i think radford has been rather crafty announcing a full strength squad, knowing warrington play on saturday, smith will now probably name a strong wire team for their game v cas with 2 days less turn around

If he has, it happened during this season. He scored a few against us at their place and ours this season.

scrap that, just read the link above

he retired today after what has been a fabulous career really, still looked good this year for the Catalans.

He's been terrible this year. And his goalkicking poor.

Richards?

Wow you are easy to please. He hasn't done it for me.

Think he started off ok for Catalans but just didnt seem fully committed as the season wore on, his goal kicking has been a shadow of the secure assured kicking of his Wigan days.

Agree with you otherwise think he's been a very good player in SL over the years.

Heard manu and watts been rested , I wouldn't be surprised if there's a couple more too

If we rest too many we'll get beat.

Both carrying niggles from Widnes.
Manu holding his hamstring towards the end of the match so no surprise if he is out.

Subject to injuries looks like Thompson,Hadley and Washbrook all given the chance tonight for the Wembley bench spot.

Not conceded a point in 120 minutes now.

Don't get me wrong, I like seeing Hull win but this game is too one sided to be enjoyable. Catalan can't hold onto the ball for more than one tackle.

Hadley can count himself very unlucky if he misses out on the 17 next week. Been excellent again.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, in all fairness though Catalans have been poop and we've done a number on them.

Trust in the squad members is the only way we can ensure we have fit/non knackered players for a whole season, tired but quality players have shown to still be less effective than fresh but not quite as top quality squad players.

That our squad players are in fact excellent throughout especially in the forwards and the way they have slotted in should give us confidence and Radford showing confidence in them hopefully pays dividends with them wanting to do well and maintain the winning ethos.
I'd rather lose a battle resting your best and win a war at the end.
Tonight will really give Radford a bit of a headache...in a good way of course but the team must be really very bouyed by that performance and Pritchard was much better.
Can't wait for next week.
