| I'm not sure that I would rest anyone to be fair. The combination of results at the weekend have left us just 3pts outside the top 4, and with Catalans playing Wire this weekend, there is a real chance of attaining 5th place this weekend, and then we have a shot at the top 4, if other results again go our way. And with the benefits that a top 4 finish can bring, if it's still a chance we should go for it with a full strength squad. That, plus the fact that I do not think that Brian Mac will disrespect his former club by fielding a weakened side this weekend, irrespective of what is coming a week later.
It only needs Salford to do us a favour this week and upset a wobbling Huddersfield, and 4th place is very much on, with the games we have left, and I think we should be full strength all the way.

| I would like to see a full strength side Rhinos play this weekend at Quins, i would only leave players out that are carrying injuries, we are a side that clearly needs some momentum going into the CC final

I'd be going one step further if I were in Leeds's shoes, and treating this whole week as a rehearsal for the final itself. Travel down at the same time you are going to next week, stay in the same hotel, work to the same schedule '"
A very good idea AG

| If you are carrying a knock you don't play, if you are fit, you do play.

| Play a full strength team. If like last Friday, we have the game won with 20 minutes to go, take off the key players.

| I wouldn't rest anyone - Laughton did it in the 90s and it was pointless, as well as making a mockery of the league game. We have only the slimmest chance to win at Wembley and that's if we can go into the final with as much confidence as possible. If anything I wish we were playing one of Wire/Sts, as even a narrow loss to one of those two would be better preparation than Quins. If we do play a relatively full-strength team at Quins and lose, my expectations for Wembley would dim even further than they are. Which is difficult.
The only thing I'd question is that whilst we may have a chance to win a one-off cup final, I've seen no evidence that we have a team capable of winning the play-offs whether from 4th to 6th place - win or lose our season looks likely to be effectively over in two weeks.

| We have to go full strength, barring injury. Get some momentum and belief into a squad that has looked a bit devoid of both.
