Could depend on who McDermott would move to centre if we had an injury in the backs. Ablett or Keinhorst? I know the former played there against Hull last week but was that just to reduce his defensive workload ahead of this week? Would he be loathed to move Ablett from the 2nd row in such a big match?

I would go Keinhorst simply for his Versatility.As said, it's unlikely either will get much game time anyway, injuries aside. So Achurch and Handley the unlucky two for me.

Hope Songleton doesn't miss out

Keinhorst, and Handley to drop out for me. If he doesn't get injured then he offers a lot more of a threat than Keinhorst, IMO.

Achurch and Handley for me too.
Achurch has had little game time these past two months.
Travesty if Singleton misses out IMO.
Much will depend on how fit Delaney is and could be replaced by Achurch in the end.
On another note I see Kelly has made the HKR squad, shock horror.

We are reading off the same page

Delaney will play and do one of his man-marking jobs on Kelly.

Also think that we'll go hookerless to start (or standoffless with Kev playing acting half) so that our defensive intensity knocks it out of Hull KR in the first period. Then bring Rob on after half-an-hour for the rest of the game.

Hardaker
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sinfield
McGuire
Garbutt
Cuthbertson
Peacock
Ablett
Ward
Delaney

Burrow
Leuluai
Singleton
Keinhorst/Achurch

Would be inclined to pick Keinhorst for more utility value so injuries don't disturb our gameplan.

For me. Keinhorst offers more for me when starting in the second row rather than off the bench, but his recent performances must merit a squad place over Achurch.

There is no chance of Keinhorst missing out. Shock selection in the 2012 final, and Mac loves him. Handley and Delaney to miss out. Frog could hardly walk today!

Delaney will play , walking has never been his strength

1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. McGuire
8. Garbutt
9. Cuthbertson
10. Peacock
11. Ablett
12. Delaney
13. Ward

14. Burrow
15. Leuluai
16. Singleton
17. Achurch

Sinfield playing hooker until Burrow comes on.

Handley can only be there for the experience since he played this week for the U19s, so that leaves perm any 2 from 3 - Delaney, Keinhorst or Achurch.
Since if fit ( & I think he is) Delaney is a certainty then it's a straight choice between Keinhorst & Achurch.
Either will do the job for us I'm sure but personally I'd like it to be Keinhorst who gets in.

He sometimes walks like an 80 year old man when he's on the pitch. He must love those clearing sets when Hardaker, Hall and Briscoe give him the opportunity to stroll back into the attacking line.

Team named. Keinhorst and Handley miss out, Cuthbertson named at 9. Looks like the same gameplan as the Wigan game in that case, targeting down the middle and winning the field position battle.
