OT - Phil Bentham linesman in 2005 and ref this sat...

Jut can't for the life of me see Horne playing unless Yeaman or Crooks don't make it and he plays in the centre. Shaul doesn't deserve to be dropped and should retain his place. Would be a huge confidence blow if a regular fullback was dropped in favour of a halfback* who hasn't played for three months.

*yes, I know he can play fullback.

I think I would normally agree with you re. Rich Whiting.
But with our 2,3 &4 coming back after injury its a bit different, and PG is simply considering a more ideal contingency (in Horne) ..... and I'm sure he's thinking of back up for Shaul too. Of course Horne on the bench will mean the bench is lighter, there's always a pay off.

No-ones saying PG's deffo picking Horne on the bench, and Whiting may yet be on the bench. Its 50/50.

However If we lose a three quarter after 20 mins and Horne's not on the bench then we just have to trust Stilts gives another semi-final performance as a back. If he doesn't then we might just be wishing Horne had been picked.

Its a very very difficult decision, PG says the hardest of his life, but we just have to trust him. Whatever he goes with, it's a squad that will win this cup for us.

Ben C is in , lineham and Arundel out , Horney is 19th man . That info was from Richard Horne himself

Funny.. I've been told Linesman, Crooks in. Shaul defo at full back. That was from Kirk Yeamon who Himself is playing also..

See how easy that was to type a load of s*!t...

Yeamo is in!

Yeamo is in . Horne has been training at centre all week and until Crooks was declared fit was gonna be playing centre . anyway Lets wait and see then pal

Shaul
Crooked
Crooks
Yeamo
Briscoe
Dj
Milky
O'mealy
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Tickle
Westy

Azza
Whiting
Lynch
Green (possibly)

That's my guess

Lineham & Pitts in, Crookes & Green out, otherwise I'd go with that.

I think Lineham & Crooks will play, Gentle keeping Wane guessing. Pitts offers a lot more than Green & has been brilliant over the past few weeks, I can't see how Gentle can leave him out. Green also prone to the odd crazy offload at the wrong time, which we could do without at Wembley.

I'll go along with the 17 that PG picks. Despite all the guesses on here, he's the only one who knows whats happening.

players giving out the team line ups? yeah, like that is going to happen!! most important game of our season, no one will be spilling anything to fans or the press

My line up for sat

dirty curry or summat

You're seriously expecting us to believe that Gentle is considering leaving Whiting out for Horne? Do you even realise how silly that makes you sound?

Forecast earlier in the week was guaranteed sunshine and 26c temperature will training have been based around these conditions?

Latest beeb forecast now is for heavy rain on the morning of the game and cloudy 20c from 1pm onwards.

If conditions are damp / wet could this be more of a risk for players returning from injury? Just a thought #mindgames

Perhaps in you mind its messing with you.

Neither club has announced anything of not other then Arundel being rules out.

Now you reckon John Ketley is part of the conspiracy??
