agree , cant see madge making wholesale changes anyway

plus i want all 3 trophys , so no easing up please

I would hope Madge rests one or two players but I doubt he'll make wholesale changes. I think Mossop should be considered for a rest since he's been playing a lot of game time without a break. Lima was rested for Salford and I think Mossop should be rested against Bradford.

Other than that I can't see who might benefit from a rest other than Carmont.

Sam Tomkins
Charnley
Joel Tomkins
Marsh
Richards
Finch
Deacon
Prescott
Leuluai
Lima
Hansen
Hoffman
O'Loughlin

McIlorum
Coley
Farrell
Hock

If it were my choice I'd go.

Sam
Charnley
Joel
Marsh
Richards
Deacon
Leuluai
Lima
McIlorum
Coley
Hoffman
Hansen
Lockers

Prescott
Hock
Farrel
Roberts

That would mean Carmont, Finch and Mossop all received a rest. And I'd make sure that as soon as we secured a commanding lead, that Sam and Lockers were replaced for the rest of the match by Roberts and Farrel.

I think we should push for a big win. Cos wire may end up losing this weekend at Catalans and that would mean we could lose 130-0 the week after the cup final and still be top. Rest only the players like preccy who need it.

if Raynors playing, i would rest Joel.

I'd like to see us go

1. Amos Roberts
2. Josh Charnley
3. Joel Tomkins
4. Stefan Marsh
5. Pat Richards
6. Joe Mellor
7. Paul Deacon
8. Lee Mossop
9. Tommy Leuluai
10. Jeff Lima
11. Harrison Hansen
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Liam Farrell

14. Mike McIllorum
15. Eamon O'Carroll
16. Gareth Hock
17. Paul Prescott

Rests for Carmont, Lockers, Coles and Sam games for marsh amos and ocarroll. Preccy needs to play to check his hamstring.

And that team above should still hammer bradford.

The main 2 we should rest are Sam and Carmont because we simply don't have replacements for those 2. I'd rest them not really to keep them fresh but to just make sure they don't get injured. The injury to Cross proves how easy they can occur and whereas we have pretty strong back up in other areas we don't in the centres and no team could replace a guy like Sam.

Would you not put Richards into that bracket? (If not solely for his kicking and defensive contribution).

I'd hate seeing Darrell Goulding's name on the Wembley teamsheet.

The above without doubt!

Richards is close to that bracket as are guys like Tommy, Finch and Lockers but I feel if we lost any of those 4 we could juggle things around and just about cope but if we lost Sam for example the game becomes pretty level in terms of who's favourite imo. Also if we lost Carmont we simply don't have anyone to come in of anywhere near that standard and we'd probably be left with a second row at centre on one side and a winger at centre on the other(Goulding and Marsh are both wingers imo).

As it stands i'd rest all 6 of the players i've named as i've done in my team I named at the start but if Maguire only wants to leave 2 or 3 out like he did against Salford then Sam and Carmont must be the first 2 closely followed by Pat Richards.

I would rest Sam and Carmont

What ever happened to tinytim??

Was saved from death at the last minute due to the unexpected kindness of Mr. Scrooge.

from what i have been told today, Mossop and finch rested and ocarroll is in the squad

I'm glad to hear Mossop is to receive a rest. Played in every game this season I believe.
