Of course I deliberately left that open because it’s modern times and didn’t want to offend. I wonder what a Benny Hill closing sketch would look like these days?!

Good time to play you with 6 straight victories for you (Not that we ever expected to beat you, but maybe we could have had hope for 20 minutes )

Be nice to visit an SL stadium and team again. Sounds like a decent following from us with around 2500 tickets being sold apparently. Hopefully we;ll keep score respectable and be a nice day out!

For any wire fans interested, the game will be streamed on the Proper Sport facebook page on Sunday at 6pm (and available on demand afterwards).

As expected Cooper & Crosby to miss out but both (plus BMM) should be ok for Huddersfield.

Ratchford

Lineham
Goodwin
Atkins
Charnley

Brown
Patton

Hill
Clark
King
Hughes
Currie
Westwood

Smith
Akuoala
Philbin
....Moran?

Any niggles with Ratch or the 3/4 would see Brown/Livett come in

So the squad’s definitely the full strength available? Interesting.

Not quite sure the squad has been announced yet?

I've not seen anything, but, surely this is a game for Patton, Livett, G King and big minutes from Smith?

Theres still improvement in our teams attack. There is a case for full strength less where injury recovery is required.

Sorry I misunderstood the post when it stated Crosby and Cooper missing. I assumed that the squad had been announced and the rest of the available squad was still in there... my bad.

I don't think that this case is as compelling as giving people a break and more importantly giving fringe players a chance to show what they can do in the P&B.

For example, the big season for Patton debate, how's that going to work out if we play Brown and Roberts who might be carrying a slight knock say not enough to stop them playing at Wembley, but, where a week off might get rid of an ache or pain?

It's a squad sport, we need the full squad to be ready and that requires rotation keeping everyone fresh and interested IMO

I thought that was what I just said UR but in a sentence!

You might think that.

If you perhaps re read what I (obviously in a more long-winded way) put, then you might notice that I emboldened the word and and added "more importantly giving fringe players a chance to show what the can do in the P&B".

What I took from your succinct post was that unless a player is injured, then the team this weekend should be based on our regular starters, so that they can work on attacking structures, rather than squad rotation.

So not really RD

Yep I said nothing about squad rotation.

You could have added a sentence or two if you thought it was worthwhile

Haha, ten years ago we'd have felt we had half a chance of winning it!

In view of the fact that, whilst you have a serious chance of winning the competition, and we know we won't be around at Wembley (unless we get tickets..) I'm not sure what sort of squad we'll be putting out, as we have more important games, in a competition we have a much better chance of winning, to consider. That said, whoever pulls on the shirt will be busting a gut, I'm sure. Obviously, I don't know the Wire squad either, but I'm guessing that 'good enough to win' but 'let's not risk too many', will be the order of the day.

Should be a good atmosphere as I think there will be a large and noisy following from the Bulls, 2 to 2.5K at the very least and possibly more as the game does seem to have captured the imagination. Anyway, unless the clouds open and thunderbolts come down from above, I'm expecting you to win, but hoping not too easily, so I'll take the opportunity of wishing you well for the rest of the season - oh, and also in the cup final...
