What will Radford do, we have a good chance of 2nd and potentially if we win, we could be 2nd at Wembley.

Fully fit except Kelly (who I would have rested anyway), I'd also rest Houghton, Carlos and Ellis, my side would be

Shaul
Michaels
Fonua
Griffin
Talanoa
Connor
Sneyd
Watts
Washy
Taylor
Manu
Mini
Tomo

Green
Bowden
Fash
Turgut

Could also maybe use Masi and Litten and rest a couple more.

I'd go with something like that. We don't want to do a Leeds and rest everyone, but I think a couple would be wise. I'm sure Gaz will put his hand up to play though.

Re: Hudds on Friday : Tue Aug 15, 2017 8:46 am  

I think a few of those will play, Kelly the only one who sounds certain to be out.

Radford hasn't mentioned Shaul coming back in any of the press I have seen this week either?

... I don't think he'll be risked, but it makes our half back selection awkward.

With regards to Ellis, he has only recently come back from a long time on the side lines, it would not be resting him, it would be protecting him from injury if his is not picked.

Now, imagine the conversation "So Gaz, I don't want you to get huirt ahead of Wembley, are you ok to sit this one out?"

I would sincerely hope Ellis retort was short, to the point and ended with "and I will play"

For me Kelly to miss this game with Connor going back in the halves if Shaul is playing.
Ellis also plays for me as he only just come back from 3 months out, if possible maybe give Manu a breather with the Mini coming back.

He has left the club after a big fallout, because he was being bullied by Radford
