| 2 games in 3 days.
As tempting as it would be to play Field and French vs Saints I don’t think it’s wise to play either in both games.
I’d probably play start each of them at full back in each game, resting the other.
Having them fit for the playoffs is key.
Saints
French
Miski
Bibby
KPP
Marshall
Cust
Smith
Cooper
O’Neill
Singleton
Farrell
Bateman
Partington
Mago
Ellis
Byrne
Shorrocks
Hull KR
Field
Bibby
Halsall
KPP
Miski
Cust
Smith
Ellis
O’Neill
Bryne
Isa
McDonnell
Smithies
Shorrocks
Mago
Singleton
Partington
Only one game in the weekend for our speedsters (French, Field, Marshall) and for our high work rate back row (Farrell, Bateman, Smithies).
Just an idea. Think both teams would be capabale of winning.
Getting Tommy, Powell or Havard back would be handy.

| Well anyway if rumours are to be believed we'll have Hopoate, Makinson, Percival and Sione all back for the play-offs so there will be no excuses.
Hopoate, Makinson, Hurrell, Sione, Percival, Welsby, Lomax would be a dream to be able to put out in the semi - here's hoping . . . .
Will be very interesting indeed to see how we line up vs Toulouse at the weekend.

I fear you might be right about the hobbling! The Toulouse game is make or break for two or three players' seasons I'd suggest.

I hope you do have a full as much as poss squad.
Didnt Makinson,Percival,Welsby,Lomax,Hurrell play in the last semi you lost,Will Sione and Hopoate make that much difference ?

Hopoate is the biggest potential returnee to be honest - he’s the one that means we have three ball players at 1/6/7 - Ben Davies there has been pretty hopeless (no offence to the lad, he’s not a 6).
Compare Hopoate’s classy contributions at Magic to Ben Davies in the semi and you probably have your answer.
You’re right though - that semi final team looks veritably packed compared to recent weeks! The halves killed us that day - Lomax was struggling to pass and Davies was really poor plus Josh Simm served up a bit of a disaster.
All of which could of course happen again - Simm is an experienced back up player now who we are entitled to have to rely on, he just had a mare. You can’t complain about first reserves having a mare - I think our biggest issue that day was Woolf picked the wrong team and Wigan were their usual lethal selves when the opportunities were there.
