York City Knights .... : Mon Mar 30, 2009 12:27 pm  

personally, would go for a full strength team as possible to avoid a weeks rest

York have a discipline problem (read last weeks RL Express : yellow cards, on report for fighting, etc) so expect some dirty play

I'd only rest a few - Morley, Andersons, maybe Briers if Monaghan is fit, Higham (assuming Clarke is fit).

A couple of players returning too http://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/wolves/4245391.Carvell_and_Westwood_set_for_a_return_against_York/

I'd play Briers, personally. I'd ask him what happened the last time he played against York in the cup and gently insinuate that he has improved since then.

Full strength the me the players need games to improve confidance

I'd say it's worth giving a couple of reserves players reward for their performances - so say Tyrone McCarthy plus one other. Then add Carvell to make his comeback plus Westwood. That would be 4 players - so then simply add the 13 fittest first teamers, i.e. rest anyone carrying an injury. You've got to respect the competition and the opposition or you could be set for a big fall, but I think we can afford to do what I suggest.

it wont be full team far from it

I say full team but i would give Kev Penny a run out because he must be so down on confidence after being dropped after the first game. Also he has been scoring tries for fun in the reserves.


Also is the east stand shut on suday.
