So Friday see us go to the form team in SL. They look the team to beat this year and it'll be a tough ask however the weekend after Easter can throw up some interesting results with fatigue and squad rotation.
We'll have a better idea once the squads are announced but I think we have a shot, provided we don't gift them points and field position a la Monday!
I wouldn't be surprised to see a fair amount of squad rotation with Taylor and Mini both getting a break after playing big minutes over Easter. Hopefully Manu will be back along with Carlos, Shaul and Houghton. I'd expect Masi, Lane and Fash to all play with Logan possibly coming in too.
I reckon Taylor and Mini will play, Carlos, Shaul and Houghton will play if fit, and the rest of the pack will be rotated depending on who needs resting the most.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
If Manu is back I'd be surprised if Mini plays. He played both Easter games so could probably do with a break. That said, if they are feeling good and have recovered well then we'd be stronger with both in. Radders will know better than us what state the players are in.
I noticed that Luke Douglas got sin binned for a crusher tackle against Widnes. Would be useful if he copped a 1 game ban, especially with Walmsley out too.

It's Luke Thompson's go forward we'll have to combat and Barba from deep. Tough task.
