| Think a few lads will need a rest against Saints. Taylor certainly done a lot of hard minutes and it showed today when he missed a few tackles.

| Having his hand forced definitely helped in a way today but it was a very good team selection by Radford nonetheless.
Fresh legs would seem the way to go off a heavy Easter but is made difficult when players want to be playing. Even though they think they are okay, that last 20 mins at Saints could be their undoing if the tank is empty.
Tough choice, trust to a coiple of the fresh junior first team forwards or risk those that have a lot of minutes in their legs.
Can see Hadley coming in

No problem - obviously you and Radders think the same way hence his inclusion today.

I would certainly bring players back, the question is who drops out. There are a few guys who would benefit from a rest, but it's a brave call to leave key players out for such an important game.
How about:
Shaul
Talanoa, Yeaman, Fonua, Naughton
Carlos, Sneyd
Green, Houghton, Bowden
Pritchard, Minichiello
Manu
Watts
Thompson
Ellis
Thompson

| Naughton has to keep his place, but there again Michaels has got better defensively but reckon he'll go to wing with Fonua back at right centre.
Lancaster showed today he still isn't ready/confident enough for me.
6 is a tough one but Carlos back in if fit.
Thompson has virus so may not be ready esp to tele two bench spots as above but I'm sure Mini, Manu and Tank will back in the mix.

I know he never played over Easter but expecting Jordan Thompson to take up 2 bench spots is a bit much.

So why comment when you don't have a clue? Just made yourself look daft.

Thought Lancaster did well after his early mistake, really unlucky with his try that was disallowed late on.
Really tough to pick a side for Friday.

Totally agree that drop early on could have affected him but totally the opposite. Thought he looked pretty strong and stayed in field a number of times when they tried to knock him over the side. Encouraging without ever having a real clear opportunity to show his pace. But Michaels/Fonua should rightly be reunited on the right on Friday if fit.

Same for me nearly. I'd possibly keep hadley in and let ellis sit it out. Been unreal over easter. 1 of your Thompson would be pritchard n Washy starting at 13. Manu 2nd row

Agree about lancaster.
Never much looked comfortable under the high ball. Got bent a couple of times. Seemed to be just hanging in there at times. But overall did fairly well. Defo not a week in week out player yet. In and out were he's needed/we can will be great for him though

This is why dean & HTW are not ready, especially as they're in a pivotal position, they will get game time when needed, massive step up for them.

One of the Thompsons was meant to be Feka. Give Taylor a rest.

| Callum needs 6-10 games to really get going, nerves were a problem early on I reckon. I'd still take his pace over what our other wingers offer (except Fonua).
Think Washbrook deserves a rest, looked dead on his feet towards the end.
Think we'll go -
Shaul
Micheals
Fonua
Yeaman
Naughton
CT
Sneyd
Bowden
Houghton
Taylor
Mini
Frank
Thompson
Manu
Watts
Ellis
Green

They are all as equally important as each other and it seems there is no such thing as an 'easy' game in Super League. I personally would pick the strongest team available for a fixture away at Saints and possibly give a couple a rest the week after at home to Huddersfield, which according to the league table should be the slightly easier opponent.

| Certainly some tough choices to be made but I think we have shown today we can afford to rotate and will still be capable of getting a result. With that in mind if I was Radford I would rest anyone struggling for fitness after the Easter schedule.
