of Barlow.

I'd drop White and put Patto back on the wing making room for Branighan at centre.

I know we have to pick the team that will win the final and there's no room for sentiments at this stage but if Branno is 100% fit (and only if he is) it would just be wrong and unfair to leave him out of the Grand Final after what he's achieved this season.

A 100% fit Branighan gets picked for me. No questions asked.

But Holroyd destroyed Sheff last night!
And Black ... Well he's goto to start surely!

Aye, I never said drop them 2 Blueandwhite's suggestion about dropping White to fit Branno in sounds good. I'm talking about the 17 btw, bugger knows at what point to play them and where, but I ain't the coach

White had a belting game, wouldn't be right to drop him. And to put Branighan in at centre.... couldn't see that working.

Anyone that gets dropped from that side last night would be very unlucky.

I would have Branno in the side though, we played well yes, we are caperble of playing like that at any point against anyone, Branno not being in the side was just a coincidence

I agree with most of the comments in this thread, it's certainly a dilema.
I suspect injuries may play a part in team/positional selections as they have done for quite a while. I wouldn't want anyone missing the big day through injury, but I also want us to win the cup. All of the guys who came in for the Sheffield game upped their levels for sure, but we need to go a notch higher to beat Fev, they get off their defensive line very quick & close us down, but playing them on a slightly bigger pitch will certainly help us I reckon ( where's the "hopeful" icon ? )
