Gannon
Martin
Smith

O’Connor
Thompson
Donaldson
Mustapha

Swap broadbent and Sutcliffe and I think that’s what we’ll see

Oh and Briscoe for Mellor

I’d guess both Briscoe and Mellor will be in somewhere going on past selections and both experienced players.

Keep the effort up tonight, cut the silly penalties and we should win tonight. Its a must win but not the end of the world if we don’t but it makes the climb out of the hole lot harder.

How’s it a must win them?

Its not a must win, there's plenty of games to get away from the bottom of the table.

However I hope the players think its a must win and come away with the 2 points, its highly needed

Jesus wept. It will be one of best wins in recent history with that team out….

I can easily see Toulouse winning this. They have struggled away from home but they've given some good teeams a run for their money, not to mention beating Sts. Sts may have been taking the mick a bit but I don't think we could beat them if they did that against us. Certainly not with the available squad.

I'd go Mellor centre and Briscoe on the wing. But that pack is depleted so Mellor might be needed there..

The situation we find ourselves in at the moment means it’s not ideal to play too many kids all at once. I like Tindall, think he will be a good winger in a couple of years, and he needs to play regularly to improve, but could we afford him wandering in off the wing tonight?

Who’d be a coach…

Isn't Tindell injured ?.

Agree,though.

Over the years we seem to have loaned a lot of players out .
Would be nice if that coukd be reciprocated.

I’l rephrase its an important win. We lose and its just a right dog fight to avoid relegation. Win and pressure off a bit and we can look at moving up the table for next 2/3rds season.

No bollox its a must win.

Agreed

I get your point, and I share your desperation but, there are 18 games left in the season.

Lose this doesn't mean are relegated and to flip it around, Winning it doesn't mean we aren't.

Yup

Jut seen the team sheet. We look so light. Can't be helped at this point tho

Saints rested the whole team vs Cas tonight not sure what that says about the integrity of the competition. I suppise bring top of the league gives them the option. If they had informed Sky the cameras could have been at Headingley for the battle of the basement!

Sorry Chris, but I (like 90% of the rest on this forum) disagree.

This is the most "must win" game I have known for years.
Win - and we create a gap and something to build on.
Lose - and we are rock bottom, confidence shot and staring into pandora's box desperately hoping there is a team out there that we can beat....

Despite your eternal optimism, this is a 100% must win game.

Optimism? I think we’ll lose.

But if we do we aren’t relegated with 18 matches left to play.

If we were full strength id label it more pf s must win as tgat means this is the best it would get.

It’s nowhere near as must win as the game against Widnes away a few years ago

It’s not a must win because we have most of our best players out. We can afford to loose tonight and still stay up coz we’ll have Zak in soon and Myler might be Back next week. It all depends on expectations. If playoffs then yes must win. If to avoid relegation I think wet can loose tonight and still stay up …
So Chris is correct…..

I suppose it just depends on your definition of must win.

Must win to me is if you loose your down, or knock out game…..!

Guess what. A clever kick on last play can lead to points! Revolutionary…
