It's also going to be a last hurrah for some of our older heads too

Re: Team for wembley : Thu Jun 06, 2024 11:54 am  

There isn't a single player in that Sheffield squad that would get in our side. Skybet have got us on -20, I think we'll clear that.

1-12 off the level. The bookies aren't often wrong. Let's hope they aren't this time

For a regular league fixture, I would agree but, this is a cup final.
If we get early points, we should go on for a comfortable win but, Sheffield will have a real dig early doors.
We have to expect a tough, tough contest, fans and team alike.

Be very surprised if Bain doesn’t play, for me it’s olpherts v walmsley , kaye v Doyle , all good choices to have and wouldn’t be disappointed if team was as you suggest.

Think the Yorkshire cup final mentioned on other thread , 1992 I think at elland road ,
Spencer, jones, mason , benson, Wilson , wright bagnal, Webster bell glancy price fritz slater,

I'd go Doyle over Kay.

For me, Kay covers a number of positions and has the added benefit of being pretty effective from dummy half and with Mcgilvery, Griffin & Thornley back inn recovering from lay offs (and Gale) It makes more sense having him in the side rather than Doyle.
