Because of the physicality of the World club challenge I would like to see some younger kids given a chance at Widnes next week and we need to rotate some of our senior players more often.

I would go with.............

Ben Jones Bishop
Ryan Hall
Kallum Watkins
Zak Hardaker
Jamal Chisholm
Stevie Ward
Danny McQuire
Darrel Griffin
Paul McShane
Richard Moore
Pitts
Hurahki
Clarkson

Singleton
Kirk
Daniel Smith
Liam Hood

Leave out and rest.
Smith
Webb
Burrow
Peacock
Leaulai
Bailey
Delaney
JJB
Sinfield
Amblet


Lets give some of our young stars a chance to shine.

The spelling police are going to have a field day.

And while I share your sentiments slightly I'd rather we limited the changes to 3 or 4. Why does smith need a rest ffs?!

Nantwich, is that you?

No way, not without Hardaker at stand off or Hall at centre!

No Jimmy Watson at FB .... still think it's me ?

...... Or Delaney at prop ..... Or Smith at hooker ......

You said it would be Tuesday before this happened!!!

Ah well, back to normal!

Could rest all the Leeds players and play the cheerleaders against Widnes next week instead.

Leeds would still win but only by about 10 points.

Such negativity. Typical Switchcorn. Only 10 points ???

IF we have a full squad to select from barring Jjb i'd go with..
Smith
Hall
Hardaker
Watkins
Bjb
Mcguire
Burrow(C)
Griffin
Mcshane
Leuleui
Ablett
Delaney
Clarkson

Hood
Moore
Hauraki
Singleton

I would give JP ,Sinfield and Webb the week off especially the former 2 plus given TMFMISL concussion it's not worth risking this week even if he passes the head test.
Singleton got a good report from the U20's as did Moore and imo Hood needs to be put in asap just see how he handles the 1st team enviroment and this week should be ideal.

I agree with all that except Sinfield. I'd play him I think

Delaney played prop for a few minutes on Friday

Given there will be celebrations this week no doubt, I think a few may get rested. A few should get rested anyway even if we hadn't played the WCC.

I'd put Smith in for Webb
Hood in for McGuire
Pitts in for JJB
Moore in for Bailey

and also rest one of Peacock & Sinfield (singleton, Hauraki)

I would go;

Webb
Jones-Bishop
Watkins
Hardaker
Smith
McGuire
Burrow
Griffin
McShane
Leuluai
Clarkson
Delaney
Ablett

Kirke
Moore
Hauraki
Hood

I think you will find Kirke in the 17 this week.
For me I would rest Webb or Burrow, Peacock and Kylie possibly Delaney.

How many fans do you think you will bring to widnes on sunday?

I doubt that Hood will get a look in. He's only just returned from an injury that they thought would be much longer, and only played the one reserve game.

The forwards should be where all the changing is required. All put in mammoth efforts on Friday and really are deserving of a week off, whether they like it or not. We almost have a reserve squad in forwards capable of replacing all anyway. But definates to rest for me are, Peacock, Bailey, JJB, Ablett.

I'd rest Leuluai instead of Ablett but agree with the rest. Maybe Sinfield too but I doubt that will happen. That may leave us a bit light in the forwards though. I'd go with:

Webb
BJB
Watkins
Hardaker
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Griffin
McShane
Moore
Ablett
Clarkson
Sinfield

Bench: Hauraki, Delaney, Kirke and Singleton.

We have to be careful not to rest too many and lose momentum. I would consider resting one of Delaney or JP or Ablett (listed in order of WCC work rate) perhaps one of Burrow or Sinfield. Some of these could have a half rest on the bench. Moore, Kirke and Hauraki should be given some extended game time.

Play the strongest side available for an away fixture. If it was at at HQ then maybe rest a couple, but even then there is the WCC hangover to consider, so strongest side would be my choice.

is it not this week

i hope so because i plan to be there

if keith is right could we pick 17 from the crowd to play?

I wonder if JP will be rested since he's off to London this week to see the Queen, Her Madge not the rock opera?
I'd like to see Moore, Kirke & Hauraki in the squad instead of JP, JJB & RB (Bailey not Burrow).
Re the rest not sure, Webb looked as if he was limping so bring in Smith for him either on the wing or at FB, otherwise don't tinker too much would be my thoughts since we can't afford to take Widnes lightly.
They will produce a performance sometime you'd imagine & what better time than against the SL champs & WCC holders?

Webb, Sinfield and Peacock could feasibly be rested, with JJB out and Bailey's concussion status unknown:

Webb/Smith

BJB
Watkins
Hardaker
Hall

McGuire
Burrow

Griffin
McShane
Leuluai
Delaney
Ablett
Sinfield/Clarkson

Hood
Peacock/Moore
Bailey/Kirke
Hauraki

Should still be plenty strong enough, with those coming in playing to impress.

Wow, we are only three games into the season and we are talking about 'resting' full-time professional players who are not injured!!! The only players that need resting for Widnes are the players that might have picked up a knock and would benefit from a week off to recover from the knock. Agreed, we probably can afford to lose a few and still put the cleaners through SL new whipping boys but the only players that should be missing are ones the medical staff tell Mac could use the week off... plain and simple!
