Just wondering what sort of side people would put out against salford. With us being at home i feel we can rest a few men and still come away with a win. My team would be something like:

Eden
George
Wardle
Leroy
Jerry
Grix
Brough
Crabtree
Robinson
Gilmour
Chan
Bruno
Lee

Lunt
Mason
Molloy
Walker (if fit) if not Faimu

Id rest the likes of o'donnell fa'alogo patrick as big men do need the rest.

If brown and murphy had of been fit then maybe of rested grix and Jerry or something like that but I would go with something like that

Is Fairbanks fit?
Would play him against Salford - plenty of a tackling will be required

I remember last time we 'rested' players cos we 'should' beat Salford .........we need to keep our momentum going and the best way to do that is with little or no disruption to a side thats just won !!

what is it on here with this sudden trend of wanting to 'rest' players ?
FFS we should play our best available team at all times in my opinion, players should be left out due to injury, illness or a dramatic loss of form over a period of games.

What kind of message will it send out to the players if this happens? it doesn't matter how well you played last time its your turn for a rest !!!

its 3 games in 8 days daz and its really hard as a battling prop. thats all im thinking. Dont want us buring out when it comes to playoffs

i know where your coming from but the rested players may not see it like that, it may affect confidence by getting dropped after playing well.

And we should NEVER underestimate any opposition and presume we will have enough to beat them with rested players !

O'Donnell and Faalogo should play. They have had enough rest this season with injuries. They need matches to get them fit and sharp.

well i expect some forwards will need a rest in one of them games and hull home and away i think some rotating forwards do need to be done in the salford game.

keep the backs and play makers as they are we know nearly all our forwards can do a job against anyone so some changes in there i dont feel will disrupt us to much aslong as its 1 or 2 changes

LOD and DFa should play as should Keith Mason my 17 would be

Eden, Gerry, Leroy, Wardle, George, Grix, Brough, Mason, Robbo, DFa, Gilly, Fairbank, LOD bench; Patrick, Lunt, Faiumu, Lawrence

Rest; Eorl, Chan, Lee,

Reasoning; Eorl and Chan deserve a rest, Lunt deserves and needs a game DFa and LOD need games Mase needs a game and bench players have only been playing a half game and the backs don't need a rest for me. Grix and the ball players need to play and cut out the mistakes made at Leeds. That side should beat Salford and in theory Hull should have a far more harder and draining game

I think there will be some rotation in the team this week but i think it will be minimum.

i totally agree with this

Thought Bobby F was still recovering from his wrist problem and Mace may face disciplinary charges. Lunt looked off the pace in the 20s.

Heard today that Murph Fergy Walker Tonks and Brown (!) may all be able to feature over Easter.



If players like Murph, Fergy and walker are used we are replacing quality with quality

Would be good to get them back. - especially obvious el capitan. I don't think he'll be back so soon with that injury - it really needs rest and more rest.
Great to see fergie back if he has recovered.

Brown back Monday at the latest Tonks suspected broken arm Murphy another few weeks dont know about Ferguson

I seriously doubt Tonks will feature.

What, with a broken arm and all!

dont rest faalogo, the more games he gets the better and same goes for odonnell

bound to be some kind of rotation with the 2 games in 4 days though...which is the benefit of having a large squad

brown to come back?!

worth the risk?

tonks broken arm?

mason should come in for one game over easter if he doesnt get a ban

if any do get a rest it could be crabtree and chan as they have played big minutes in every game

dont know if fairbanks wrist is better yet, he will see game time if it is

walker too...

murphy still abit off with his knee and ferguson you would have to think wont be far away now

kevin brown is back!!!



also a return for ferguson ...nathan brown really rates him....soon as hes fit hes straight back in

no place for lunt and molloy drops out from last week

looking strong on the playing front

On the Giants website Baloo says only Bobby, Tonks and dawson unfit. So we also have Murph on standby.

Easter and the C Cup coming over 9 days and our avaialble players are the best we have had all season!!!

and mason ?

Have to say that Nathan and Baloo really need to think long and hard about team selections and not to `rest` any of our lynch pins like last season ( and hkr the other week). 4 points over easter will do very nicely for me.

If he got off his disciplinary he will be available for Hull

Salford have played fairly well on the road this season. However im not going to pretend its not going to be hard because it is, even if you lot rest a few players. Dont underestimate anyone in the league.

I.e Widnes 37 Wigan 36.....

I presume you have not seen our 19.

The players likely to be 'resting' on Friday are Mason Lunt Walker Murphy Ferguson (?) + one from Fa'alogo. Faiumu(?) ; Lawrence. Our 17 will be at least as good as the team that won at Headingley.

We know it is dumb to underestimate the Reds.

Incredibly strong 19 and doesn't include Mason, Lunt or Fairbank.

This is not going to be a good day for Salford !

tbf i think people are going ott bwt not resting any players 3 games in 8 days is a lot theres no way our team can play at a good level through all 3 games with out changes and its not like if we rest some forwards we are bringing rubbish in, we have nearly all our squad to chose from and any can come in and do just as good job. no point having a big talented squad if your not gonna use it
