We must be watching different games then - DL is involved in a huge number of tackles especially when partnered with Bannister. Some good chargers towards the line. Good hands too - can you remember his last knock-on?

We need strong defenders and motivators. DL does that for Fax IMHO.

Sorry for my ignorance but why didnt he play last week?

We have so many good backs and some big forwards.

Larder is someone who does the little things in a game that go unnoticed.

he deserves to be in there.

also we could use his experiance as well.

Fev are good but are lacking in experiance in this type of game especially in the backs.

injury.

how about branighan at centre with patts on wing?
then can move players around and confuse fev altogether.

and themselves - this is Halifax we are talking about

Here's a team that will leave them bambozled long after we have taken the trophy back to the Shay.

1. Said
2. Big Frank
3. Ostick
4. Barlow
5. Holroyd
6. Bannister
7. Larder
8. Penky
9. Worrincey
10. Black
11. Branno
12. Beswick
13. Maloney

i think that should distract them

I appreciate the lolcat! At least until TS deletes it!

Makes sense, just surely you'd want him back in side? Just thought with the question marks it was a different issue. Thought was your POTY? In fans eyes at least.

Definitley needs to be in the side. Would move Holly to the bench.

I would have Holroyd Playing from the off !!! But can't not play Branno as he is awesome.

I really feel for all the boys now and also for Matt Calland, Its a goood thing to have the choice but all the boys have played their hearts out all year and for a unlucky few will not get to play in the biggest game of the year, for some the biggest in their lives so far. When the team disbands and they go to whatever clubs they do, they will look back on sunday with hopefully very fond memories.

To Everyone at fax, Thanks for the ride this year, and so far it really has been one hell of a ride !!!!

Keep going to the last !!!
