Myler Laithwaite Wood Asotasi (straight toss-up between him & RIley, take your pick)
We need to make sure Laithwaite, Myler & Wood get as much game time as possible ahead of the semi, hence the bench. Same three should all start at Catalan, which is a game I'd expect to be as important for fitness reasons as competition points.
For me, we must now play our strongest team every week until the end of the season. No one rested unless we get to the last game or so of the season & can't improve our league position.
I would not field a full strength team at catalan with the cup match week later.

For away matches there is no tougher place to go to than Perpignan, Leeds on the other hand have a nice gentle stroll on Friday night against already relegated Bradford. Mcdermott can rest as many as he likes and still get the 2 points.

And that's my point why leave our game behind,we need people to be fresh for the cup not burned out by the heat out there.
