Team to play Catalans : Sun Sep 10, 2017 1:36 pm  

Although it would be nice to sail through unbeaten I hope Sheens names a changed team. I don't care if it is to the detriment to other teams outcome of the result, I just don't see the point of playing important players in what is a dead rubber, I would play:-

Cockayne (c)
Oakes
Salter
Abdull
Moss
Marsh
Ellis
Johnson
Dockar-Clay
Mulhern
Horne
Blair
Cator

Clark
Clavering
Owen Harrison
Jewitt

Would have been nice to throw the 5 dual-reg players we have out but I think York and Sheffield will need them for their respective campaigns.

Speaking to a rather popped up director later in the evening, he said that playing some youngsters (fringe players) with Ben as captain would be the most likely decision by Sheens.
I would certainly like to see how Oakes and Cator went against Catalans possibly, even young Harris although I don't think he is quite ready to be thrown in just yet.

I'd rest a few the likes of scruton shaw Lunt Ellis but I'd like to see a competitive side as Catalans are there for the taking and a full strength team against Warrington

Scruton has played his last match in 2017. Ops on shoulder and wrist.

Unless they are injured what is the point of resting players with only two matches to play? Why did you pick Blair to start and Jewitt on the bench from the regulars over the last few matches?

I agree unless there busted what's the point obviously love him or loathe him give cockayne a farewell game something that I felt Morgan should have done with Stanley Gene

The Wire game will be Smith's swan song after today's announcement.

Frankly I don't care if we play the bairns and get stuffed in both games, job done for us.

Re: Team to play Catalans : Sun Sep 10, 2017 5:55 pm  

Can imagine a few will like a run out to celebrate but anyone injured should be into pre-season recovery. I hope if a few young uns get a run out they also have an old head or 2 to help them out.

Charlie will definitely get his send off.
