Dragging things painfully back on-topic...

What do people think MM should do about team selection? Strongest squad, or give some of the youngsters a run out?

I'd go for fringe players, a mixture of regular and reserve players. The likes of Pryce, if fit, Farrell etc

Sorry Geoff got a bit carried away ;-) I'd love to see some young lads getting a go as long as they're going with the intention of putting everything into it. I know Sheff are a different kettle of fish but the game against Barrow was a bit too close for comfort if you ask me.
Gareth Thomas before his first game: "You wanna spend 10 mins getting smashed up by these guys..Big dudes here.."

Maybe have a look at the strengths and weaknesses from within the Sheffield team and try to utilise fringe players where there is no real threat by opposition players.
If the Sheffield centres arent too strong, it would be good to see somene like Ian Thrnley getting a run out.
Core positions to still remain the strongest possible 1, 6, 9, & 13.
Players looking tired or carrying light knocks should be rested.
Not to get complacent.

Beacause of our lack of trophy's over the last few years i think it has to be strongest team every time in the cup . There will be some chance to blood youngsters via the interchange in home league games if our form holds up.
2002 and EW is hooked
