Quote ="jools"A very important game for our top 4 bid, the top 4 play each other over the next few weeks so to stay in contention we need to win the game against KR currently in 9th (who potentially could be in 8th if they beat Salford on Tues and FC somehow lose to wakey)
KR have been in a tough knock out game, follow that by a game against a team who could be rivalling them for 8th 5 days later, then have to play us within another 5 days and Potentially they will have an eye on the Derby game 5 days after they play us. Their tough schedule could work in our favour- but I hope we won't be complacent!
We have a mixed record against this side.
Brett will have to sit out this game. Hopefully all should be back fit except Bailey.
So who plays?
Stick with the team who won at Widnes?
How do we account for ferred missing?
I'd say Murphy (if ready) or Connor back into centre with wardle at second row and ta'ai/Lawrence at LF.'"
We have Salford away 7 days after we play you. Then we have FC at home 5 days after that game. Wont be a consideration.
However we have rested a few for Salford on Tuesday and will rotate against you also. If we turn Salford over, then i fully expect key players to miss your game, play against Salford the week after (that is more winable to be fair). Think we need to win a minimum of 3 from 5 to have a chance of sneaking in (1 has to be beating FC and Salford at least once). Anything from Hudds and Saints is a bonus.
We have though already said the cup is priority so we'll gear towards it and if it means bottom 4 it means bottom 4.
