Martin has played a lot of minutes and taken more than a few whacks and Tindall needs more game time, otherwise Martin keeps his place on merit. Start with a big pack, hence Sao in the second row. Need to be able to clear our lines effectively and defend hard on their line as I think Warrington will look to quell our enthusiasm and run over us early on.

Yeah think you may be right mate tbh

Nice to have some options.

Think you could be right regarding Martin/Tindall

Wouldn't have a back 3 of Scott lane Cator.To lightweight. Think ATM lane Cator deserve to start. Just not seeing anything in Scot to start him in 2 row. Would have Sao starting.

I know we are still thin on experience but we need to protect these young players. Particularly those with some promise.

Yep I agree, have Scott on the bench with

Smith
Pele
Aydin

too much speed for us
Leeds made easy metres against us.Warrington will do the same
good call on Martin.The lad has done very well and has a big future but like you i would rest him and give Tindall a run

Grix said the other day that if Trueman is fit, he'll start rather than come off the bench.

Never been a fan of bringing a player straight back into the first team following a serious injury so it has to be managed well.
Dont think it matters whether he starts or comes off the bench as long as he doesnt get flogged for 80 minutes

Wire got a few injured and resting a couple of forwards also .

I agree.

Coming back from a horrible long term injury, I would have rather played him in the Reserves this week and brought him back at London.

I’m sure he’s been running and moving well in training, however an initial low key run out in the Reserves would be a less risky first step back and a confidence builder than an SL away game at Warrington who will be after the 2 match points and probably running at Jake whenever they can.

thats so you only waste one sub, its annoying as hell having someone coming back from injury, come off the bench, then go off again, you've used 2 interchanges there

Good point, I would only expect him to play 40 minutes tops, its all about London away next week for us sadly.

Problem is a lot of the reserve games are on 4G which is to bigger risk
