Or he could keep Hood at half (three reasons: he went alright there last week, Gale's back so he won't need to kick!, and we have two other very good hookers in the squad who can rotate). Either way I think we'll have too much for them again, but I'd like to see:

Jowitt
McGillvary
Thornley
Pratt
Olpherts
Gale
Hood
Bain
Doyle
Rodwell
Ashurst
Griffin
Pitts

Smith
Atoni
Shaw
Boothroyd

As for Sheffield, they're missing Thackeray so Hansen will play in the halves. Matty Marsh at fullback - he hasn't played against us yet and he's their in-form player so I hope Powell's done his research on him. Their structure changes a lot when he plays.

Be a tough game this, we're a bit lighter in the forwards than normal so it won't be our usual physically dominant game but with a couple of our older heads back I'm pretty confident of the win.

I would guess that Atoni comes in for Bowden and Thornley in for Croft as Straight swaps. Gale will play 6 with Max at 7 and I think Walmsley will move back to full back with Jerry playing on the wing.

I honestly think that with Lino out for an unspecified time that he will continue with Jowitt at 6 for consistency if he’s needed in the finals. I’d expect Walmsley or Booth at full back rest of season and Walmsley on the win when McGillvray gets spelled. For Sheffield … Walmsley McGillvray Thornley Pratt Olpherts Gale Jowitt Atoni Doyle Bain Ashurst Griffin Pitts Smith Rodwell Shaw Boothroyd Having Atoni back will make a huge difference. When Uele is back the pack will be very strong. Any news on Uele?

We saw Atoni, Vagana and Uele all arrive together at Dewsbury last Sunday and Uele had his knee in a brace
