I have a feeling that Leeds may do Wigan tonight leaving us in top spot with 1 to play until the split. For me, top isnt necessary at this stage, so would be looking to rest players for next week.

Shaul - bring Naughton in
Fonua - Move Michaels to Centre and Lancaster to the wing
Sneyd - Play Pryce and Abdull in the halves and say that they are fighting to partner Sneyd in the halves in the Semi Final.
Taylor - Bring Green Back
Watts - Taken a couple of knocks last 2 games, would bring Matongo into the side
Manu - Played better last night but i think could benefit from a week off - Bring Turgut into the side

Naughton
Talanoa
Yeaman
Michaels
Lancaster
Pryce
Abdull
Bowden
Houghton
Ellis
Mini
Turgut
Washbrook

Thompson
Matongo
Pritchard (if fit, needs some minutes)
Green

I'd rest both Mini and Ellis for Manu and Hadley.

It may all depend on the results this weekend, I think the reserves are playing this weekend, if I was Radford I'd offer 2 bench places for the best performing players.

Forgot about Hadley, so yes, could bring him back and move Thompson to Prop.

I just think we need to see the cup as a priority now, and not the Salford game. Plus, the Under 23's will have seen Abdull take his chance. It is up to Masi, Lancaster, Turgut etc to take it now too and would give them the chance next week

yea would look to play turgut, Hadley ,green if fit, naughton pryce and maybe Lancaster , rest some of the lads for semi,

If cas beat wire we can't go lower than 2nd before the split

2nd place fixtures look favour able atm so rest players for wigan

I presume you mean Salford?

I think he means rest players in preparation for Wigan

Houghton needs a rest more than anyone Wildie

Naughton
Lancaster
Michaels
Yeaman
Talanoa
Pryce
Abdull
Bowden
Washbrook
Ellis
Mini
Hadley
Pritchard

Thompson
Feka
Turgut
Green

So rest players for a semi final we could losewhere as we have a chance of lifting the league leaders shield,like it or hate it...it is still silverware on offer.....mind u,if we had been able to beat the bottom 2 clubs over the last 3 weeks,the LLS would be sewn up and we could afford to rest players

naughton
lancaster
michaels
fonua
talanoa
abdull
pryce
green
washy
bowden
manu
hadley
thompson

turgut
feka
matongo
pritchard

Id play a team something like this, think our key players all need a good rest and prevent them from and injurys or knocks. Nobody expected us to be in this position at the begining of the season and i think our main focus should be the cup. Id take finishing 2nd going into the super 8s for a place in the challenge cup final.

So you do know that you dont get the LLS now dont you?? it is in another 8 games time

I'd go along with that although is Feka still playing?

He was injured.

You are aware you don't get the LLS until the end of the Super 8s aren't you??

Bit late to rest players FOR (the) salford (game)

Yeah I think I have read that wrong, must be all the excitement.

Nothing exciting about beating rovers any more, it's becoming the norm

As a Doncaster fan hoping Feka can play for us on the 24th July, making him eligible for us in the playoffs . That's how I understand the situation anyway.
Good luck hope you get some silverware .

Cheers. Wonder whether Radford will have the team down to the Keepmoat for an evening practice session before the SF, would make sense if it were possible.

Would be good for both teams , think we (Doncaster) train on a Tuesday & Thursday.

Im scared players are gonna suffer season burnout so id rest a few if possible - league leaders shield means nothing and tbh im not bothered about the CC - i want this team to win the GF and dont give a about anything else

What's happened to Chris Green? Thought he'd been playing well.

... he was injured for the Leeds game ("slight knock"icon_wink.gif.

green hurt his back in training before the leeds game

Well we're still top after Leeds beat Wigan, and rovers look to be slipping towards bottom place.
