Quite simply Farrell in for Walters.

Let’s get it won lads!

No Gildart for KR, means Broadbent will be targeted all night long.

Interesting to see who misses out if Faz is fit.

Probably a choice between Walters and Forber, either way it’s a pretty big risk if we run with only 1 hooker or no cover for Faz if he’s struggling.

If they are absolutely certain Farrell is 100% fit, then I'd just make the direct change for Walters. I've always wanted Walters on the bench but they've been working with this rotation of 3 props and Forber for weeks now and I wouldn't change it now.

Yep, agree completely but would also add Miski into the 100% fit bracket too. When he intercepted last week he wasnt running freely (i know he's not the fastest anyway)

we need our team to be as 100% fit as possible, so need Faz and Miski fully firing or replace them with Walters and Eckersley

The bench rotation wont change as its working for us at the minute and seems to be MP preferred option

I wonder if the reduced minute for Thompson over the last few weeks have been building to save him for the GF where he could do the full 80 and maybe have Walters as cover instead
