Kelly and Thorman will still be in charge for this one by the looks.
KR were doing well against wire - holding them to nil before half time. Green got a red card for decking Jordan cox - so it's unlikely he will feature on Friday. They had to settle for the draw.
Let's see if we can show the same grit and determination we did in Thursday. I expect to see a similar team to the one that played against hull.

Desperate for Thommos coach,they saying struggling for numbers,would rather stay at home than go on boring no beer official transport.Innit.

Eh?

I'd like to keep the same team, however Ta'ai looks like he could do with a rest. Saints and Warrington on paper wouldn't be the games I'd rest him in. It's an important game while the miracle of a top 8 is still on so it would be a risk.
If we insist on playing Brough where would anyone play him. Could Ellis move to 13 with Hichcliffe back to hooker and Wood or Leeming to miss out?

For me Ellis isn't strong enough defensively to play at 13.
if hinchy plays back at 9 leeming will miss out as Kyle can cover the halves. If hinchy stays at 13 then brierley misses out or goes to FB.
I suspect Connor won't play as well as that again this season.....

This is a very big game.

Finishing in 9th or 10th position gives us an extra home game which is a huge advantage.

We need to win at HKR are one of the teams we can realistically finish above.

The game against Warrington is also a biggy as they play in the CC semi 6 days later so will have one eye on that.

Saints are hot and cold so we could get 6 points.

I think Widnes will win one game and if Salford get there points back will be in the 8. So finishing in the top 8 is virtually impossible.

9rh to 10th is in our grasp.

We have to target the next 3 games starting with HKR.

Brough has to play as he is fresh.

Connor should stay at full back.

It is case of who do you play with Brough. Ellis or BRierley.

The other option is to look at our LHS and play Wardle, Murphy Connor there and put BRierley to Full back.

Taai on the bench back at second row to rest him after he played Prop.

Hkr are big in the pack so we need to nullify them there.

Why change a winning team at all, but if Brough comes back in and is preferred to Ellis, why would you put Ellis in someone else's position. If he can't hold his own position, why would he be good enough to get some one else's. Typical PA style that, shunt the whole team around to get one man in.

Wardle won't be playing any time soon

Wood and Ellis had top games, did nothing wrong, for me they deserve another go.

brough back for this one

so will partner ellis

brierley may not play as connor put in mom performance last time at full back

hinchy to stay loose with wood / leeming at hooker

not much else to change really

still in the hunt for super 8's

As my post already suggested, I totally agree with you. That team won, that team plays next game, unless someone needs a rest.

I honestly think Brierly is our future main go to man and he should defiantly have some back to back games in his preferred position.

Leeming looked most comfortable I've seen him,just concentrated on getting the basics right,as in an accurate pass from acting half.

About Hinchy,he is one hell of a tackler.

Not a thing should change, same 17 should be out there in same posituons, Broughy should bide his time as should every single player every single game, tell me 1 player that deserves to be dropped after Friday? Whole issue while Anderson was here, we get shut and folks want same thing to happen? Connor is a fullback so play him there,Sam Wood is a centre so play him there, Brierley is a halfback so play him there, Hinchy is a loose forward so play him there. Not rocket science folks. Only possible change is Ukuma who isn't a prop forward and doesnt need ruining like we did to Faalogo

Lot to play for in this, we can still get above Widnes, Wakey and Cas......need some luck but it is still possible....IF we win could close the gap as looking at the fixtures all three have tough games, as do we but more of the same and who knows
