Rest Smith
Rest shorocks
Bibby to centre with Hanley or Halsall? On the wing
Harvard rested

I'd say Rest KPP but if Bateman plays put him loose to Rest shorrocks

Some may disagree but with TL also out we are going to miss Isa and that wing will be targeted

KPP looked completely done in Friday it’s time to rest him,so I’ll expect him to be the first name on the team sheet.

Given the grubby nature of Isa swinging arm into Welsby I’d be amazed if he gets away without a lengthy ban so no wonder he’s not named

Isa should be sectioned by the club for his actions the other night.
He knows the club are struggling at the moment with confidence and injuries. He should have more maturity and experience about him then the way he acted against saints

Field is a doubt, hopefully he'll be fit enough to play.
