Edit.

Apologies, double post.

I'm shocked that you don't think Chezzies #1 tactical change will involve us putting pressure on the opposition kickers on the final play. Mind you, given that we've barely achieved it in any game this season, I'm not surprised.

A bit of defensive line speed and intensity would be goo too, as well as focus around the ruck and ptb. Supporting a forward runner might be good and wrapping in the tackle to prevent Leeds offloading may benefit us also.

In fact I reckon Chezzies tactical changes for Wembley will be nearer the 50 mark from the gameplan we deployed against Fax on Sunday. Who needs structure, direction and game management anyway? On the evidence of our last 2 games, we appear not to. We could try a 4-4-3-2 formation with a pair of wingbacks and lobby for a change of ball shape.

Terrible.

He's got the basics right for a man of his age but his product is all wrong.

He seems to be going for a Hipster style without the beard, a number one on the sides and longer on top with no quiff.

What he needs is a stiffer Matt product because what he currently has is a shell shocked soldier fresh back from The Somme, and nobody wants that look.

Nice name BTW. Are you named after a brand of chorizo or are you a mariachi band musician?

Everytime I see him I think he should be pushing a breadbike up a cobbled street with the hovis music in the background

Personally, i don't think he'd look to out of place in a l'oreal advert. He's certainly got the flicking capabilities with a do like that.

If Leeds are as dumb as you are they will have failed to notice that for a few games now Mantellato has had a brief to come across and cover all high kicks and has done so very successfully. Any kicks that go to Roves right hand side are dealt wth by Sio.

For several games now our full back be it Dixon or Cockayne have not had a kick to deal with never mind drop one. Leeds won't waste their time trying to expose Dixon or Cockayne just to have Mantellato or Sio set up a counter attack. They'll have done their homework better than you have.

]If Leeds are as dumb as you are'"

His fair flicks around too much in the tackle...

It always makes it look like he has had his head jolted back and that he has been whiplashed, when it's only his greased locks that are jolted!

To early to pick a Wembley seventeen. No doubt Chester has an idea as to his possible line up but two or three positions could be decided on Sunday. Be interesting team selection against Widnes.

Thank you, Sir.
I'd imagine they have practised it a fair bit tbh, bit different to the real thing though isn't it. I went to the first CC final there, Saints/Cats. It was a sunny day without much wind as I remember.

Dixon
Mantellato
Welham
Salter
Sio
Blair
Kelly
Puletua
Lunt
Allgood
Donaldson
Horne
McCarthy

Boudebza
Burke
Green
Walker

That's my team for the famous victory!

Okay Bob, we'll see. But this plan is not at all easy to execute against a brilliant kicker. As someone further up has said if Mantellato is involved in the previous tackle, your entire system is knackered. I fear Leeds tactical planning may be slightly better than Leigh and Halifax's and dare I say it, even yours, astute observer though you are.

I think we need to smash them up the middle with high intensity destroy their forwards and in the process we will be protecting Dixon anyway. I think the final will be decided on which team turns up with the most belief and the right attitude, there is no room for nerves and no room for errors unlike Sunday against Halifax.

You do realise this is Rovers we are talking about don't you?

Welcome to the board by the way. What's your beef with Kev Larroyer?
