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?

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

Re: Challenge Cup Draw
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.GeoffN wrote:Dragging things painfully back on-topic...

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.

Re: Challenge Cup Draw
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.
