Would be disappointed if we rest players and get beat this week. It defies the logic of winning last week.

Spot on. They are full time professionals who are finally starting to click and find some consistency, or so we hope. It would be bonkers to interrupt that momentum!

Agreed with all on here, we should play our strongest team, it would be tempting to rest Hill as out of all the forwards he deserves it, just an immense player!

No matter what team you put out you should beat us easily.

we can't afford to rest anyone!

there is no way that the Bridge - ratchford combination should be broke up... They have looked the best combination by quite some distance.

I am definately in the camp that supports the play your strongest team/continuity/momentum approach, as we appear just about to be getting going and as previous posters have said what is the point of winning last week to possibly lose this?

We should do our best to take the two, a Bratfurd type banana skin is best avoided, it was dreadful, nail the game as early as possible please Wire, as teams that get a sniff of a chance are all quite capable of making it hard work for us

WOW. I didn't expect you to come round to that so soon MD.

Everyone posts are totally right, there is no wrong answer.
To expand on my view is always to have your best players nearest the ball.
But Ratchford and Bridge are vital. If we can afford to pamper them before a CC game I would.
I mean spell them or just perhaps bring Bridge off if the job is done by ht. Ratchford maybe could do with the 80mins.
Is Westwood 100%? Should we give him another week now he's had a run out?
Is it worth the risk to play Monas? A great level to play Dwyer instead.
Isn't the CC too important to risk our key men for a game we ought to win comfortably?

Imo same side as last week with presumably Currie in for Waterhouse. Hopefully we'll be in a position to give Mick Monas and Hill less minutes.

Agree with this except grix for waterhouse, I am sure I have read that he should be back for this one and although currie should become a fantastic player I wouldn't have him ahead of grix at this stage.

Hopefully we will build a good lead and be able to keep hill and Monaghan on the bench to rest up a little.

Need to play the best 13 available regardless of the cup game. We are no position to be resting players, every two points is vavulable regards of our play off ranking.
