I see what you mean but I see union as by trying to fill every possibility they eventually ruin their club game and shorten playing careers. They try too shoehorn, six nations, autumn internationals, world cup, tours for every country and lions tours, they have leagues, domestic cups, European cups, sevens, super rugby, now they want to put a 16 team competition that will cover at least 6 weeks. On paper it looks good but how can they keep everyone happy. Crazy

Harry I was just thinking back to my school days back in the 60s and 70s in Leigh (westleigh) and in an industrial town of two pits and multiple factories we played rugby in winter and enjoyed fishing in summer, I found my old rod and reel and cast a few lines in Yorkshire it was good fishing, I even caught three on one hook. Those halcyon day's.

Sorry which final are you playing this season or any of the last decades. So this overrated (it's one word not two) team is playing it's 8th challenge cup final since 2009, also 4 GF and two league leaders shields. I grant you we haven't won the championship like wakey last year but we've never been relegated.

Same old faces ? , First choice 17 , Dufty, Thewlis, Tai/Wrench, King, Ashton, Williams, Hayes (Sneyd because of long term injury) Vaughan, Walker,Yates, Fitzgibbon,Holroyd,Currie, Powell, Philbin, Harrison,Lyndop How many same old faces, Quite a few come through system, 6 under 23 Dufty, Tai, Vaughan, Fitzgibbon all overseas (by default not same old, walker, Williams, Ashton, Currie Harrison current or recent international you need to find a new angle , one with an element of fact will help.

All that is relevant but also the 2 week rest wakey had , at the moment Warrington are busted with little room for rotation , Wakefield have played and beat Warrington twice but had the benefit of Warrington either coming back from Vegas or playing in a tough semi final,. Sometimes you need a poor performing side after a tough week but Warrington (or Leigh didn't) HKR did, it's just the way it falls.

I look at the signings, apart from sneyd. Russell, Leyland and the Leeds winger all poor quality (Leyland might develop) and Musgrove and Russell rarely play, and as two overseas players you expect better, but it's not beyond us winning the CC final if Williams, walker, king, Fitzgibbon and Thewlis all play.
