Salford 2019, Leeds in 2021 and 2022 were horrible defeats. Hope we talk about them this week.
Team wise Havard would be an enormous IN for us. Even to do just a 20 minute spell. Seems less likely than Isa.
Juniors been brilliant but didn’t play many minutes against Leigh and then playing in the reserves (unlike Hill), maybe he’ll be dropped for Isa.
I’d keep Junior for his size and power.
Agree 100% on Nsemba, he looked good in the Reserves final - not as a wide running 2nd row but as a very impactful defender - and in wet weather.
Hill couldn't play due to his ban from the Leigh game - so not sure if he would have played as a reward for good service in the reserves or kept fresh for the semi.
I have to say that Thornley gained yards for fun in the Reserves final and Shorrocks also looked good - plenty of headaches for the coach!
