If Matty Smith has a slight injury then I would rest him.
The selection of Tierney & Bowen & Hampshire hopefully is to give Smith a rest.
Not sure why Manfredi is rested, hopefully not injured.

I'd go:-

Bowen

Tierney
Gelling
Sarginson
Burgess

Hampshire
Williams

Mossop
McIlorum
Clubb
Farrell L
Farrell C
Bateman

Bench:-
Greenwood
Sutton
Patrick
Tomkins L

Tautai & Matty Smith to miss out from the squad named.

I wouldn't drop or rest Hampshire for Bowen, he's one player that needs games, more minutes will help him improve.

Hampshire did as much to win us the game on Friday than anyone with that terrific try saving tackle a few minutes before the Burgess try. The one at the end wasn't bad either.

Interesting that both Bowen and Hampshire are in the squad - if both play you'd imagine Hampshire will play half back.

I think Smith might be given a rest after picking up a knock which prevented him from taking that final conversion. Releasing Rocky into the halves, which is what everyone has wanted to see!
The other player I would rest is Bateman. He put a monster effort in against St Helens and has been our most consistent player this year IMO. He made around 45 tackles in just 70 minutes, as well as taking the ball in plenty of times! Bowen at fullback, Tierney on the wing, Patrick at loose. The rest will probably pick itself.

The Crosby decision baffles me. In the 19 but not used on Friday, not selected Monday.

Guessing he's not quite ready. He wasn't actually in the final 19 on Friday as he didn't warm up and Greenwood (who wasn't named) did.

he pulled up injured.
Shaun stated: "I am down a starting middle with losing Dom Crosby this morning so both teams are busted, we had to make changes but it's part of the game. "

on Friday only 10 of our named 1st 17 squad actually played missing were:-
1. Bowen
2. Charnley
8. Crosby
10. Flower
13. O'loughlin
15. Thornley
16. Powell

goes to show that strength in depth of squad is important as Saints only had 6 of their 1st 17 named squad missing..

this is posted as tongue in cheek as the 1-17 are probably not the starting 17 if neither team had any injuries/suspensions

that's what a squad is for.....adequate cover for all eventualities, there will always be injuries in a full on contact sport. It's how you cope when you get them what counts

Could pride be going before a fall?

Hope so

Would be more surprised if he said he expected to lose.... Move on, nothing to see...
