I think beating Saints is the important one, that could mean London game is a dead rubber, I don’t think London will beat either Cas or Catalan

Can't wait to see a back row of Martin, Ward and Merrin.

That was a proud performance, pride in the shirt they're wearing and willing to work for each other. Probably not a top of the table performance but keep that level of commitment and we'll win more than we lose.
All credit to the backroom staff in turning around the shambles of the early season form.
Let's just hope for some consistency in the remaining part of the season

Who goes at 13? I would put Ward there. With Mellor and I would genuinely keep Donaldson he deserves it, in back up and Sutcliffe as utility.

I won't disagree but I was more suggesting the London game should be easier than saints - on paper anyway and if we were to lose to London it's a double whammy.

If we can be safe by the time we meet London all the better I agree.

Wouldn't put ward there, his body doesn't need the workload of a 13 coming back.

Ward is finished, if he does play again this season he will be injured in no time, doubt he will last more than 4-5 games next year. unfortunately for him his body is not up to being a promotional RL player. we need to move him on look eleswhere.

Ward is scheduled to return next week.

Merrin at 13 all day long

This.
A team of:
1. Walker
2. Briscoe
3. Newman
4. Hurrell
5. Handley
6. Lui
7. Myler
8. Ava
9. Lunt
10. Cuthbertson
11. Ward
12. Martin
13. Merrin

14. Dwyer
15. Singleton
16. Sutcliffe
17. Donaldson

Isn’t bad for next season.
We’re probably a prop light there however the size of Merrin & Martin in the back row possibly account for some of that and the work Donaldson does and the utility value of Sutcliffe is invaluable.

We could do with a leading prop being signed for when Cuthbertson packs in. He’s been great for most of this season in my opinion and will be a gap to fill when he finishes.

Singleton still doesn’t show to me the attributes needed for a starting prop.

The halves are hit and miss at the moment. However if we can get a good pre-season into them I’m hopeful they can do what we need. Lui to move us around, Myler to support.
