Ablett Grade C charge with early guilty plea available, so 1-2 match ban, probably 1. Would have rested him anyway as he's our only mainline player who hasn't been rotated.

There's a few who don't merit a place at the moment and a few who need to play themselves back to form/confidence (I'd include Briscoe and Stevie Ward in that). For me, Sinfield has to play hooker until Aiton or Burrow are back. R.Ward not ready for main hooker and just shoving a second row there doesn't provide any uncertainty as to what's going to happen from acting-half. Would hope to give JP and Kylie fairly short minutes assuming the game is going well, but with the option to bring them back on for more if it isn't.

Can you please play now of the above

We have a big game against one of the toughest packs in SL the following thursday. Kylie & JP are knackered and need a rest. Playing them & endangering the Huddersfield game would be lunacy.

Remember that a defeat could see us drop down to 4th (with Wigan winning their game in hand, and Cas winning in the league) and be only a point or two ahead of Wire. It's vital we stay in the top 2, and keep pressure on Saints & Wigan for the LLS.

Some players need to be trusted with minutes (Singleton, Sutcliffe) some need continued exposure in the first grade (Ward, Minchella, Mulhern), some need to turn in a performance to justify their place in the squad (Bailey, Clarkson & Kirke).

So rest Kylie, JP, Zak (if he's not banned) & Sir Kev. Achurch joins the injury list, Ablett can miss this one & be back for fartown. McGuire skippers in Kev's absence.

Play your u-19's. you will still win by 70 points, SUPER LEAGUE is that good.

Rest a few who need it but progression has got to be the priority.

Looks like we will be without Achurch, Ablett, Aiton, Burrow, JJB & Yates for this match. Give a rest to Leuluai & McGuire.

How bad is Achurch`s injury?
Does anyone know?

Ablett banned for 2 games

Right call, like I said before I don't think he went for Monaghan but you can't try to do that because of the potential of injuring the ball carrier.

With Ablett & Achurch out and Hardaker available I'd go with:

1. Jones-Bishop
2. Briscoe
3. Handley
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Hardaker
7. Sutcliffe
8. Singleton
9. Ward, R
10. Kirke
11. Clarkson
12. Minchella
13. Ward, S

14. McGuire
15. Delaney
16. Bailey
17. Mulhern

Rest Watkins, Sinfield, Leuluai & Peacock. I'd have Hardaker or Moon as captain. See what Hardaker can do at stand off. Gives Sutcliffe most of the game at half back but got McGuire on the bench if a bit of experience is needed.

Picking Peacock for a CC game against a Championship side when he's knackered and we have to play the biggest pack in SL on a short turnaround.

Has a squad been named anywhere yet?

According to our Twitter, looks like you've gone with Hardaker, Jones Bishop, Watkins, Moon, Hall, Maguire, Leuluai, Peacock, Sinfield, Ward, Delaney, Bailey, kirke, clarkson, Briscoe, sutcliffe, singleton, walters, Ward.

Sigh.
