Quote: NickyKiss "It’s been a tough run and we’re in a far better position that we could’ve hoped prior to the Leigh game. I think the target may have been to raise for those 3 games and then use this game and the England break to try and let the players refresh but we’ll see.
The overseas guys will get time off next week, so they should play IMO. The ones I think will be selected for England (Marshall, Faz and Havard) I’d rest. I also think KPP, Smithies and Smith will be selected in the England squad/team but I’d play them. The first 2 because they’ve had rests anyway and Smith because we need him.
That would leave us something like-
French
Miski Thornley Wardle King
Shorrocks Smith
Byrne Powell Ellis
KPP Isa Smithies
Subs
Mago Hill Nsemba O’Neill'"
Hampshire is not far off now, it will be interesting to see if he makes the squad this week. If not, I would imagine that he would be in the frame post the international fixture.
