Is there any point of risking anyone with the slightest niggle, senior players and star game changers over at Hull this week?

We're in the 4, blew our realistic chance of the hubcap.
It ain't going to easy at Hull and we could do us a lot of good bringing in fringe players and youngsters.

"We know where we are at", exact quote of Wane after the defeat at Wakey.
We treat this game with the same respect Waney did...yes respect being to the condition of his team for games when the win matters.

Go in there with the kids, give them great experience. We lose....if we actually lose naught, we win...we get the bonus of a better end of season stat, that is rewardless.

No. We need to keep winning for momentum and confidence.

anyone not 100% should be rested IMO

We are 4 points behind with 11 games left so not sure how we have blown our chance of the hubcap and anyway surely every point counts as we want to make sure we finish in top 2 to get a home game in the play-offs

Play the best 17 that are fully fit

Give Hill a rest though for God's sake.

Atkins & Sims will be missing anyway. Bring back Lineham & Jullien

Wouldn't mind Clark getting a game off as well. Anyone know if Morgan Smith's got an exam on Friday? There's a spot on my bench for him if not.

THIS. I get he may want to play every game, his mind may be willing but his body is not,he needs to have a week off for me.

Toby King in for Atkins, Hill for a week off for Julien.

Send the kids over we need to avoid the bottom 2

With Sims out, I can't see TS resting Hill.
He may use him sparingly though.
King, Bailey, Westwood, Cox as the forwards look a little light with only Bennie being effective for big minutes. I suppose Bailey could play big minute if pushed.

If fans are paying good money to watch the team then it can never be a dead rubber. £41 for coach & ticket of course we want to win.

No, we aren't playing well enough at the moment to rest players. Fine if they are not fit to play, but we are not gelling like we were at the beginning of the season. They need to get game time together to sort out the plays and build confidence.

I'd be nervous resting Hill at this point - if he is actually carrying an injury that could get worse, then fair enough. We play KR on Friday, Salford on the Thursday then a 10 day turnaround till we play Cas away on the Sunday. Could Hills rest wait till then? Or do we let him have Salford off while Sims comes back, giving him over two weeks off....?

When did we last beat Hull KR at their place?

I think we won twice at Craven Park in 2014. In the cup in April and again in SL in June.

I am curious about this mentality I see a lot of in the RL community.
There are 11 games to go, and 22 points to play for and we are only 4 points off the top, but people seem to believe that the chance of finishing top is not realistic?
Really???

Surely there is every chance to finish top in such a tight top 4.

Is it just that people don't expect Warrington to finish the season well or that Hull are so damn good that they will not drop more than 2 of their remaining 11 games?
In most other sporting leagues, to be 2 wins from the top of the table with 11 games to go, most fans would be believing that there is a chance to win the league.

Isn't this the split too where league points are carried forward to the top 8 ? The more points you have the bigger start you have in the next stage.

Yes.

We're so far in front of the chasing four, is it reasonable not to take risks and be selective of which games to attack full on to maintain the status quo, whilst having a beady eye on having our team tip top before we play the cc semi and final?

Whilst I understand our logic you'd also want to avoid an away game in an ideal world?

I would definitely rest hill and Clarke this week. Hill looks on his feet. And you are more likely to pick up an injury when your body is tired. But we have to be careful to avoid a possible away trip to Catalans in the last four

Would you not agree a fully fit side away from home, is a greater menace than having one shot at, for one single extra home tie?
And I'll add..
Would not consider a neutral venue and Wembley also as a fixture away from what slight advantage a home tie can award?...likewise the team with the greater menace would likely win.

Isn't the reward of one extra home tie, too little of a benifit to risk such a bigger bonanza?

"To lose one prop may be regarded as a misfortune, to lose both sounds like carelessness".

Oscar Pistorius

The disaster would be to finish top and then St Helens sneak into 4th...

Next worse would be Wigan away...

Then Catalans away....

I don't think it makes much difference to us playing Hull home or away....

Catalans at home would be my first choice....
