Light at 2nd row.

More reason to choose Ratch and Bridge in the halves.

Dwyer and either Myler (my want) or Riley to miss out

I would like to see TS change as little as possible, a forced replacement for Westwood and leave the rest as it has been for the past few weeks. We look like we have finally started to click and this Friday is a huge test I don't want to see wire running around looking clueless again I have seen enough of that this season already and we have been threatening to come good recently.

A win on Friday and I may start to think we could maybe challenge this season after all.

Higham on bench purely because of the flare he will bring on after 30 minutes.

to miss out

I'm getting bored of saying this, but why does Myler warrant a straight return to the starting line-up on the basis of a brief warm-up stint off the bench against a poor Wakefield? Why change?

Crucial to the outcome will be how well we nullify Hardaker and Hall, and how much our pack imposes itself - the latter will be one hell of an ask given the troops we have out. On this basis we need extra forward power so that means no bench spot for Mr Myler for me I'm afraid.

Easy for me. This ^^^

Well if you are worried about forward power, just pray that Monas is fit.

I'm praying Monas is fit for all kinds of reasons. We need him to lead, rouse and lift the youngsters, and produce a personal performance of the kind we once took for granted.

Spot on. We do take Monas for granted. His workrate is immense. We need a leader on Friday to drive us forward and to keep us on the front foot.

Mike Monas was at his best v Stains. He'll be needed at that level again.

Agree with this 100%

Only two of Monaghan/myler/higham/Dwyer should be in the squad. Which means Dwyer and myler miss out. No way should we only have two forwards on the bench. A half back and a hooker on the bench is just a waste. We don't need myler in there anyway

Mobile team but afraid it's not going to get us the points you can't play a team with a defence like Leeds have with half a pack
The players missing has left a gap as wide as the Runcorn Mersey estuary and with the cup 1/4 coming up think I'll switch to supporting England in June not much better I know but as my missus says I don't ask for much !!!! Enjoy Friday I won't !

Myler doesn't deserve to come back into the team, no player has done anything to deserve to be dropped and we've found a working and winning partnership in Bridge and Racthford so let's keep it that way.

Bridge will stay at 6 for the remainder of the season, myler is on the bench against Leeds, laithwaite & currie in 2nd row, from a concrete source.
