This is the 17 i would choose on the day.

I'd go the same as Karetaker.

No Sandow. Is he really injured?

If we get past St Helens on Thursday it will leave TS a massive headache with whether to bring Sandow back for the Final (if fit). I would stay with Dec Patton.

Julien & Patton to miss out.

However, I think TS will move Ratch to Full back and Russell to Penny's wing. So leaving Penny & julien to miss out.

Unless Patton has a poor game, it would be be foolish to bring Sandow back in with no match practice and dodgy muscles from foot to hip. I reckon Alffi_7's comment at the end will probably be right for this week though. Alas.

I reckon at the start of the year the team that Smith wanted went something like...

Ratch
Russell Evans Atkins Lineham
Gidley Sandow
Hill Clark Sims
Currie Hughes
Westerman

Dodds Westwood Dwyer Bailey

2 people would drop Patton already, bit harsh.

Possibly, but at this point, Gidley is the better player, and I like what Russell offers at FB.

Only one dropped him, I think.

In addition some posters might post their pick others post what they think TS might go with?

Got a feeling this could be a game too far for the youngsters

Yes, I agree I think TS will omit Penny and Julien.
