Play a team similar to the one at London, maybe resting 1-2 more players, i wouldnt mind losing to them lot and then to be fully fit going into the playoffs.

Bring it on!

Once the challenge cup is over then i hope TS plays more or less a full side
1) to build up momentum going into the playoffs
2) really really hate loosing to our chemical neighbours

What if a key player, such as Briers or Hodgson, gets injured, is it not worth playing a weaker team and possibly getting beat by Widnes but knowing we have a full strength team for the playoffs, rather than beating Widnes but risk an injury?

Hyde took the "United" from their club name a few years ago. They are simply Hyde FC now.

I take your point mate, however, what if after the qualifying round Briers and Hodgson get injured (maybe because of lack of game time), what if, we have all our players fit and healthy and for some strange reason we still don't win the G/F.

The game against Widnes is a must win game

a virtual side? do we enter it online???

I think I can honestly say I now only care about these games left in the season. CCF then QP02=QSF2= GF, or QPO2=PSF1=QSF1=GF. Not saying I agree with it but we need to deal the cards we are dealt. Basically 4/5 games left in the season. In summary win 4 games and we do the double and make Wire history.

We really getting worried over Widnes? Should have full team out for rest of year now need momentum going into the main part of season.

This.

I expect a fairly strong squad for Widnes, after all do we not have the next week off? Don't thick players have 2 or 3 weeks without a game will be benefitial.

^This.

TS can get the Crosfields reserve team on loan and field them against Huddersfield and Widnes for all I care.

Our regular league season ended as soon as the final hooter went against Wigan last week.

I think you are onto something there SLIMply. We could avoid playing anybody at all and rest the whole squad.
