I think our squad is well balanced in that we do not have any superstars , we can have 6 or 7 changes and not weaken the team. I would like to see Tansey, Hall, Gibson, Owen, Yates, Walker, Anakin all get a game.
It looks like Scruton may get a ban, Moore was limping, Finn took a knock and could do with a rest, Girmond and England need a rest. Jowitt took a knock.
Not sure about the excellent Howarth, the reports of his broken elbow would suggest that it may be an idea to give him more time off even though he says he wants to play. The beauty of the squad is that we can afford to give players the proper amount of time to recover from knocks.

I'm presuming so as we tried to register him with Oxford so he could get some game time last week but unfortunately just missed the cut off.

Quick question do season ticket holders get in free?

If all are fit

Can I just point out that 11 of that team were missing on Sunday against Wigan and Craig Hall cut his fingernails too short and we all know how painful that is.'"


That looks like too much of a change and although Sheffield are not breaking any pots in the Championship, we could be all over the place with so many changes.
I'm certainly in favour of resting a few but we could slip on the proverbial banana skin, if we make wholesale changes to a winning team, just ask Wigan icon_wink.gif

Do you think that team would be strong favourites to beat Sheffield

They should be able to beat them but, changing 1,6,7 & 9 would make for a very interesting evening and we should be making absolutely certain that we make it into the next round.
Personally, I'm all for fielding our strongest team, allowing for some tinkering if anyone is carrying a knock plus, maybe giving the two youngsters a breather (even though they will, no doubt, be desperate to play).

Play anyone, Thaler is the referee icon_lol.gif In all seriousness I'd rest players who have taken a high work load over easter to freshen them up for a massive game against Hull FC.

Lets just say that if we had to play that team on Friday because of injuries, it would not be too unrealistic to expect us to win comfortably.

Normally a fan of sticking with a winning team but after a hectic easter some serious rotation is probably in order.

I'd rest Jowitt, Johnstone, Moore, Scruton, England, Kirmond, Miller to name but a few. These players for me are our main strike players and after four games in three weeks need to freshen up.

I'd play the following (keeping Finn on for no longer than required).

Tansey
BJB
Gibson
Tupou
Owen

Finn
Hall

Tuopu
Annakin
Molloy
Arona
Howarth
Simon

Yates
Walker
Anderson
Sio

Move Howarth up to H/B when Finn is done.

Not disrespecting Sheffield here as I'm sure they are capable of kicking our butts if we don't take them seriously.

Is this the same Sheffield that beat us in the middle 8s.

I would keep Miller in, he's on fire at the moment.
Would replace Finn with Hall.
As for other rotation, CC seems to know how to do this.

I think there will be half a dozen or so changes as there is genuine competition for places in a number of positions, but I wouldn't tinker too much.

I'd possibly sit out some of the forwards such as England, Kirmond, Scruton & Simon who have played a lot of games and anyone else who may be carrying a knock, such as Moore.

I wouldn't change the backline a great deal, maybe bring Hall/Gibson/Tansey or Owen in.

Need to be careful we don't take this fixture lightly though.

Personally I would give Jowitt and Johnstone a break in the backs, Finn in the halves, England, Kirmond, and maybe one of Scruton or Simon, if Anderson is fit.

I would retain Lyne and Arundel, as I think over the last couple of games they have grown in confidence, and also Jones-Bishop, to retain some strike power out wide.

Hall in for Finn.

Then in the forwards, Anderson to come in, retaining Arona, Scruton/Simon, with one of Yates or Walker.

Would go with a back 3 of Molloy, Tupou and Annakin.

I would even consider resting Moore, he has been massive for us this last four games, and has been at the heart of the good things we have been doing. Sharing the hooking duties with Sio and Howarth.

If he is match ready would it be worth giving Batchelor a run, even if it is as a spot on the bench

Yeah its a tricky one, dobt want to break up a winning team but also need to protect the regulars. Sheffield will be right up for it and we need to be careful.

Really hope we can muster a decent cup run this year, did wonders for Cas.
