I’d go with that. I’d keep Powell back and reward O’Neill for his form and that way you have some cover for Leuluai if needed. I’d be tempted to put Smithies second row in place of Isa and to then get Mago on to the bench but to do that you’re putting Smithies directly opposite Bentley and I don’t think that’s something we need to risk doing.

Mago plays for me. XFactor and difference maker.

I would drop Kaide Ellis if he doesn’t want to go 4 props on bench

Leeds appear to have a few out. Big loss is Newman. They still have a team that can easily cause us problems. If we can play like we did against Saints we’ve got a good chance.

There is no way that Isa won’t play.

This is the team I’d go for. Isa had a bit of a nightmare away at Leeds, they’d look to exploit that. I do think they’ll pick Isa though.

Isa will play.

We may need him to move to centre if Field is needed in the halves.

Newman, Handley and Fusitua killed us in the game a few weeks ago.

Really aggressive and got their sets off to great starts.

Glad they aren’t playing.

Like the look of that bench having two Byrne's in there but i assume you meant Singo starting

Just hope we can get through it and Saints can find some good old British stiff upper lip Dunkirk mentality to get through their 'crisis' and set up the final.
