Warrington will rest a fair few i would have thought, we can’t rely on that game.

Not confident if I’m honest

KR looked to have picked up a couple of knocks tonight, but with Abdull and Parcel they are better organised than us.

Should be a cracker.

Should have a bit more direction with Lui returning. Johnson to start and Dwyer to the bench gives us the best chance of winning.

Agree hope for a wire win but unlikely. Hope you got parked ok at saints, that car park was closed, apologies.
Re HKR
Although Johnson played a promising cameo, he has played 15 minutes in 2 years and his only other game was another last 15 minutes. I’d be amazed if he started I don’t think he is ready, be quite surprised if he is on the bench. Plenty of promise but needs a proper pre-season.

He's played a number of full games for York recently, he shouldn't be too far off - although totally agree he needs a proper pre-season, along with everyone else if we're going to challenge next year.

The problem with Dwyer starting for me is that he is less effective running against fresh markers, and his poor distribution harms our ability to run wide of the middle with any fluency. When we're light down the middle that's even more of an issue.

I don't know what the answer is. Maybe Leeming starts and we use someone else in at 7 to partner Lui.

I do like Dwyer as I've said elsewhere, and cannot fault his grit. Maybe people see his running and tries and associate him only with that: not the three tries we haven't scored because he takes the wrong options/poor execution from DH. I want to see our first receivers with the ball delivered at their fingertips consistently, to give them half a chance of establishing momentum in the attack.

Agree Dwyer is much more effective off the bench. Think same applies to Johnson at moment. Maybe O’connor Starts at hooker or if we could get enough forwards, play leeming at hooker and Lui and smith in the halves. No easy answers with such a busted squad. Looks like a tough game
To win.

No way Warrington will want to lose against Cas - the coaching changes for a start!!

Good news. Wonder who will play hooker? Cas look very strong too with McShane and Watts back in the squad.
