I think there are quite a few players who have picked up a couple of bumps over the past couple of weeks, who could probably do with the week off, though I dont think they should field too much of a weakened line up.

I would rest a couple of the backs, and forwards and one of the half backs.

At the end of the day we have 31 in the squad, and CC did say he was going to have a look at everyone over the next couple of weeks.

I would probably leave out Jowitt and Johnstone, dont want the risk of these two picking up an injury now, especially as we have some big league games coming up. (Both Owen and Tansey are back from their loan spell. We also have Morris out on loan, not sure when he is due back. Do we know the latest on Bill Tupou.

Both Miller and Finn pciked up knocks, and think one of these are due a rest.

With regards to the forwards, I would definately give England the week off, and one of Scruton or Simon. We have Walker, Yates and Arona. Do we know the latest with Anderson.

For the back row, I would give Krimo also, the week off.

If our U19 sigining Batchelor is match ready, would it be worth giving him a chance.

Nice easy job for Chester - just turn up, log in here, make a few notes and bingo, he can do his internet shopping for the rest of the day. Piece o' !

Given the way we are playing at the moment, you could play the U16s and get a result!

Interesting to see that nobody as yet given a thought to giving Chris Annakin a run out, bearing in mind we've just had four tough games in 2 week where apart from the odd exception all the perceived best forwards haven't as yet had a rest. Surely if fit he could play Anderson, Yates, and Walker who have done a decent job when asked leaving others to get refreshed for an important and winnable game against FC.

Looks like Scruton will be suspended anyway, opens up a spot if so.

I put him on bench for me! Apart from that I agree.

That is the big question.
Do you make a number of changes and rotate the squad for what should be a comfortable win or, do you tweak the squad and keep the momentum with the main group of players that have been used.

I think we should keep our hb pair together as much as possible

With regards to the forwards I'm sure CC will be on top of it and will know who needs resting, I don't normally get involved in team selection but looking from the outside right now would be an ideal time to rest some of the forwards who might be feeling it a bit more than others.
It's unrealistic to think they can go the whole season without a rest so for me give some of those who because of the form of those playing atm and can't get a game a chance to impress and to keep em interested, and at the same time give the coach an idea of his options given that sooner or later we will have injuries.

Don't like the idea of changing the current team too much. There's a chance that the rhythm that they have built up over the last four games could be broken. The only changes I would make are anyone that may be carrying an injury; otherwise leave the team as is.

If all are fit

Can I just point out that 11 of that team were missing on Sunday against Wigan and Craig Hall cut his fingernails too short and we all know how painful that is.

Is Anderson fit to play yet?

That's a risk if you ask me. A hell of a lot of changes and people who have hardly played or not at all. I know Sheffield haven't been doing that well this season but they beat us fairly easily at their place last season

Perfect chance to rest some of the guys that are carrying knocks and have had a tough schedule in the last month. We have a squad for a reason and players like Hall, Walker, Annakin, Gibson, Yates etc can come in and not let us down. It gives them a chance to shine and push for a first 17 place and Sheffield are pretty scratchy this year so its the ideal time.

I think our squad is well balanced in that we do not have any superstars , we can have 6 or 7 changes and not weaken the team. I would like to see Tansey, Hall, Gibson, Owen, Yates, Walker, Anakin all get a game.
It looks like Scruton may get a ban, Moore was limping, Finn took a knock and could do with a rest, Girmond and England need a rest. Jowitt took a knock.
Not sure about the excellent Howarth, the reports of his broken elbow would suggest that it may be an idea to give him more time off even though he says he wants to play. The beauty of the squad is that we can afford to give players the proper amount of time to recover from knocks.

I'm presuming so as we tried to register him with Oxford so he could get some game time last week but unfortunately just missed the cut off.

Quick question do season ticket holders get in free?

That looks like too much of a change and although Sheffield are not breaking any pots in the Championship, we could be all over the place with so many changes.
I'm certainly in favour of resting a few but we could slip on the proverbial banana skin, if we make wholesale changes to a winning team, just ask Wigan

No for this one but, adult tickets are only £15

Do you think that team would be strong favourites to beat Sheffield

They should be able to beat them but, changing 1,6,7 & 9 would make for a very interesting evening and we should be making absolutely certain that we make it into the next round.
Personally, I'm all for fielding our strongest team, allowing for some tinkering if anyone is carrying a knock plus, maybe giving the two youngsters a breather (even though they will, no doubt, be desperate to play).

Play anyone, Thaler is the referee

In all seriousness I'd rest players who have taken a high work load over easter to freshen them up for a massive game against Hull FC.

Lets just say that if we had to play that team on Friday because of injuries, it would not be too unrealistic to expect us to win comfortably.

Normally a fan of sticking with a winning team but after a hectic easter some serious rotation is probably in order.

I'd rest Jowitt, Johnstone, Moore, Scruton, England, Kirmond, Miller to name but a few. These players for me are our main strike players and after four games in three weeks need to freshen up.

I'd play the following (keeping Finn on for no longer than required).

Tansey
BJB
Gibson
Tupou
Owen

Finn
Hall

Tuopu
Annakin
Molloy
Arona
Howarth
Simon

Yates
Walker
Anderson
Sio

Move Howarth up to H/B when Finn is done.

Not disrespecting Sheffield here as I'm sure they are capable of kicking our butts if we don't take them seriously.
