Of course you were told this along with the game plan and the advanced tactical substitutions

Does anyone remember a young 17 year old playing for Wigan in the 1985 Classic. he played v FC and FC had some of the greatest names in RL at the time. How did he get on in the game and how inexperienced was he ?

Shaul is 21 Edwards was 17

it's a big dilemma - Horne is not a fullback but Shaul is, so my preference would be to put Horne at 7 not 1.

Miller misses out for me - Horne was turning games before he got injured and Miller is still finding his feet. Horne is the better player of the two - Miller is still learning his trade. Let's have someone who knows where his feet are and has played in Challenge Cup finals before. We need experience for this occasion. If McDonnell was fit he would have been picked instead of Shaul (who has done nothing wrong) because of his experience in that position and the fact he's a better player.

I wouldn't like to have to make the choice and I'd still be glad to have Miller at 7 and Shaul at 1.

TBH, if this game was not at Wembley then playing Horne in place of Miller or Shaul would not be too much of a problem. But this Wembley, this pitch finds out any player that isn't 100%, and after three months he can't be that, no amount of training brings you to the level of match fitness that this game and this pitch requires. But that's just my opinion, and I think Shaulnand Miller have earned their right to be there

Heavy rain now forecast all day. We need players with good ball control.

Sorry, he was told Wednesday.
Lineham didn't go down with the team, the lad is so down, feel for the kid.

Dissapointed that the weather now looks like it could be so bad, could be a poor spectacle with team making least mistakes winning, (won't give a flying one if we win).

Wasn't Edwards 18, playing in his 2nd Challenge Cup final, and either already or very soon to be a GB international?

We don't really tend to kick to him anymore anyway, not sure if the leg injury he picked up in the '10 grand final effects his aerial ability, it certainly affects his speed!

Yes, he played at FB against Widnes in 1984
