Thoughts? If everyone is fit:-

1. Sam
2. Josh
3. Daz
4. Thornley
5. Pat
6. Green
7. Smith
8. Mossop
9. MM
10. Taylor
11. H
12. Faz
13. Sean

14. Flower
15. Crosby
16. Powell
17. Hughes

Logan was poor today, Id sooner see Powell myself, Hughes wasnt brilliant but was playing out of position and sooner someone who can cover centre and back row than just Tuson for back row.

Oh, and practice tackling, passing and catching till the cows come home after France

Id go:

1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Goulding
4. Thornley/Gelling - I cant choose between the two, both have good and bad points
5. Richards
6. Green
7. Smith
8. Taylor
9. McIlorum
10. Flower
11. Hansen
12. Farrell
13. O'Loughlin

14. Mossop
15. Tuson
16. Dudson
17. Hampshire

Hughes and Logan Tomkins shouldnt be anywhere near that game.

Powell



If anyone it should be Hampshire coming on at HB and Smith moving to Hooker.

Do we have two centres good enough to play? I'm not sure after today. Gelling was ever so slightly 'less worse' so gets my vote.

On form (that's a laugh) I'd go-

Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Gelling
Richards(needs a pair of roller blades the old boy)
Green
Smith
Taylor
McIlorum
Flower
Hansen
Farrell
Lockers

Subs
Crosby
Mossop
Tuson
Hampshire (if he turns up after missing his commentary slot today).

Never seen a player drop as much ball in contact as Jack Hughes.

I've been asking Mr Lenagan all season for centre's but for some fans what we have are good enough , not to me they aren't , I was only listening to the game and it was painful, what it must have been like actually watching it must have been worse!

Has he not replied to your texts?

Tell him to get Carmont back for next week.

You just realise how poorer the side is since the GL win when we had Gleeson and Carmont. Nothing against Goulding but when Goulding is missing we have that London would not start with.

Tomkins
Charnley
Goulding
Thornley (not played himself into contention, Gelling played himself out)
Richards (well he's the only one who can kick goals, even if he does have lead boots)
Green (Wane isn't going to pick anyone else but his form is atrocious)
Smith
Mossop
McIlorum (even though his recent form is poor. Must be carrying a knock)
Flower (hopefully he's fully fit)
Hansen
Farrell (will get picked even though he's a shadow of the player he was early this year)
O'Loughlin (even if he's only got one leg)

Dudson (he'll probably get picked but I'd prefer Crosby)
Taylor (someone who's actually playing well - he can't be one of ours, surely?)
Tuson (does a job, I'd prefer Burke, but anyone is better than Hughes)
L Tomkins (even though he's been poor. I'd prefer Powell or Hampshire.)

Surely, surely, surely Wane can't pick Lauaki or Hughes for the final.

Sam
Josh
Goulding
Gelling
Richards
Green
Smith
Mossop
McIllorum
Taylor
Hansen
Pearl
O'Loughlin

Logan
Crosby/Dudson
Flower
Tuson

Wigan by 10. Josh first try. O'Loughlin Lance Todd.

Don't think i've ever seen such negativity going into a final!

The pedant in me has to point out that one of London's starting centres is Rhodri Lloyd.
