Semi-final team

All being well on the injury and Covid fronts, I think that the vast majority of the team picks itself. I believe that the following will make the 17: French, Manfredi, Hardaker, Gildart, Burgess, Tommy, Hastings, Havard, Powell, Partington, Faz, Isa, Lockers, Smith and Shorrocks. The other two spots are up for grabs.
You would think that Greenwood should be in, based on recent form and then one from Flower, Byrne and Bullock.

Unfortunately I don't think Manfredi will be there. Looking at him last week after his head injury I think it could be a few weeks before he passes any concussion tests.

I would have Bullock to start, and Greenwood on the bench. I don’t rate Partington as more than a lightweight tackler, but he isn’t a massively weak link. I am beginning to think that Shorrocks is more effective, as he seems to dent the line. So one or other of Partington and Shorrocks on the bench.

Ollie Partington 62 tackles and 123 metres last night, lightweight?

He’s nailed on to play. He also played for an hour uninterrupted. It is easy to see what he brings to the team and it is noticeable that our defence has improved since his return. Partington and Havard are our best props.
