We are the better side but lack an edge. Lachy interception?

Grix the master tactician. Couldn’t be happier for the club as a whole, I think it’s reward for everyone attached to the club . Walmsey is a legend.

According to Facebook after his MOM performance last week Tom Inman has been left out of the team. On the plus side that must mean that JWH is fit to play.

I was disappointed for Tom,but Moore went very well to be fair,so I have to hold my hand up to Grix on this one.

Yeah I thought Moore went well when he came on. I think we saw a little of why grix was hesitant to play JWH at half back though as he was not his normal attacking self and you will lose that when he takes up a more organising role like he did today. A very good win and I thought we just had that extra bit of class or as it were a game breaker in Lachlan Walmsley. Truth is though I think we knocked the win out of their sails in the first half and we looked well on top in the 2nd. Hopefully we can take a few down to Wembley and it will be something to savour especially for anyone who has either not seen us at Wembley or for the younger ones who have not had chance to see us in a final.

In very difficult conditions most disciplined performance from Fax that I can remember in a long time. Wasn't sure about Pickersgill but thought he was excellent,Tangata best game for a while and Brandon Moore has seemed so much better last 2 weeks coming off the bench. Won't labour the Grix situation - suffice it to say that I was absolutely delighted for him - not a bad totally committed display for a coach who according to several on here had lost the dressing room!

Most honest and relaxed Grix has been. Easy when you are leavimg.

I will hold my hand up and say I was one who thought there was disparity between coach and players, have not seen the game yet, however from what people have said Fax played for themselves and their coach today.
Good luck to S G next year but let’s finish with a strong run in the league, a cup win and a decent play off.

Well done guys....loved it last year when we beat Fev to lift the trophy. I expect York to beat Batley, they've been a lot better in the last month or so.
