Quote: newton warrior "I think that next week is a chance to look at the bigger picture in the current Super League format.
We are currently in a great position on the League Ladder, 5 pts clear, with two games in four days to come.
We have a massive clash at Wire on Monday followed by what will be a tricky clash against Cas just four days later.
I think it is important to get at least one win from these two fixtures.
With this in mind I would look at the bigger picture and play a younger side against Wire to give them experience of a big game, whilst playing a strong side against Cas to make sure of a win on Friday (as sure as possible anyway).
I know it goes against the usual thought process, but it is the reality of the hard work we have done so far this season, plus the play off system at present.
We could give everything against Wire and still loose on the night, whilst having nothing left for the Cas game and then potentially loosing that also.
Interesting week ahead and have we learned that going full out every game doesn't mean anything in the "bigger picture"'"
Huddersfield play Leeds on the Sunday before our Monday night game with Wire. This would mean a win against Wire could put us 7 points clear, and give more options around the latter end of the season and challenge cup tie(s).
