| If Watkins and Briscoe play surely it's best to keep them together.

Not sure if Mulhern can play, he picked up a one match ban from the last academy game. However the u19's match is the day before on the Saturday so wouldn't that count as his ban done?
Think after McDermott's interview that Peacock, Ablett and Delaney will definitely miss this one and given that we still have a good hooking combo in Aiton and Robbie Ward then he really should rest Burrow if his groin isn't 100%. That BJB isn't available makes me think he might still go with Hardaker, and wouldn't be surprised to see Sinfield still out there. No mention of Leuluai carrying a knock even though he seemed to be struggling at times in the Wire game.
Interesting to note that whilst he confirms the obvious (that we could all pretty much guess his starting 13 for Wembley) he does claim that bench spots are still available and they'll be some forwards who'll have the chance to fight for the Wembley shirt. Sadly I think it's probably more to do with the backrow option (Sutcliffe may well play halfback vs London so could give the likes of S.Ward, Achurch and Walters a chance to take his place from the semi).

| We all know that the squad for the final will be
16. [TBC]
17. [TBC]
So the question is, who gets those three bench places? We want 2 props and one back rower.
Available props: Bailey, Kirke, Achurch, Singleton, Mulhern
Available back rows: S.Ward, Clarkson, Achurch, Sutcliffe, Walters
Given Singo is the nearest thing we have to Kylie, I'd strongly back him to start. Leaving one place for a prop. Achurch & Bailey are of questionable fitness, and we're expecting JP to do 60+ minutes, so we don't need to risk someone not fully fit. Kirke most likely, maybe Bailey.
Back row is most difficult, think Sutty is first in line here - has that X factor and ability to do something with ball in hand that Ward seems to have lost. Achurch if he's fit is probably worth it, Walters has also done enough to justify it.
so I'd expect the three remaining bench spots to go to Singleton, Kirke/Bailey and Sutcliffe.

| I can see Sutcliffe missing out at Wembley, and those three bench spots going to Bailey, Kirke and Achurch.
Still, missing out on a Cup final as a teenager didn't do Sinfield any harm.

| I suspect Hardaker and Watkins will drop out of that with Aiton or Bailey given the captaincy.

It's going to be some effort to get a result at London with that squad IMO. Fingers crossed. Having lost to Bradford, I think we need to get a win at London.

would you select Aiton on the bench or at all or go for size or an extra back rower?

Think how hungry London will be to just to get a win on the board.

Hardaker
Briscoe Handley Watkins Hall

I hope they've put Handley and Watkins the wrong way round there. The Watkins/Briscoe axis needs more game time, not less.

| Quote: thebloodbath "would you select Aiton on the bench or at all or go for size or an extra back rower?'"
Aiton on the bench is a close call for Wembley. I would want Sutcliffe on the bench as utility cover and at the moment I think Singleton has earned the 3rd prop spot. Aiton has put in some good tackling stints as a back rower but for the Final I would be tempted to not to pick him as we have others that can share the acting half back role should Burrow get injured. So I would go with either Stevie Ward or Walters and one from Achurch/Bailey/Kirke based on their performance against London.
Much will depend on the weather forecast as if fine and dry we may want a bench that has speed and mobility rather than size and power as Cas will perhaps spread it wide at Wembley particularly if they are without Huby and Millington.
However I think Brian Mac will stick with experience and having Aiton come on from the bench at 9 allows Burrow to go roaming.
