I think we can go without Bailey he gives away too many penalties. Dropping him would give him a kick up the ar$e

Fair enough. I think it would be stupid to go with 2 props. We got away with it against a Wakefield side who were already on the beach, but I can't see us doing it against Saints.

Personally I would praise Tony Smith for making such a brave decision, it could be one of these decisions that could take us to Old Trafford. No doubt if we don't win the Smith bashers will be on here straight away

Then again, I don't get paid to pick the team!

There's the rub. It certainly would be a brave decision, but so was dropping Barry for the 2005 final and we know how that worked out. I'm all for the coach being strong enough to make decisions, like he did with Adamson in 2004, but sometimes it's better to play the percentages and take the "easy" option. This, again in my opinion, is one of those times.

Maybe Thackray has not been selected due to his ball retention. You dont want too much dropped ball in games like these

I think he will go with the same team as the Wakefield game.

I think he'll go with the same team as the Wakefield game too. And I think that's the correct thing to do.

Why do you think that G1?

From side-stepping try-scoring hero to squad-dropping also ran zero.

What's happened to Mr T's season ?
