The final game and beyond : Tue Aug 30, 2022 1:33 pm  

So some talk of whether we rest some given We are assured a home game.
Personally I think we should play to win as we have not been at our best and need to build some momentum.
Salford are assured a playoff place- could they rest a few hoping Leeds win and they finish 6th to avoid the away trip to catalan. Will wigan rest again this week meaning Catalan overtake us if we lose to wakey (god forbid!!!)
Be interesting to see the team tomorrow. And then see what the rest do on the back of that.

team out for Friday - a pretty strong squad. good. The leeds game appears to have been costly as still no fages - hope this is just to keep him from harms way and not because hes already harmed
trout yates and greenwood rested, seb back in!!! and mcQueen back also,
pryce, leutele, golding, lolohea, hill, levi, lawrence, jones, mcqueen, english, seb, AOB, wilson, leroy, louis, russell, innes, mason, ashworth, hewitt, king

i would like to see
tui
innes
king
golding
louis
pryce
russell
english
AOB
wilson
jones
Mcqueen
lawrence

seb,mason,ashworth,levi

id probably rest hill leutele hewitt and leroy also, that team is still strong enough to win. Id let AOB play big minutes using levi only if needed.

Its finding that balance between resting players & being over confident, especially considering Wakefield are flying high at the moment & will fancy their chances to turn us over.

You could probably play your reserves on Friday with the ref being one of your ex academy players.

I don’t think it really matters though- we have a home tie to start with regardless of whether we win on Friday. then are going to have to go away to wigan or saints. Then will likely get the other IF we win that one.

Watson has said he will rest some of the middles tomorrow given the quick turnaround.
Salford have put out a much weakened squad hoping to avoid the trip away to Catalan and get us at home.
Oh I really do hope Cas beat Leeds as salford would have to go to Catalan then regardless and playing a weakened team could really spoil their momentum. How funny that would be.
At home I’m happy to play any of them.

A shame this game feels a bit Meh.
It’s irrelevant to us really and I think we will go into it a bit half hearted not wanting to get injured or banned.
A second string pack and main playmaker missing I think this will be a bit flat from our perspective.
Means everything to wakey though
