Keinhorst deserves to play in this final over Achurch. The last 2-3 months proves that. What has Mac seen in the KR team that makes him believe MA is the better choice?

we don't know how training has gone this week. achurch could have been flying and keinhorst poor/ like you say it must be hard telling any player he's not playing.
i'm just glad singletons in. the lad deserves a Wembley appearance

keinhorst is steady, works hard and his good lines. I think Achurch can be a bit of a luxury player but does offer something different when running wide and offloading

I think if he bulks up in the close season and makes second row his position he could be a good player. wigan targeted him and he struggled to handle it. just wasn't big enough

Achurch plays then! Keinhorst drops out. I feel sorry for him as he has give it his all and for the most part played well. But has had some frailtease in D.

Keinhorst has been better when starting in the second row. When he's come off the bench, he isn't an impact player and he wasn't going to start ahead of Ablett, Ward and a fit Delaney. Therefore for me Achurch is the right about. That said, Keinhorst has really impressed and with a good off season should be pushing next year

I think all of us on here would second that.

Keinhorst doesn't appear to have the physical frailties that Achurch has though?

I second that too

Keinhorst also has good hands and a rugby brain and runs good lines.

Just so we all get this straight! If we lose we are not gonna blame the omission of Keinhorst?

Good call

(Unless an obvious scapegoat arises during the game)

Achurch is the better second row option. Keinhorst is unlucky to miss out and offers better versatility. Tough close call to be made by the coach could argue either way

Unless Achurch has a Marcus Bai moment.
