For me both Clarke and Vinnie should be in the 17.

Apart from that the team picks itself.



Mathers

Hicks

King

Atkins

Riley



Briers

Myler



Morley

Monaghan

Woody (He has earned the right to be our starting prop)

Westwood

Louis

Harrison



Clarke (Interchange hooker)

Carvell (only have one interchange prop, Leeds are a tad light with props which will mean we could get away with just the one interchange.)

Vinnie ( First choice to give Benny and Louis a rest)

Solomona (Second choice to give Benny and Louis a rest, particularly when the game has been going a while and we can use him for his handling and offloads for Richie Myler to utilise)

Mathers

Hicks

Atkins

King

Riley

Briers

Monaghan

Morley

Clarke

Carvell

Anderson L

Westwood

Harrison



Subs:

Wood

Solomona

Cooper

Higham



Omitted:

Myler

Bridge

Anderson V

Atkins lance Todd trophy

Swap Myler with Cooper and you wont be far off there, (Cooper could replace Solomona though if his back problem doesnt clear up).

This is going to sound daft...but the post asked what would I do??? Well here goes...

Hicks FB

King W

Clarke C

Atkins C

Riley W

Briers SO

Myler SH

Morley P

Monaghan H

Carvell P

Westwood SR

Louis SR

Harrison LF



Higham

Wood

Vinnie

Solomona (Cooper in if Solomona is unfit).



Yes that is leaving Mathers out and putting Clarke at centre.



Heres the method in my madness..... Mathers for all his enthusiasm Foooks up royally, and in a final against a better opposition than last year, can we take that risk?



Also, Clarke is strong in defense, which is needed against a good strong centre like Senior. So, there you have it.



My opinion only, i know its not going to happen, but thats what i'd do and probably why il never be a rugby coach





COME ON YOU WIRE!

Clarke at centre ???

i've heard it all now !

I thought that myself, but iv got my reasons

are you jon clarke?

Morley

Carvell

Louis Anderson

Westwood

Wood

Ben Harrison

Penny

Leikvol

Sullivan

Briers

Myler

Hicks

King



Atkins

Toa Kohe Love

Gaskell

Clarke



Good mix of skill and experience...

why not put clarke at full back,morley on wing.harrison centre,king 2nd row and so on

Assuming Solomona is fit, I'd go with this. Almost. I'd still start with Carvell. Wood can burst off the bench after 20.

Hope jon clarke,

and paul wood play some part in the game for their sakes,

Gutted for the pair of them last year!
