Am I missing something here? Surely R1 we play strongest team possible from players who are 100% fit...there’s more than a few who love a good moan on here when we don’t turn up against the lesser teams when we’ve rested a few (particularly under Wane). Potential banana skin if we don’t go full strength here.
Another thing with naming a weaker squad for me is that it only ever gives bigger motivation to the oppo & belief that they can come away with a result. I’d rather Leigh be looking at this one daunted at the prospect of getting a proper belting.
I agree it's a risk and probably won't happen. I'm just thinking of the bigger picture in terms of having players ready when called upon, particularly with the likelihood of players being missing through track and trace, and having extra midweek fixtures. Playing our strongest side every week is what led to Jack Murphy getting his second ever game at short notice in a play off against Leeds, which played a big part in us losing that day.
