I'm not sure we need to be as aggressive as them, we rely a bit more on agility and footwork at the line in attack, and good early set line speed.

The most important aspect for us is finishing on a kick, strong chase and reducing meters on the first 3 tackles.

This is what got away from us against Wigan recently, the Charnley try to make it 28-18 of a Sarginson 1st tackle bust and offload to FPN, and the Tierney try to make it 28 all off a break on kick return by Charnley if I remember correctly.

Lock them up down the top end of the field and make them use a clearance kick and we have a decent chance

Sandow should be no where near the team on Saturday. After 6 weeks he'll be rusty and not match fit and if we're honest he's last good game was Wigan. And even then he only lasted 25 mins. I'd stick with the team that saints and I believe that's the team which end the song "it's always our year"

Personally I wouldn't risk Sandow even on the bench. He won't be match fit, he isn't great defensively at the best of times, but what do I know...I didn't think we would beat Hull!

Can anyone confirm what grade Sandow MCL strain is?
Grade 1 recovery is 6 weeks
Grades 2 & 3 are 8--12 weeks so looking at this even if his injury is a mild one he possibly can't be fit for such a huge occasion
Best case scenario put him on the bench as a partially fit Sandow can still do damage especially later in the game when big forwards are tired
So I'm going with
Ratchford
Lineham
Evans Atkins
Russell
Gidley Patton
Hill Clarke Simms
Hughes Wilde
Westerman
King
King
Bailey
Sandow
