Re: Wire team line up for final : Thu Aug 22, 2019 8:54 pm  

Ratchford
Lineham
Goodwin
King
Charnley
Livett
Patton
Hill
Clarke
Cooper
Currie
Hughes
Davis

BMM
AK
Philbin
Clark or BW
There's enough utility players on the team to cover for backs
Clark won't lose his spot to Westwood although I believe on this one occasion Ben would give his all
So Pricey should give him the perfect stage to hang up his slippers

the big pitch

Always makes me laugh this, the pitch is the same size as the HJ.

Wembley = 105m long x 69m wide.

HJ = 100m long x 68m wide. With a 7 metre dead ball area at each end.

In two of the league games, the games were even in all aspects until we had a man sin binned.

But our form has dropped off since then and we are busted in the fitness department.

But if the whole team can pull the game of the Summer out of their back pockets, we can remain in the game and give ourselves a chance.

Your overlooking - "the lush surface that really saps the energy from your legs" - "the raw emotion and overwhelming occasion" - "the hairs standing up for the National Anthem" - "the first hit up/tackle to get over those nerves" - "references to Watersplash, Catalan's last year, Sheffield in 1998" - "camera pans to Colin Welland, Michael Parkinson, Johnny Vegas and maybe Bradley Wiggins and Stuart Pearce"

Don't we all love a good Challenge Cup cliche - or should we resign them to the dustbin ?

Nervous energy
Rising to the big occasion
Tear up the form book
And RHP getting in the ‘kin way when you’re warming up

Re: Wire team line up for final : Fri Aug 23, 2019 3:18 pm  

Price has confirmed that Austin will definitely not play and has suggested currie, livett, ratch or Hughes? To play there or a combination depending on how the game goes

Hughes to play at half back?
