I hope Thomas plays and gets a few hefty hits on him.

Would like to see a few changes for this one.

No disrespect to anyone, every player has showed the desire and commitment we all ask for, but it's a long season and we need to share the bumps and bruises out.

I would play Isa from the start. Put Ferres in the pack. Rest Jake Emmit (who has been fantastic)
Start with Foz and Huby as props, rest Jackson (had plenty of knocks already -also played very well and energetic). Snitch on the bench.
Hudson to start. Clarke on the bench, rest Milner.

1 Mathers
2 Dixon
3 Arundel
4 Isa
5 Youngquest
6 Chase
7 Orr
8 Fozzard
9 Hudson
10 Huby
11 Ferres
12 Holmes
13 Jones

14 Widders
15 Clarke
16 Snitch
17 Aspinwall

We wouldn't "rest" rangi chase so I wouldn't wanna see us rest Jake Emmit. He's been class so far. don't fix what aint broken.

I agree with Poker Face. Whilst we've been playing well I feel inexperience and lack of knowledge amongst our youngsters on how to snatch a game or close a game out cost us v Bradford.

My team would be:

Mathers
Dixon
Arundel
Isa
Youngquest
Chase
Orr
Huby
Hudson
Jackson
Ferres
Snitch
Jones

Bench: Fozzard, Emmitt, Widders, Clark.

To lightweight that bench poker, 2 props req'd imo.

Also Hudson, isn't he still injured?

Crusaders have just signed Andy Bracek from Barrow so he may join Jordan Tansey in debuting at the weekend.

Doubt it Stu, think he injured for a few weeks, Tansey will play though
