I’m sure Smith and Cust start the game. He’d be a lovely safety net on the bench Tommy. You can use him for 20-30 mins to spell O’Neill or say they’re was an injury or one of Cust/Smith crumbled under the pressure of a final then you can throw him in the halves to settle us.

I saw a clip of the side leaving for London earlier and Tommy leads them out. I’m probably imagining it but I thought he had a slight limp, so we’ll see.

IF we get the start that we got in the semi, I don't see them coming back in the same way that Saints did BUT having Tommy on the bench to sure the defence up will be a good safety net as you say.

Possibly an error on the one you have seen as both Huddersfield and the Challenge cup on he isn’t in

yes - it clearly was went back and checked- it had 23 players named!!!
so either pryce or cogger to play.
not sure who id like to see tbh.
there is a lot of hype surrounding pryce, who has raw talent and, this is controversial but, I don't think as good as the hype surrounding him. yet.

I agree, but it's to be expected with how good of a player his Dad was. I have no doubt he will be an excellent player though.

Electric with ball in hand but really struggled defensively in our game at the DW.

actually id say the opposite, defensively he is ok, and of course you were bound to target him, his option taking is still very raw.

He’s a cracking player for 19 years old. Especially when you consider the level of competition available in the reserves and academies.

Re: CCF match discussion : Fri May 27, 2022 7:50 am  

I’d rather he didn’t play and that says a lot. Maybe he has some flaws, it’s hardly surprising at 19 but he’s electric at times. The move to Oz could make it break his career in some ways but if it comes off the potential i of a absolutely huge and it could be great news for England.

Tomorrow is all about field position for me. Hudds don't exactly chance their arm from deep, but they are a very good attacking team in the opposition's 20. IF we do not give the silly penalties away that we have over the last fortnight, I think we will win the game comfortably. If we go set for set with them, it should be straight forward.

However, we have shown this season that our discipline with and without the ball can be poor, and that's my biggest fear. We know that Hudds' gameplan will be to pin us in corners and ask us to come out time and time again and we must be willing to do that, particularly in the first 20. If we don't, it could be bad news.

I'd like to see Mago just steaming the ball in rather than looking for the off-load every time, when he does he usually has 4 defenders hanging off him, a quick play the ball after that and we're in business
