Scarlet Pimpernell:
We beat a much stronger Salford side, no amount of loan signings are going to even match the quality of the team we hammered. I think he could rest both half backs and bring in Russell and move Jowitt. Scott will move to centre, one or both props rested, Pitts on the subs bench with Nikotemo coming in along with the young prop.
I think we would benefit more from continuity in the spine to be honest. Certainly at 1,6,7 at least.
Hood looks to be carrying something for over a month now imo. He’s not taking line on close tomorrow the try line and doesn’t look fit to me. When Smith came on we looked markedly faster and more threatening in that 25 minute spell where we almost matched saints. We look better him starting too imo. I think we can afford Russell at 9 this one.
I’m not into resting the props after 2 weeks off either. Just a few edge forwards imo.
I can definitely see Scott in the centre.
