Think we are probably going to need Lui fit and firing to give us a proper shot at Saints. That and a bit of luck.

Didn't think saints were all that hot in their last two. I reckon we're in with a shout if they don't step it up.

We'll be in with a chance most games the way our pack is shaping up. This is the first year in a long time where field position isn't really an issue. We're getting forward really well.

The rest should do us good, we are still a bit patched up and another couple of bodies coming back won't do any harm. Good benchmark game in a way - I think the Cas result was a bit of a one-off (although again I can't remember us giving another SL team a hiding for some time).

Will be interesting when the likes of Holroyd, Smith, A. Sutcliffe and Lui return who will be the casualties in the team.

Holroyd when fit will replace Vuniyayawa Lui will be back at 6 with Sutcliffe moving back to centre. Smith will probably make the 17. A Sutcliffe will only come back in if the injuries pile up.

Well, got an email saying i e been allocated a ticket for this as they did a second ballot!

I reckon that`s probably right which is a shame for Alex but maybe with him going to Cas it`s the logical outcome.
If Liam was going to Cas then maybe Alex would replace him at centre.

Call me old fashioned but I’d like to see a 17 including Oledzski, Prior, Tetevano, Holroyd and King.

I agree Seth. Go with your strengths. Whether Tommy is fully fit remains to be seen though.

Not convinced we need to go with all 5.That would mean having 2 props on the bench plus Dwyer that then only leaves one spot left between Smith, Gannon,Thompson,Walters Donaldson When all fit i'd prefer to bring Smith on to 13 and move Tetevano up to prop then bring on another back rower to replace either Mellor or Martin.Prior generally plays long minutes so i just don't see the need for 5 props.

Agreed...Bench of Holroyd, king, Smith, dwyer when/if everyones fit.

We need to be very careful in not bringing players back too early against Saints……… especially in the forwards. They may be vulnerable after the cup semi and our focus should be only on those players 100% fi5.

Yeah I’m sure he will need some steady short stints to reintegrate and get to somewhere like, it’s a shame there’s no reserves for this very reason. If all 5 are on form it would be one hell of a prospect for the rest to play off that rotation.

One back row on the bench with prior at 13 doing the big minutes and tetevano rotating at prop would be my preference. If smith cements a place at 13 then it puts pressure on the 5 middles to play for 4 spaces. Good competition either way.

I also got tickets for this game too.

Really chuffed with that, obviously.
