Huge game in terms of play off credentials and gaining that sixth spot. The win today v Catalan will only gee the lads on more. Definitely losing Prior to at least 4 games I reckon in probably his worst disciplinary performance. Good news is that Tetevano, Austin and Fusitua will return, but the question is on current form do we move Myler from halfback again for Austin or is it an Austin/Sezer battle? I think the second personally.

Hardaker
Fusitua Sutcliffe Newman Handley
Myler Austin/Sezer
Oledzki O’Connor Tetevano
Bentley Martin
Donaldson

Dwyer Gannon Thompson Smith

Austin/Sezer, Tindall, Johnson, Mustapha.

Are Bentley and/or Myler at the mercy of the MRP over late hits last night?

If Austin is Fit to return could maybe see Rohan trying to get all our pivotal players in starting 13 without too much disruption too our spine, with Leeming out pretty much til end of season could maybe see Austin, Sezer or Myler moving into hooker so that all our pivots are on the field at same time. If only Prior is missing from team that played Catalans could possibly go with.

1. Hardaker
2. Fusitu'a
3. Newman
4. Sutcliffe
5. Handley
6. Myler
7. Sezer
8. Oledzki
9. Austin
10. Thompson
11. Bentley
12. Martin
13. Smith

14. Dwyer
15. Tetevano
16. Donaldson
17. O'Connor/ Gannon

Austin would probably be best at 9 for defensive reasons he's a bigger body than Sezer or Myler could probably D up ok in middle.

Austin is never going to be playing at 9.

Stranger things have happened though…..I recall a certain vastly experienced coach picking him on the wing

Only change I'd make in the backs is Fusitua for Tindall.
Austin doesn't get back in for me.

Tetevano to take Prior's place in getting another ban.

I wouldn’t pick Tetavano at all, but Priors impending ban, probably means he plays.
Austin on Bench on current form. OConnor Dwyer stay as hookers.

That went well...

Salford giving Saints a right hiding today, next week could be epic, when Salford are hot they are Red devil hot.

Cracking side. Great test for us next week.

It is. Two teams coming off the back of two very big performances. Anyone's game but a real statement of intent by whoever wins it.

If we play like last game and Tet actually has a good (and legal) impact I think we should do it.

I'd not put Austin back in,Myler and Sezar should keep their place

Lets hope we get a crowd the match deserves, should be 15K +, both sides playing good flowing rugby.

This is a proper 4 pointer now and i would go as far to say that the winner of this will probably make the top 6. with the remaining fixtures left for both if we are to make the top 6 this is a must win, lose and we can probably kiss play offs goodbye

Our next 3 are winnable, and then we would have great momentum going into the last 3. Who knows what might happen...

Looking forward to this one, particularly to see Newman/Fusitua versus Lafai and Burgess. Big test for Our 3/4’s in defence.
And hopefully their’s as well

While Ash watched him

I wonder if they ever talk about it in the sheds now

Liked many others I'll be on holiday for this game so won't make it. If like to see how average attendances hear up in August generally

I think it will take a sustained period of good results before attendances pick up rather than winning one or two and then losing one.

Just Prior with a two match ban.

Lucky that, 4th ban this season could gave been 4-5 games

Think sending off enough personally.

Based on what?

What did the disciplinary base Prior's two match ban on as the video footage of the incident is far from conclusive. Will there be other video angles or will it simply be based on a report from Kendall?

Based on crystal balls, with a sprinkling of fairy dust……
