I was really impressed with Pickersgill on Saturday, but if he's fit I'd still put JWH back at full back as he's great defensively, and adds a lot to the attack when he links with Jouffret. In my
opinion best full back in the league and just an average half - it also allows us to play Inman in the halves, where I think he's earned a place. The rest of the team I'd keep the same as London as they showed what they're capable of when they cut out the daft mistakes.

One thing it does prove is how difficult it is solving the puzzle of Keyes being injured.I will also be intrigued to see what happens with the three hookers ( excluding Kyle wood ) scenario next season, Moore , inman and obrien.

50 quid for kids on the coach is a bit extortionate
I know prices are high but we should be doing more here

Difficult for the club as theres probably very little money in the kitty to subsidise the travel so either an individual stumps up some cash for sponsorship or they have to charge anyone full price who takes up a seat.

Brilliant stuff from the boys. Great opportunity for the club.

Speaking of which - anyone think we’ll have a proper fax shirt - 150 years and all that..?

That’s just down to fuel costs and the distance to London

Yes but in view of this.

Grix still being in charge and it being the most expensive game of the year you won’t be going anyway.

Its about the going rate, Siddal ran a coach to the FCHT final recently, if I recall correctly they got the coach for £2000 and charged £40 a ticket, so made £80 assuming everyone paid.

KXP are running a coach @ £43 per ticket

£50 isn't overly expensive, Especially when you consider a coach going to London has to have a euro 6 engine or pay £100 LEZ charges, coach parking at Wembley isn't cheap either.

Agree it sounds a lot for kids, but to do kids at £40 say, you'd have to do adults at more to make up for it

I would imagine with this forum being an online version of ‘ old pub talk ‘ a lot of these bold statements will be made under the influence of alcohol.

And kids still take up one whole seat and I’ve seen some that could take up 2
