Same here Oxford. I suppose with 5 former Salford players playing for Cas, they get my vote. But yes, Bill Burgess does keep coming into my thoughts as well.

Jon Wilkin should she gone for one of the captain spots on A Question of Sport. He has confidence, speaks clearly and sounds like a smart bloke.

Looking forward to a fast open and competitive game today (hopefully), and would love to see Cas pick up the win. Looks like they’re wearing a cup final jersey too, unless it’s a warm-up top.. 

best of luck to both teams though. Here’s hoping for a good one.

Sat down, a few beers and a few packets of crisps. Roll on the match, may the best team win. That trophy is stunning in the Wembley sunshine.

In a rugby league tradition dating  back to 1929, the singer's microphone hasn't been switched on.

[Bearman]

That must be one of the worst renditions of Abide With Me.

Should have been lizzie

[Mark S]

All the right notes were there...........

[Roy Haggerty]

Oh dear. Abide with me not the very best version I’ve heard. Still, can’t say I’d have much voice if I was stood there trying to sing it in front of 45000 people.

Off we go lads. May the best team win. As long as it’s Saints.

Bring back Lizzie Jones. She should get the gig every year.

[Bearman]

"GAd" save us if that's best singer we can get

[Padge]

Cracking atmosphere in the stadi

[bratman]

Is a good atmosphere

Just not quite loud enough to drown out Sabrina Washington, sadly.

[Just Browny]

I am giving her the benefit of the doubt and saying her earpiece / mic weren't working properly, but neither Abide With Me or GSTQ were renditions to remember.

Yes, I think she froze a bit tbh, maybe some technical issues, it was a shame. I'm glad the crowd gave a great roar at the end though.

I think Robbie Paul has heatstroke , he’s already waffling

Can we get Jemini next year? Or hold a seance to raise the ghost of Florence Foster-Jenkins?

So what makes you think he has heatstroke?

How late was the flop on Sene-Lafao there?
