No Hardaker for Leigh on Friday, Asiata is doubtful, Our team picks itself apart from the last bench spot, do we go for size in Hill or utility in Cust/Shorrocks in case of an injury?

I’m sure Asiata will play, there a chance they could slip and go 5th.
I can’t see us resting anyone. I see us starting with KPP at prop playing Nsemba in at second row and then bring Shorrocks in off the Bench

I thought that myself, Nsemba was good last week and played the full 80, maybe to prepare him for this week?
Just that last bench spot to debate really. I think Peet needs to put himself in the mindset of being in the middle of a semi final/final again and ask himself if he would trust Harvie Hill enough to bring him on. He did not do that in the Cup Semi and if the answer is still no, he may as well put Shorrocks on the bench and then we can use KPP or Smithies at prop in spells.
I think I would go Shorroks as well tbh. Hill has done well so far when he's played but it's very early days and he is still getting used to the pace of the games. We know at worst, Shorrocks could play in an extremely intense/fast game and still be going as strong on 80 minutes, as he would be in the first minute.

I’d go Shorrocks too, feel safer with him if anyone gets injured too, and I don’t think Shorrocks did you bad last week, good play to put Mago through the gap for Powell’s try.
Great points about Shorrocks. He proved earlier in the season that in attritional games, that his lungs and fitness were an asset. His performances v Wire and Saints on Good Friday are definitely worth considering at this time of year. KPP has gone very well at prop at times, so it's well worth a shout.
