Is Tony Smith going to make the same mistake as 2005 by playing an unfit player in the final. Higham has not played for 3 months yet smith has put him in the team.

As for today, I would have strongly fancied Hudds. but I think they made a big mistake last week at Stains - some of their players have not really had a decent game since the semi. Warrington can score points and on the day I think they will win by 12.

I can't see anything other than a Warrington win;

Score 26 - 18. Two drop goals from Briers, including one in the first half.

Chris Hicks MOM.

My strongest recollection of the day was travelling on a coach full of Featherstone fans and there being a strange aroma there and back.

People rightly talk about Sheffield as being a massive upset in '98 but Fev' in '83 is right up there against the Airlie Birders.

Huddersfield 34, Warrington 24

It was alleged yesterday on BBC News 24 that the 'Warrington' coach had sent a text to the Sports presenter and said 'he had a face for radio'.

Weird moment all round but it allowed the anchors to chortle and give fullsome praise to their fellow broadcaster.

Huddersfield 34, Warrington 24

Huddersfield 14-6 Warrington

The Huddersfield defence should see them through today
