I like this option the best.Too late to start experimenting with an out of form and sorts, Webb so close to the final.
For me,Webb would only get considered if we got an injury to a three quarter,but i do have a gut feeling Mac will try and squeeze him in.I would like to see a team as close to the semi side as possible though.
fingers crossed no more injuries at the Cats in a game which takes on some significance after recent results.

Agreed my preferred option is B but like you i can see a desire to get Webb involved. Whatever his back-up plan is he should be playing it against Catalans. With 3rd/4th back in contention i expect a full strength line-up even in the forwards with Peacock, JJB returning. McGuire even if given the all clear from the worst, probably won't be risked though i imagine.

| It would be a big call to leave Webb out of a big match if he's fit, but Hardaker is very much the man in form at 1, and Ablett at centre, where I am becoming increasingly convinced he'll end up playing as first choice.
But, as Tad says, let's see who's healthy after the Catalan game before hanging shirts on pegs at Wembley.

| Really it's almost irrelevent who lines up 1-7 for Leeds, we know we have the personnel there to do damage if a platform is created by the forwards and that's the question mark on this game for me, if our forwards can hang with the Warrington pack on that particular day.

| its not irrelevant who lines up 1-7 for leeds, if 1 of mcguire, sinfield and burrow doesnt play for leeds we look lost, even if our forwards match wires we would find extremley difficult. Mcguire is essential to our chances in my opinion!

| Ward/Burrow at halfback for me - Webb at fullback or not at all. Webb's strength is chiming into the line and throwing the odd good pass. I don't think he's ever been convincing as a halfback.
The rested forwards have to play against Cats I would have thought, or else they'd not have played for 3 weeks before the Final.
My preferred approach would be to pick a full strength side and really go for the win in France, as to me that is by far the best way to prepare for a big game, especially with Wire having just played Sts and Wigan in consecutive weeks and built some very impressive form. Going through the motions won't do any good in terms of confidence, preparation or - quite often - injuries.

| Now with Mags' confirmed absence for the CC final i wouldn't be surprised to see Webb at 7 but i wouldn't have him at FB with the way ZH has played there since his switch.
Wrad and Burrow remain options at 7 and imo RB is still very much a good 7 which would put Lunt at 9 to start and Ward in the BR or on the bench.

I'd be happy with this. I hope Brian keeps his opinion that we should leave a concussed Burrow on before we put Webb back on!

| Like how Webb is judged on a similar scale to the Anti-Christ by some on here.
'fickle' doesn't even cover it.

| Absurd the lengths that some are going to to keep our most creative available player out of the line-up.
Semi-Final team with Webb at half-back. Absolutely obvious selection.

| Losing McGuire is a big blow.
I have said previously that Webb should slot in as his direct replacement at HB .... As he was meant to be doing at Wakefield, before we discovered the farcical actual shifting around of postions on the field to accomodate Webb back at FB.
There can be no doubt room will be made for the prodigal son to return.
Alternatively I would shift Burrow to SH ( with the command to jump into DH often and regularly ). Promote Lunt to starting hooker and leave that room on the bench for Webb.
If Burrow starts at hooker, Bailey should be starting LF with Ward on the bench, otherwise the reverse, if Lunt starts at hooker.

| I might be way off here...
but is anyone else thinking we should recall Liam Hood ASAP? (if possible)
If we pick up another injury - to any one of Burrow, Sinfield, Lunt or Ward - at Catalans, we'll be very skinny on pivot players.
Just a bit of insurance and (I know he's been away for a while) surely better than considering playing an out of form fullback out of position?
As for Webb - I really feel for the fella, as he's been a great servant to the club. The only problem with him is we never know what we're going to get. It's almost like he has a multiple personality disorder. One minute he's an attacking genius, setting up wonderful tries. The next, he's a petulant child, swinging at people's heads, gobbing off, sliding in with his knees and doing his best to single-handedly give away penalties/scores. If only he had a better temperament, he'd be nailed on for Wembley.
