Option 1 definitely, keep changes to a minimum. Let them run riot against Salford, then see how we can manage Wire away (let's face it they will up their game against us). If all things go well this then puts us in decent shape for the difficult semi final.

Option 4 - French, Field, Cust, O'Neill - Smith off the bench, Cust to hooker.

The Wire fixture is a great one for us the week before the semi. It’ll be tough and we’ll have to play well to win. A game like Monday would be been a shocker for us IMO.

Be interested to see the Wigan squad - Saints have decided to chuck the Cas game in favour of resting bodies after Easter (which itself was on the back of a knock out game away to Catalans).

I understand your point and this is nothing against Bibby but we really need to leave this attitude behind if we're to bridge the gap to Saints. We should play the best available and drive performances that way. The likes of Isa or Bibby commanding automatic berths in the side because they've done ok in the past or are good club men or whatever isn't the way forward. Bibby has been average to poor in the last few games and, even when moved to the wing, was anonymous on Monday in a game where absolutely everyone else shone. Wing isn't French's best position either but he was still unplayable at times.

For me Bibby is currently our 4th best winger and 5th best centre (once KPP is back). That shouldn't be enough to get him in the team. Same for Isa. This is a big test for Peet in my eyes. I hope he has the necessary to pick on form.

Just seen your squad and wow

Don’t agree with the two fixtures over Easter, so fair play if that’s a way of making a stand. I don’t think the powers that be and Sky will be particularly happy about it mind.

Surely you're not trying to make excuses for a game against some mid table Yorkshire rubbing rags ? Have a bit of faith in your systems for goodness sake, you'll be getting banned from RedVee with an attitude like that

I'm looking forward to YG coming on here and telling us how they won with more than 5 out

(Watch them win now )

Tried to get a bet on myself but it’s been removed at the minute.

I fully understand why he’s done it. I don’t say this to get any sort of reaction from Saints fans but Woolf doesn’t have a guaranteed Covid card he can play this year, so he’s had to be upfront and honest about giving the players a refresh. As a big international fan, I just hope this isn’t a sign of what is to come in June when the England game is planned.

Imagine the uproar if Wigan did that

Give over. We've earned the right to do this. Its the reason why teams have squads. Clearly a number of players are injured or carrying bad enough knocks to risk further injury if they played on Friday.

If this game impacted on promotion or relgation then I would maybe agree. Unless there is a 100 point swing we'll still be on top on Monday morning.

If Peet chose to do the same then fair play. No-one has had the turnaround we have and again on the back of Catalan A in the Cup.

Think it’s time they give him a proper go at loose forward instead of throwing him on for 10/15 mins when it’s too late to get into the game or trying to make do with him at hooker. A good, quick ball player is what we’ve lacked for a while. His tackling isn’t really a problem either.

I agree regarding Shorrocks but, barring injury or resting, you can't move Smithies from there as it stands. He's playing too well. If Smithies is rested then Shorrocks all the way. I suspect Isa will get the nod before that happening though unfortunately.
