Same team as last week but replace Miski with Douglas.

What do we reckon with Field ?
Give him another hour or so, I'm sure the medical staff know how much he can cope with at the minute.
Also Douglas back in the 21, Miski's work rate from the back is fantastic but he's offering very little at the other end of the pitch at the moment

I don't see that happening in such a big game.

I thought Miski was much better on Thursday bar the late no contest with Halsall for the high ball. He got through so much work coming away from our line and was really making the Huddersfield defenders work hard to get him to the floor. I think we need to get Douglas a game or two if we can because he looks a really good player but I'd keep MIski in for now.

The big question for me is who plays 6 again. Initially I thought we should just stick with Hampshire but the more I think about it, the more I lean towards Keighran. I think we'd be better defensively and you get appearances for Eckersley thrown in to the bargain and unlike Hampshire, he will be here next year and he will play a big part for us. I'd probably make those changes and then put Hampshire on the bench as cover.

Suspect it will be same again, don't see any changes being made and perhaps like last match Field will do 50-60 mins. We will need to make a better start and not start playing in just the second half.

Still reckon if we'd scored in the second minute with Marshall passing instead of going himself we'd have put 50 past them.
Made a massive difference did that.
As soon as we scored in the second half their heads went down. After Wardle's try the result was never in doubt.

Same team as v Hoods but with Hampshire given a field kicking role to take the pressure off Harry. Also present Leigh with something they won't expect.

I can see some prop rotation and perhaps Douglas for Miski, the rest will be the same.

Strongest possible team for Tuesday, changes to come v Leeds.
Suprised if we change anything, bar one prop rotating in - likely Byrne.
