Grand Final 21-man squad

[morley pie eater]

Tough on Harry Smith, but I think we'll rightly go for 4 forwards on the bench, which won't include Byrne or G Burgess.

Spare a thought for Marshy, Manfredi and Havard too.

Lockers gives us the freedom of not putting a back on the bench because at a push he can play 6 so yeah i think as tough as it is on Smith its the correct call

[Fujiman]

Sam wasn’t injured, so will be fit and well. I think we all know the 17 we want to see, with the biggest question around whether Lockers starts on the bench or not. As long we keep 13 players on the field throughout, we will win. We have enough attacking options to score 20 points (we scored 4 tries the last time we met), and even if they throw the ball about and get the bounce of the ball they won’t be able to get past our swarming defence lead by Powell, Farrell, Isa, Smithies and Partington. Our line speed will cut down on Ruby’s effectiveness, and our new found ability to concentrate for 80 minutes (allied with the post lockdown super fitness) will see us home.

Excellent summary

This it then, no chance for Hankinson unless a miracle occurs, been a tough year for him not getting selected, which I've said enough times

He definatley would be a better option than GB in the pack, that said don't see how that will happen, Greenwood defo playing

Although I've criticised a few this year, its time to get behind the Lads & Lammy

All I want to see is the commitment and desire, the skills and passion to give them men a good stuffing. All we can do is fully support the team loud n proud from our front rooms

C'mon Warrior's!!!

[josie andrews]

He’s named in the squad but I hope that’s all it is!

This is too important a game to be sentimental about a player who isn’t 100% match fit!

Never thought I'd see the day you turned against Lockers

You know damn well it’s not my boy!

It’s GB

[Southern Softy]

The starting 17 picks itself with those injuries. SOL and Greenwood definitely for the bench and then it's between Smith, Clubb and Smithies. It's hard but Smithies hasn't really been back to form post his suspension and Saints will be looking to wind him up as well. With a very heavy heart, I'd go for Clubb and Smith. Whatever happens, I think Smith has to be on the bench either to change the play around in the second half if we need to make a comeback or to run Saints ragged if we are on top and want to make our superiority count.

Who are you referring to Josie ?. I presume its G Burgess.
I'm sure its not Lockers as Meds is suggesting.
For me, Greenwood on bench in place of Flower.
Smith to the bench in place of Clubb.
Smithies, greenwood, Lockers, Smith on bench.

Yes G Burgess, it’s just Meds trying to be clever

With Lockers gone next season, I don't know who'll miss him most Josie: you or Meds

I’ll definitely miss seeing him play

He will have to find another good player to pull to pieces every week!

There is no one, IL will have to sign Makinson for me
