I’d rotate Mago with Ellis. Looked a bit flat last week, possibly still recovering from the injury?

Ellis is a good ball carrier but his lateral movement in defence is dreadful. Gets stepped so easily.

Matty Peet “We will freshen things up a little bit and look to give some players an opportunity, so without going into too much detail, we will be giving people a chance who have been working hard in the background.”

The only players in the squad who haven’t been playing for a while are Miski and Halsall, so I’m guessing they’ll play.

Cust is bang out of form/not over his injury so should be dropped to the bench minimum.

Also we need Bevan around the ball more, great on the wing but we need him and field as involved as possible.

Also think we should pair KPP and Halsall in the centres as I hope these would be our playoff centres (assuming Halsall can kick on given a run of games).

I’d go

French
Miski
KPP
Halsall
Marshall
Field
Smith
Byrne
Powell
Havard
Isa
Farrell
Smithies

Mago
Ellis
Cooper
Cust/O’Neill

HKR look to have decided not to risk anybody with minor issues and are shy of 14 players. It makes giving chances out that bit easier.

I’d go-

French
Miski Halsall Pearce-Paul Marshall
Field Cust
Cooper O’Neill Ellis
Isa Farrell Smithies

Subs
Havard Mago
Shorrocks Powell

Simply a rest for Smith for me. Cust has been awful since he came back but he looks like he needs minutes in his legs to me. We need to look at what we can do in the centre position and this is a great chance to do that. Brad O’Neill deserves a start and some big minutes. The kid helped us win a trophy and I certainly can’t say with any great confidence that we’ve been better in that position since the cup final. Powell is better in some areas but not all. I’d give Byrne the week off as well.

Cust looks busted to me, the club need to sort his elbow problem out. Looking at HKRs squad, I think we could have given one or two more fringe players a gig.

Potentially I agree but they seemed to suggest him holding his arm was a mental thing as much as anything but it didn’t look great. His match fitness looks off to me and that’s why I’d play him. That chase back in the couple of minutes at Magic was worrying. His defence hasn’t been crash hot all season and an arm injury certainly won’t help.

Re: HKR (h) : Tue Jul 26, 2022 2:05 pm  

Looking at HKR squad I wouldn’t be surprised to see Field and/or French rested.
