I'd freshen things up with Pryce, Naughton, Hadley and Tomo all coming back in, if we have no knocks though, no idea who to rest?
They are low on confidence lost a couple of good players to injuries, potential ban for Brough?
Should be aiming to win the next three and then could rest a few for the last game with Salford before the semi.
Said to my dad yesterday, we can't be far off cementing top four after the 30 games. 10 point cushion over 5th now, if we win 2/3 more before the split, we may only have to win 1 Of the supers 8s to guarantee it. Good times.
Obviously it would be good to get a home semi final so top two would be ideal.

I'd be a bit disappointed if we didn't make the top 2, 3/4 wins would see us top at the split which gives you a real advantage with the fixtures, 4 home fixtures and 3 away which includes 2 against 7&8th.
I'd be tempted to play this team on Thurs
Naughton Lancaster Micheals Carlos Talanoa Pryce Sneyd Green Houghton Bowden Manu Mini Thompson
Ellis Pritchard Watts Hadley
That's providing there are no knocks, I would definitely get Pryce back into the squad as I feel we have more chance of winning something this year with him in the side.

will be disappointed if we don't win this one comfortably. even with a bit of rotation we should have more than enough to to the job. we'll have to play pretty bad to lose it
We should be looking to win the last 4 but maybe the salford one we look to rest a few bodies for the CC game so 3 from 4 is minimum I'd be looking for

Green and bowden starting!!!! Think your bang on, after last 2 games think probably deserve it on merit rather than rotation, both been very good

I'd would be as well after witnessing our last home games against Wakey but then again we are more then capable of causing an upset and putting a performance (Nilling Wire comes to mind and the magic weekend) . We have lost around the same number of games by 0 to 8 points as you have won and I hope you do come with a complacent attitude. Still expect you to win though but it wont be a cake walk.

The next 4 games are massive banana skin games. We are, for the first time in a long time, favourites and this can lead to complacency. These are games that top sides win and win comfortably, building up a good points difference, however I feel that we still go into these games underestimating the opposition and this will eventually slip us up. We are the team everyone wants to beat and knock off the perch, we cannot go into this with anything less than a 100% attitude imo.
