im with you Kevin T on Matty. a social video site shows Matt at his best playing at mainly left and sometimes right wing and taking the ball up from acting half while in those positions

I said earlier in the week that game time for those returning from injury was as important as the result on Friday, and I stick by it. On this basis I'm going with :



Ratchford

Ormsby

Evans

Currie

Monas

Bridge

O'Brien

Hill

Myler

Wood

Westwood

Waterhouse

Grix



Harrison

England

M.Monas

Laithwaite



Myler at hooker is a risk but he could interchange with Harrison, moving into the halves, Grix to hooker and Harrison to LF depending on how things are going.



Fantastic to see the walking wounded back, I just hope Catalans come to play footy and not to indulge in unchecked acts of violence.

I wouldn't be surprised if GOB misses out tomorrow with Myler replacing him. Monas and Grix can share the hooking role with us having plenty of back row options in that squad.

I think you're right MKC and without getting too tricky in addition TS could also play plenty of combinations in the backs even with Atkins and Russell out.



It would seem that TS is in a position to leave himself with the biggest possible selection headache come the Leeds game and heading into the play offs?

I wouldn't want Grix to have to defend against big forwards at 9 after just returning from another shoulder injury.

Spot on Rico, biggest problem for the SF has to be half back for me. Bridge was awful last Sunday (wasn't alone though) and has to have a good game tomorrow otherwise TS might revert to Ratchford and Myler. Almost every shirt is up for grabs next week imo.

Ratchford

Evans

Grix

J Monaghan

Ormsby

Bridge

Myler

Hill

M Monaghan

England

Waterhouse

Westwood

Currie



Wood

Laithwaite

Harrison

Dwyer



Atrocity & O'Brien to miss out.

If that happens matt k cat I doubt we'll be going the Wembley this year.

Unless there is a big improvement in attitude and form RD you will probably be proved correct. Irrespective of whether Chris Bridge is at 3 or 6.

The side for Friday looks to be a strong one, but it doesn't necessarily mean that TS is throwing his best side at Catalan in search of the points. I think it is more a case of getting his senior players ready for the playoffs - Laithwaite, Trent, Monas, Myler, Grix are all returning from injury and been given time to get match fit. It will be interesting to see the side he picks for the semi, so for instance will Currie feature, or will he play Trent and Grix.

Is Mickey Higham rested or injured ? I would imagine Grix slotting in at left centre .
