I also think Anderson's mind was in Australia judging by a tweet he made referring to it not being long before he saw family and friends and what a difficult season it had been.
I tweeted back what a difficult season it had been for us fans,and to dig in for the wins needed.
If he was referring to a bereavement then that does put a different complexion on things, but this was earlier on last week before anyone knew of him being disciplined.

Yes they have dealt with it admirably and the 17 who played yesterday did a difficult job in difficult circumstances. ..... But can i add please please please MC seek help with your Twitter addiction.!

After the trouble came to light and the fact Fax easily pushed much fancied Leigh aside last week it always had the chance of being a banana skin and yes it wasn't a fantastic game also credit to Fax they never threw the towel in and played until the end but those players put a shift in and got what was wanted in the end those 2 points

Yes credit to the players for yesterday, especially considering that some of them had not played for a while. Would you make any changes to the squad for the £!m game? Would you bring in the experienced players such as Ali, Lee Smith, Anderson or Jon Molloy (who is apparently nearing full fitness)?

Afraid so - for that game, you throw everything you can at the win; good as they were, the young lads can't have the fate of the club on their shoulders - it wouldn't be fair.

I would play Johnston because he does have genuine pace but Crowther I think is currently a little small for the rigours of playing in the pack. I agree you need the most experienced players you can for a final because failure does not bare thinking about.
I know you can be blinded by yesterday but the coach must consider that the team he puts out must be the one that can handle the pressure of a final.

Wouldn't have Ali back. Much as I like the guy he's a bit of a liability these days.

If Lee Smith is fit and available I'd have him at Full Back which is unfortunate for Jowitt, however I'd play him on the wing with Johnstone on the other side.

Lyne does not get in the side for me he simply is not a good enough player, Arundel is a better option. If Girmond ( honestly we are trying our best and we have never been fitter and its not our fault, the fans are wrong and know nothing at all about Rugby ) is not back for the Sheffield game then I think that rules him out. Not sure Locke would be a good idea as he us unlikely to finish a game injury free. I think Yates and Mullaly get in ahead of Molloy and Walker. Ali is the difficult one, he looked his age against Widnes, miles of the pace and missing tackles, that said he just might win you a game. Hard as it seems I also sadly think Tim Smith has to play, if he is in the nick or deported then OK but other than that I think we need him in order to beat Bradford. That said if the club decide he does not play on principle then I will support that decision.

If fit Molloy should play for me. We've missed him since injured.
I'd play Tim Smith

Cant disagree about Molloy but, Smith doesn't deserve his spot.
