That is what is worrying me - there is a temptation here to go in with someone 70% and then be down to 16 players inside 10 minutes. Or worse, people hiding with injuries and we end up playing soft.

Huddersfield are beatable, but you need to control them for a while and give little away. We need to play this game like and NRL game, territory and posession..... I know it is said a lot but Sunday needs an arm-wrestle and line speed all the way through.

Cheap penalties and field position and we'll be onto a loser, but a disciplined and controlled display and we can win.... If we can hang in there and not be forced into trying to win it in the first half....... You can't win the game in the first half, but you can sure as hell lose it!

Easy game from the armchair I know, I gave up playing (badly) 9 years ago and coaching after 2 seasons!'"

Which is why you spell players. Netherton can be replaced by Boyle on the half-hour mark, with Jones filling in at hooker for the next thirty mins, and then Netherton comes back on for final twenty.

Widders in all honesty plays the last 20 mins anyway, so there is only Owen and McGoldrick who will play full match. They are both very fit lads so I'm sure they'll be more than raring to play.

We have to dominate the ruck area as you say, and not let Huddersfield win the 'wrestle'.

Watching Robinson and Hodgson are also key, and we have to watch out for our wings this time.

Wainwright in all honesty is too slow to play against the likes of Hodgson, Cudjoe, Aspinwall etc because of their speed - he'll get caught out.
