I can quite confidently state that it won’t and I’d be the first to apologise if I was wrong.  

However it’s highly likely there’ll be a bit of a ‘shock’ selection at half-back tomorrow, which this the only advantage we’ll have - unpredictability.

Isn’t it going to be Harvey Livett?

He’s a talent if he can play at both 6 and 7 in the game.

As long as he plays for nothing he can play anywhere.

To replace a player in the 19 Wire have to provide the RFL with a signed medical certificate that proves one of their original 19 is unfit to play. The RFL then have to grant them permission to replace that player.  

or a note from the players mum?

Now that was talent. Not many people could combine Grange Hill with an illustrious playing career at Parramatta.

Why is Jamie Peacock used to read out teamsheets? I'm sorry, he's a great player and an inspirational speaker at times, but he's not a presenter.

Sat in front of the telly , nearly kicked off time. Here's to a fantastic game of rugby league whatever the outcome. 

[GeordieSaint]

Despite being overseas for six months, managed to get the game on via the BFBS App.

Come on you Saints!

[jacksy]

Hated the outside the stadium stuff by the BBC.

RHP on pitch meh.

[Big Picture]

Views of the stands suggest that another shockingly modest crowd could be seen again this year.

[Old Frightful]

As they just showed Wire warming up, in the background  I'm sure I saw the solitary figure of Ben Currie having grounding the ball practice..

[corvusxiii]

Success! My man in Lesbos has found BBC 1. No handpump though and it's 99 million degrees Celsius.

First cup final I've missed for a long time. Looking forward to an afternoon on the sofa watching though. 

Think we'll see a closer game than many predict. Charbly 1st try scorer and Lomax to win Lance Todd.

Shockingly modest? On the contrary, I've normally found St Helens crowds to be rather arrogant.

Having decided that Stains will romp away with the Final, I am now edging towards Dire.

[Irish Saint]

Magnificent applause for Archie Bruce

Great turnout by Saints fans to be fair 

[RSN]

The build up to this game has been absolutely fantastic from BBC. I don't think the game has felt this big in years. 

[corvusxiii]

Five blokes just walked into my taverna. Football?asks the owner.

Rugby mate, rugby, want rugby on. Rugby!!

[Dave T]

This is embarrassingly empty. Kill Wembley off now. Tradition kills.

[jacksy]

Nice to see Harry.

[Bedford Roughyed]

Saints and Warrington to be asked for a deposit to play in the cup next year?
