We get to play wigan……let’s see how we measure up.

Should have a full strength side barring McQueen who picked up a groin injury in the semi-final.
English to come back into the side - but who misses out to fit him in as our pack was immense!

I don't think we'll see Seb (allowed to play with an injured arm yesterday) again till the final.
Maybe a chance for Bruno to stake a claim in the meantime?

English for Seb, possibly Ashworth for McQueen. Sad to say , but i called at the start of the season that with our pack now, Lawrence is no longer needed, he has no threat with the ball at all, surrenders too easily, and is only there for defensive work. We now have lots of good tacklers / engines so he is purely squad cover. He has been a great servant and i really like that Watson mentions him every time we win (like he did yesterday) because he has been a superb servant, but i'm pretty sure that Watson agrees with my analysis as he is behind Hill, Trout, Seb, English and Wilson in the pecking order.

Will be light in the second row for this game . Jones picks up a 1 match ban and McQueen injured. Roberts and ashworth perhaps?
English back for this one. - but who misses out as all our forwards played well?!?!?

Move English, trout or greenwood into second row and job done, would play Ashworth over Roberts as he has potential.

Re: Interesting game Thursday : Tue May 10, 2022 1:28 pm  

Both wigan and hudds are resting players for this one- possible a little bit of not wanting to show their hand too much before the final also. Hill, ikahihifo, Jerry, McQueen injured /rested Jones pryce and cogger suspended so not in the squad this week.
Jake Wardle, Ricky Leutele, Ashton Golding, Tui Lolohea, Theo Fages, Danny Levi, Michael Lawrence, Luke Yates, Matty English, Joe Greenwood, Owen Trout, Adam O’Brien, Oliver Wilson, Leroy Cudjoe, Louis Senior, Olly Russell, Oliver Roberts, Innes Senior, Nathan Mason, Jack Ashworth, Sam Hewitt
Can see us going
Tui
Golding
Wardle
Leutele
Senior
Russell
Fages
Bruno
Levi
English

Yates
AOB, Wilson, greenwood, trout

See no reason to rest anyone, we have a perfect prep for the final as we play Toulouse next week and can play the reserves!

I assume It’s about not showing our hand and ensuring those with niggles get the best possible prep for the final!
And I don’t agree we should play the reserves, Toulouse will be no push overs, and we need to ensure we are in the running for the big one!
