Apart from injuries to Austin and Charnley our strongest squad. If we go Ratchford, Lineham, Mamo with King and Goodwin at Centre what are people's thoughts in the half's, Smith/Patton or Smith/Livett, or AN Other combo?
Week before Wembley, if 100% fit, you play. Try and create some momentum. Think it will be Smith and Patton in the halves, as we dont really have another choice. Apart from that, Price should be going with near to what he is thinking his starting line up is for the final. Another advantage is that were in a competitive game, we need the points, so should make us battle hardened for the week after. Whereas Saints have a nothing game as the hubcap is wrapped up.
Austin wont miss Wembley.....
I am more happy with the fact that Roby, Warmsley and Coote may be missing again for Saints this week. Thats 3 weeks they havent played for, i dont care what anyone says, a break that long can (not saying will) have an opposite effect on player. How many times have we seen teams having a week off then come back under cooked. If theres a chance of that, il take it!!

I thibk we really need to win this one, especially now we have a really short turnaround to Salford. We need to win at least one of those games or we will be struggling to make top 5.
