Hopefully Boothroyd is available to play second row. If not it will be Pitts I suspect.
I would play:
Cozza
Croft
Smith
Bain
Lawford
Gale
I’d like to see Booth at full back but has to be from bench I think unless he starts on wing. He looked good at full back early season when he broke through at pace.
Vs Swinton.
No need to risk those with knocks like Walmsley, Lino, Griffin etc unless they’re fit.
Rotate forwards a bit one a week if possible to give each one a week ahead of final.

Realise what positions Bain plays in thanks
, which is why I used the word Could in my post, think Powell will stick with Ashurst and Pitts though, Boothroyd is still several weeks away from being fit to play as far as I'm aware. Not totally sure what position suits Booth yet, he has been tried at FB, HB wing and centre so far. Jerry needs game time so will probably feature, Olpherts had his best game for us last week so will probably keep his place especially as if as you say Walmsley isn't fit, Powell seemed to suggest in his post match interview.that both him and Atoni would probably be OK. I have my doubts he looked to be struggling with that knee. Gale may be OK he looked fine on that video of the post match celebrations dancing around the dressing room in just his knickers. Why was he in just his pants? He hadn't even played
