Hunslet (A) Cup Match : Mon Mar 12, 2018 10:25 am  

Same squad or rest a few?

Peltier got a dead leg apparently. Everyone else fit and healthy.

Next match thread already? Someone's keen

Davies/Kirk/Oakes are all knocking on the door. We might have Johnson back too.

Chisholm to start IMO I'd like to see Oakes get a chance too. Smith got better as the game went on, but i feel Oakes is much better at releasing Ryan. Rest those who have a few bumps and bruises (it's a long season) Don't think they will be a huge amount of changes. Hunslet are no mugs either, currently unbeaten and i think will be fired up regarding Flanagan.

Is it the 5th round where SL clubs come in?

Be worth getting through to at least that stage with the hope of a big money tie

Warrington, Catalans, Hull KR & Widnes come in the next round. The rest after that.

If we're after a big money tie then Wire or obviously HKR would be good.

I'd prefer a tough game versus a championship team to see where we are and to keep feet on the ground.

This is all assuming we beat Hunslet who aren't mugs and could spring a surprise.

If we can get past Hunslet, I wouldn't mind one of the 'lower' Championship clubs in the next round just to see where we're at. And I don't mean Leigh!

Leeds or Hull away is the ultimate goal. Get some £££.

Peltier would be a big miss as he's a handful at the moment but given the strength in depth we have, it would be silly to risk him if he's anything less than 100% fit. Kirk seemed to go well in the reserves and Davies had some strong showings in the friendlies so one of them for me.

Flanagan is a no-brainer as he'll be fired up just as much, if not more than he was vs Keighley.

I'd expect Oakes, Johnson and Vila to feature too.

Matt Rossleigh (of York away fame) appointed as referee.

Had a very good game when we played York. Thought the ref in the main did alright last week too. I've been much more impressed with the referees so far this year, than some of the shambles we had last year.
