This would be my choice, hope Royce drops the back replacement idea for this week, we are not short in the backs, in fact as far as our back line goes, that's pretty much a first choice back line. Ok some wil argue eastmond, but I think come playoffs and GF, eastmond would still only make bench.
Also our pack bar props are also first choice. Realistically we are 3 players off a first choice team,, so we should have enough to manage. dixon and Ashurst had decent games last week. I'd expect an intense 1st 30 from our pack to try and really take the energy out of the KR players. Then some rotation of LMS and Clough with Soliola stepping up to prop maybe. The rest filling the spots behind.
It's a goodd team and only Perry, TP and Graham would walk into this team, the rest are there on merit.
