I think you're right MKC and without getting too tricky in addition TS could also play plenty of combinations in the backs even with Atkins and Russell out.

It would seem that TS is in a position to leave himself with the biggest possible selection headache come the Leeds game and heading into the play offs?

Ratchford
Evans
Grix
J Monaghan
Ormsby
Bridge
Myler
Hill
M Monaghan
England
Waterhouse
Westwood
Currie

Wood
Laithwaite
Harrison
Dwyer

Atrocity & O'Brien to miss out.

If that happens matt k cat I doubt we'll be going the Wembley this year.

Unless there is a big improvement in attitude and form RD you will probably be proved correct. Irrespective of whether Chris Bridge is at 3 or 6.

The side for Friday looks to be a strong one, but it doesn't necessarily mean that TS is throwing his best side at Catalan in search of the points. I think it is more a case of getting his senior players ready for the playoffs - Laithwaite, Trent, Monas, Myler, Grix are all returning from injury and been given time to get match fit. It will be interesting to see the side he picks for the semi, so for instance will Currie feature, or will he play Trent and Grix.

Is Mickey Higham rested or injured ? I would imagine Grix slotting in at left centre .
