Or if Cas muster one last big performance to beat Wire? Why choose Leeds and give wi*an a likely easier semi, when we could hope that wi*an and Leeds batter seven bells out of each other.

I'd drop Richards as he was crap going forward but good in defence

Stats show he was still better than Laffranchi ...

Richards and Thompson both made the same metres. Both were good in defence.

I thought Richards did what he was asked to. He was steady plodder with the ball and did he defence. He's brought more to the team than laffranchi has.

However, I'd bring big Alex in for Richards as I think Thompson should stay in the 17 but Id also consider leaving Boof out but he will go with Boof for his experience.

I think I would always have Thompson in the side, he,s a hard energetic player.
