Reading this rlRadford on Hull FC selectionrl makes you wonder if that may mean Washy misses out and he's going to go with Pritchard, Green, Bowden and Hadley?

We've set up a sweep at a fiver a go, all you have to do is pick the 3 who'll be on the bench alongside Frank Pritchard, choosing from;

Hadley, Naughton, Green, Bowden, Washbrook, Abdull, Pryce, Thompson.

Up to now we have 13 entries, everyone different !!!
No-one at the mo is going for Leon and only 1 has gone for Curtis, but all the rest have good backing.
and the pub debates we've had as to the reasons why we've picked who we've picked have been great.

Certainly a difficult job for Lee, and we know whoever he picks they will fit in seamlessly and do well.
Its building.....COYH

Its an interesting one and some of the players hinted last week that the players playing for a place at Wembley against Catalan included Washy.

I don't think Donald Trump is guaranteed a spot at all. He would be on my bench for his utility value on top of his very competent back row offering, but I think Dean Hadley is his competition and has made a very serious challenge in the last fortnight. I feel sure that Bowden and Green will join Frank so believe it really is between these two.

Not sure that points to Washbrook missing out? Him and Radford are former team mates but refering to disappointing a friend could mean anyone. Washbrook has missed just three out of twenty-nine games this season so is obviously a key member of the squad.

I'd still be surprised to see anything but Washbrook, Pritchard, Green and Bowden.

What a great position to be in. A fully fit squad going in to a major final is a luxury few teams have had. It's makes it even better that nobody on here can agree to leave out. What a dilemma for Radford. I don't envy him making that decision.

Someone mentioned that they heard Watts will face a late fitness test. I'm guessing that's not likely, as he's been on Twitter begging for help at finding a certain pair of new boots to wear for the CC final.

As stated the starting 13 picks itself and so does the bench for that matter barring one spot. One thing is though who ever does take that last spot will not let the team down. I'm edging towards playing Washy just over Hadley.

your right its between washy and Hadley, id have Hadley but wont be to upset if its washy

Keep changing my mind who'll be on the bench
Just can't see LR not playing Washy. Think he brings versatility as well as dependability .
Bowden, Thompson and Hadley all deserve a spot so it's really hard. Think Hadley might have pinched one though.

Teams been named at least the players know early which I think is a good thing . Pritchard , washbrook, Bowden and green are the subs . Hadley 18th man

Fingers crossed no injuries in training or other random events a la Shaun Briscoe.
Now it's about mindset, we know they have the skills/physicality, just need to get that onto the pitch on the day and even if we get behind a couple of scores stick to what we do best and don't panic.

That was my bench and 18th man.
Dont think many will be disappointed with that selection

You'd better keep it to yourself in that case

Why

In case tony smith finds out. Plus if sneyd breaks his leg or something then don't post it on here or there will be a meltdwon
