Asiata will be a miss but I don't he played against them away and they almost resulted in a win, then again that was a week after they'd taken apart Saints in the Cup.

This is the fixture, a win gives us a bit of breathing room, we are in a better place now than we were when we first played them but then again so are they, should hopefully be quite the spectacle, in a good way.

We should have beaten them actually. There was a knock on by ashton resulting in the final try.

I'd imagine Mulhern and Moylan in for Asiata and Hardaker in the only changes to the 17 from the London game, if they are fit.

Much bigger test than any other game in this run of good form. But if we can't beat the top 3 sides, then there's little point in being in the play offs in the first place.

Would you keep Hardaker at full back ahead of Moylan?

Can see it would be a more "solid" selection, with hardaker being a bit better under a high ball and much better defending breaks. But Moylan would offer much more attacking threat, which might be needed with Asiata missing.

So we approach squeaky bum time. One point off the play-offs with four to play (three on home soil - eyebrow raisers all three - the third only as people at the top seem to sympathise with Big Mary Ellen Wellens from Helens!).

Here we go - it’s effectively five into three:

SALFORD

Aug 30 - Hull KR (Away)
Sep 7 - Catalans (Home)
Sep 14 - Hull FC (Away)
Sep 20 - Wigan (Away)


STAINS

Sep 1 - Huddsfld (Away)
Sep 6 - Wolves (Away)
Sep 13 - Castlfrd (Home)
Sep 20 - LEIGH (AWAY)


CATALANS

Aug 31 - Wigan (Home)
Sep 7 - Salford (Away)
Sep 14 - London (Home)
Sep 20 - Hull FC (Away)


THE MIGHTY LEYTH

Aug 30 - Wolves (Home)
Sep 6 - Castlfrd (Away)
Sep 13 - Hull KR (Home)
Sep 20 - Stains (Home)


LEEDS


Sep 1 - London (Away)
Sep 6 - Hull FC (Home)
Sep 13 - Wigan (Away)
Sep 20 - Hull KR (Away)


First up - Leigh NEED to at least reverse the scoreline from April. COYL!

That would be my least favourite option to be honest. Hardaker's form has been much better when not playing centre, as have our results.

Hardaker fullback, O’Brien stand off, Moylan watching in the stand.
