That's what happens when you field weakened teams against "lesser" sides.

Some on here should take note.

With the greatest of respect to Riley our kicking game to isolate Tomkins worked a treat in the semi and Riley is certainly no Tomkins.

Don't quite get this - Yes, we all know Tomkins is a more talented Rugby League player than Riley, but we also all know that Tomkins is distinctly average under the high ball, so targeting him is an obvious ploy. Riley however isn't weak under the high ball.....So why should any plan to target Riley be as successful as the one to target Tomkins?

Same happened to us with London (Harlequins) before the CC final against Wigan... then we got stuffed by Wigan. Here is hoping to the bad luck charm London have teams before the final... but I doubt it.

I think breathing down players necks should be outlawed, they could catch a virus or something

Would i be right in saying Riley will be playing on the left wing? If so then he'll be facing BJB which doesn't present the same challenge as facing Hall under some high bombs, i know BJB took a beauty against Wigan but he's not as prolific as Hall at claiming high attacking kicks against his opposite number. It'll be tough though for Hall to get as much joy in that department against Joel Monaghan at Wembley.

Yep, he'll be left wing. It's clear though that we've spent an awful lot of time in training on those crossfield kicks this season, so BJB's extra height will probably be something we look to exploit.

Leeds should stroll past us but we have seen before how Leeds tend to bottle it in these big games and I fear you will do it again.

"We choose Leeds"

Will Wire be copping a ban for fielding an under strength side ?

Dear Leeds,

If only you’d played like us (last night) in the semi against Wigan.

Instead, you completely buggered it up. You see nobody deserves to lose 3 Challenge Cup finals on the run…. and instead we could all of been happy when the Wire inevitably beat the Pies at Wembley.

Yours truly,

Wires, Wolves, Whatever!
