Considering Brown has referred to drastic changes, I imagine either McDonnell will come in or even Swift to 1 or 6.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think we will have the same spine as against Hull anyway.

I didn't realise the final was so soon until I've just looked. That's useful to know for my handicap betting anyway!

Apparently Swift played 6 for Rochdale/Whitehaven t'other week & scored 2 tries.

I wouldnt see the point of naming Wellens, Mcdonnell, Swift and Dawson, if they were all fighting over 2 spots...

Wellens
Makinson Turner Percival McDonnell
Swift Wheeler
Amor Roby Walmsley
Flanaghan Manu
Soliola

Masoe LMS Laffranchi Jones

Dawson and Richards to miss out

I'd like to see swift at 6, just to see if his pace has some effect there, his possibly questioned defence won't be so exposed there either

McDonnell
Makinson, Turner, Percival, Swift/Dawson
Wello, Wheeler
Amor, Roby, Walmsley
