Couldn't call it. First time in years.
Then I saw Smith name Higham in his squad.
Huddersfield by 4.

I can't help but think wire are making a big mistake playing Higham, it's his first game back and he's straight into a final big mistake for me, Tony Smith made a similar mistake in Leeds CCF against Hull when he played an unfit Senior and now he's doing the same with Higham.

il lgo for Huddersfield 22 Warrington 16

Senior started the game though, highams coming off the bench don't think he would have made the squad had clarke not done his ankle in, higham was in great form before his injury an looked okay from what i saw in training from him but it one of them could work could not.

Yeah sorry my mistake I forgot that your missing Clarke, still I would have though Mona's was capable of doing the full 80 but If your light for bodies which you must be if your playing McCarthy then you obviously need to use Higham.

I'd have Monaghan at hooker before Higham.

Monas is starting at hooker, Higham is on the bench.

Huddersfield 28 Warrington 12

Theres 3 other players Smith could have put in so don't think thats it Smith clearly rates the lad he does have a good hit on him but to have your third senior game ever at Wembley in a CC final is a big ask.

Nice to see Tony Smith reads these boards

BBC Radio 5 Live have just had a feature talking about this weekend's sport.
Not one mention of the Challenge Cup final being shown by, you guessed it, the BBC.
The Australia-Scotland one day cricket match and the Belgian grand prix were both featured.
As a finishing tag the news that the Harlequins rugby union chairman has stepped down was repeated.
It beggars belief really.

Strangely though, BBC Radio 1 have had features all day on the CC Final.

Heard it on Radio 1 this morning about 7 o'clock.

Thats what happens when theres no big sides playing in it

Any score that follows the pattern huddersfield "more" and Warrington "less" will do for me, but even better would be Huddersfield "a lot more" and Warrington "considerably less".
