Not saying that you're wrong, but I'm curious about why you're not including Wire? I know they didn't show up at Wembley but I wouldn't say that they're any less capable than Hull KR and arguably Saints - depending on which version of them you get.

It's possible but they're too reliant on Williams for me and I'm not convinced they have the mental toughness to perform when it counts.

Fair. You could be right, but the way things are going they have a great chance of a home semi and in those circumstances I think KR's big game record away isn't great. Saints are the team that I think are most able to find the level to beat us in a Grand Final, but I'd probably have Wire at least as likely to get there, if not more so.

Keighran one match ban, looking like Farrell in the centre next week unless there's someone ready to step up, doesn't look like it going off the reserves result last week

Just waiting for the MRP to ruin what was a cracking game by getting the ban hammer out

Iust Keighran by the looks of things. Dangerous contact.

What now? Farrell at centre?

I think it will be Eckersley at centre and Hampshire at fullback.

Needs have a word with himself Keighran with these lift tackles. Learn your lesson ffs.

On a separate note, it’s absolutely amazing that Savelio only gets 2 games for that on Saturday when you compare it to Keighran at Wire and Byrne at Saints. It was worse than both imo but good for him.

Farrell centre for me. Walters start back row.

Would be a strange move to switch Zach after last week. Hopefully we have enough to get by Hull and maybe Jai Field will be fit for Warrington.

Just heard that Jai said he's three weeks away in the Saints hospitality lounge.

I'd keep Eckersley at fullback after that performance on Friday for sure. To manage that it will mean somebody playing out of position at centre though and my choice would probably be Miski, with Douglas coming on to the wing. I think Miski could handle playing centre for a game pretty comfortably. Failing that you're probably putting one of the second rowers in there and with it being the right hand side, that would probably be Nsemba or Walters.
