Harvie Hill is playing for the academy today so can’t really see him in the squad tomorrow.

Scored a try in the first half 😊

With Huddersfield breathing down our neck can’t afford to loose a game really. It’s a shame really as giving him a game would have been massive for his development and could have given someone a good rest

The heat of Huddersfield's breath on our neck cooled a bit this afternoon!

We would not if we were struggling or if we had lads ready to step up now, but they have left or signed elsewhere for lack of opportunity. I would not expect it at the moment. Both Junior N'semba and Hill need time in the Championship in the future.

Field - French - Halsall - Bibby - Marshall - Cust - Smith
Cooper - O’Neill - Byrne - Faz - KPP - Smithies
Mago - Ellis - Shorrocks - Singleton
I think they could get the job done.
A strong team with perhaps one youngster gives the best opportunity to blood new talent. We need to get the balance right between showing the opposition respect and giving pathway to youngsters to keep them interested.
We are at the business end of the season, why would we blood youngsters now?
Most likely to finish second and can afford to take risks to rest and rotate ?

Tough game today Wakefield win will see them safe. We are going to have to play well to beat them. Saints have the easier run in and will finish top. Our superior for should see us finish second with 2 or 3 wins from remaining games.
