Looking ahead to the Dewsbury game on Sunday, how do we think we are going to approach it? Nobby said in his post-match interview that he will be sending a "strong team" to Dewsbury. Do we go full strength and build momentum or rotate and rest some players in preparation for the Castleford game and the start of the season.
I'd like us to play with Meadows and Keyes in the halves to continue their development and perhaps give players like Donaldson, Lawrence, Scurr, Souter, Pele, Holmes and Gee (hobbled off during the Doncaster game) the weekend off to keep them fresh for the Castleford cup game.
Something like:
Raynor
Ok
Blake
Gill
Taufua
Meadows
Keyes
Mason
Ott
Bayliss-Brow
Waine
Hallas
Michael
---
Peposhi
Liu
Lilley

I think a bit of rotation is in order, the Doncaster game was heavy going (particularly in the forwards). I agree with developing the half back partnership, but maybe a full match isn't necessary. it's a difficult call, you want to keeping momentum and for the team to gel, but it's a long old season..... glad it's someones elses decision.
I wouldn't be risking too many against Dewsbury now we have the Cas game which is effectively another warm up game to the league season.
These early games on heavy pitches are all about the pack and kicking game - plenty of time for combinations to develop as the season progresses.
