I'd play him Friday, then see how he bares up for Monday.

Of the two, I'd expect it'll be easier to blow off the cobwebs against Salford as opposed to Hull at Hull.

Get a score on Salford, take that confidence to Hull after they have a war against Hull KR.

Because I would like to win both Easter games and if we rest a couple of the older player whom may not have as quick recovery times as the younger ones we will stand a better chance at HULL who will be the stronger test IMO ,

give him half a game against salford and then see how he is after it

Going off what Smith said after the game Briers will play and could of played last week.

You have a good valid point , but I would lean to being a bit more cautious with Briers 2 games in quick succession maybe too much for someone coming back from a serious ankle injury and the recovery time of an older player is longer than that of the younger ones .
but as I have said TS is the main man and has better information than we do so I will trust and support his judgement !

Wouldn't that be a waste of a rotational spot on the bench, you need four players whom rotate at Easter more than any other period throughout the season imo !

rest briers for this got more than enough cover unleash a fully fit briers on plus grix is playing well so give him a chance to put some solid performances to a class performance against salford

If Briers is fit he will play, SIMPLES.

i would give him half a game against salford get him use to playing again , rather he played half the game than being rusty for the hull game where they will just target him time after time

Briers from the bench?

We will make the playoffs anyway, IMO we could field a reserve team and throw this one, and concentrate on the Hull one, like Millwards Saints used to do.

Yup, I would go with that.

But let's wait and see!

We should always be looking to play a full strength squad.

We may be sitting pretty in 2nd place in the table, but every set of 2 points matters.

Our strength in depth should only be tested through injuries and not through resting players against teams we feel are inferior to ourselves.

Regardless of how many we win by, Littler will score.

Strange how he always scores isn't it, same
with Gardner wen did he last fail to score against us ?
