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  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.

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.

| I'd play Moore as he has been out for a while and game time will be good, whereas Sio has played every game this year.
Sio, Finn and Miller are the only players who have featured in every game. I assume we are going to put a video together to explain why our team has had to chopped and changed because of injuries and niggles.

Pretty sure Moore was limping after the game at Wigan, he is one of our most vital players thus Id rest for a big game against Hull FC.

Yep, I get your point but I see it the opposite.
Finn to me has been everything I hoped for, a real steady eddy who does the job of moving the team around. He’s playing the same now as on day one (maybe with more confidence now), but looks better due to the vast improvement of the players around him. That said he won’t get any better and he could be replaced short term if the worst happened by IMO Howarth. So we can afford to let him play in this game against a team we have to show some respect to.
Miller on the other hand is a four seasons in a day player, but recently he’s been unstoppable and a real match winner. If he gets crocked I can’t see an instant replacement and we need him to beat the top teams. I don’t want to risk him in a game he’s not needed in and I’d rather keep him fresh because we’ve seen how quickly his form can drop - unlike Finn who is always reliable.
Just how I see it and luckily we don't pick the team
