[quote="ComeOnYouUll":1w2jicpw]I would not risk Rapana, Sezer, Asiata, Ese'ese, Hardaker, Cartwright. Maybe not Cust either. We don't want to start the SL season missing any of them.[/quote:1w2jicpw] Under normal circumstances i wouldnt have played any first team players but having seen Cust and Sezer non performance against Cas i would definitely play them for at least half a game

[quote="hull2524":robeu92v]Difficult one. Do we go in for 40 min with decent team. Get them used to the plays etc......Then 2nd string to give them a good runout .....Then if you do that you risk injury?.......Devil you do Devil you dont[/quote:robeu92v] I'm assuming we can only name four on the bench, it's a competitive game.

Put the youngsters on the bench......As I say it's a hard one but I'm sure Cartwright has it sussed

It's certainly a difficult one really and it will be interesting to see what the coach decides selection wise. I'd go for the strongest team possible without risking anyone. Saturdays run out made it apparent that the spine need as much real match game time as possible. That leaves them open to injuries I know, but they need to be more fluent and 'co-ordinated' than they were at Cas. and coaches tell us proper contested games are the only thing that gives you that. What is most interesting for me is to see how we approach the game as a team. In past years we all know we would have gone into it thinking we had it won before we went out there, but I want to see us showing respect for the opposition but keeping our foot on the gas for the full 80 minutes. if we are well in front is when we see if we can stick to the game plan. No dropping off tackles in defence and no easing off or 'being greedy' in attack. It would be great to reward the Kemps with a place in the 17 but will they be in it for Catalan?? If not they will keep players who are to play in France out of the last full on game we have before the season proper starts. Our attitude and application will, for me, tell us a lot about the culture in the club, the amount of accountability the players have for the coach and the mental toughness this group has. It will be an interesting afternoon.

Unless the RFL change their stance, he’ll get a big ban if he is guilty of any infringement in the next 2 games, so best he sits out the York game.
