good strong squad

chance to rotate one of the props to give Cooper game time and poss give one of the young backs some game time

i wouldnt go wholesale changes as we need to win the game, and keep some consistency ahead of the game v KR the following week

Was hoping to see Havard’s name there, but good to see Cooper back.

Havard needs to reach 90% but is struggling to reach it, he’s stuck in the high 80’s I’ve been told 🙁

Hope he makes a full recovery from his injury this time 😊

Out of the backs I'd definitely leave Keighran and Miski on the right together to try and cement their partnership. Give Wardle and/or Marshall the night off and maybe one of French, Smith or Field

After the Leigh game i'd have thought Miski could do with a couple of weeks off as he seemed to be carrying a leg, but then he played and ran really well last week v Cas. So i agree, keep them 2 together to build a partnership, and if Junior is going to get a start, they'll need to get used to defending with him instead of Isa, so would be a good call

up to now apart from when we rested wholesale v London, we've had a pretty consistent 1-7, so keeping the others match prepd would be good as we may need them later in the season in bigger games than this weekend
