This is a once in a blue moon occasion where the Saints game is an irrelevance, if Lam wants them in the team to play Leeds then they don't play against Saints.
Play Hanley, Halsall, Hankinson, Bibby Jake Shorrocks, Mitch Clarke, Singleton, Borough, Pearce Paul, Wells, Joe Shorrocks as a minimum and go full out for Leeds in the semi.
I think a good few of the backs could do the Saints game and the semi but they can’t let the forwards do that. The likes of Greenwood and Shorrocks could back up as they’re unlikely to get huge minutes against Leeds but the props along with Powell and O’Loughlin will surely sit out that Saints game.
My worry would be the young lads trying to prove a point against Saints and maybe going over the top a bit and the RFL not giving them the chance to play against Leeds.

The disciplinary won't sit until the following Monday. However I'd rest as many as possible, I think Tricky has got it right (for once)
