Play our best possible team, in prep for next week.



Contrary to popular opinion, the worst possible time to rest anybody would be the week before a big game. They all need to play.



That said, I'd be disappointed if Hoffman played 80 mins again.



Tomkins

Charnley, Tomkins, Carmont, Richards

Finch, Deacon

Lima, Leuluai, Coley

Hoffman, Hansen

O'Loughlin



McIlorum, Farrell, Mossop, Prescott (we need to know if he's 100%)

I honestly don't think we'd win if you rested all those players.

The coaching and fitness staff will know which of the players may be a little jaded and in need of a rest.



In my opinion players should not be rested just in case they may get injured - after all they may get injured in the first minute at Wembley.



Players need to play and they are professional enough to know that when they are on the field they risk injury especially if they don`t give 100% in everything they do.



I trust Madge 100 % to get the balance right - he knows the right calls to make.

Presuming Wire win in France our result means little on Friday.



Win and we still need to win at Wire. Lose and we still need to win at Wire.



That's why I'd have no problems resting rafts of players on Friday. With us having pretty much a given on the last day we could actually afford to still lose this and finish top if we do the business at Wire.

This for me! We need to play our strongest possible side and take momentum into next week. Only exception I may have is rest Carmont.

agree , cant see madge making wholesale changes anyway



plus i want all 3 trophys , so no easing up please

I would hope Madge rests one or two players but I doubt he'll make wholesale changes. I think Mossop should be considered for a rest since he's been playing a lot of game time without a break. Lima was rested for Salford and I think Mossop should be rested against Bradford.



Other than that I can't see who might benefit from a rest other than Carmont.



Sam Tomkins

Charnley

Joel Tomkins

Marsh

Richards

Finch

Deacon

Prescott

Leuluai

Lima

Hansen

Hoffman

O'Loughlin



McIlorum

Coley

Farrell

Hock

If it were my choice I'd go.



Sam

Charnley

Joel

Marsh

Richards

Deacon

Leuluai

Lima

McIlorum

Coley

Hoffman

Hansen

Lockers



Prescott

Hock

Farrel

Roberts



That would mean Carmont, Finch and Mossop all received a rest. And I'd make sure that as soon as we secured a commanding lead, that Sam and Lockers were replaced for the rest of the match by Roberts and Farrel.

I think we should push for a big win. Cos wire may end up losing this weekend at Catalans and that would mean we could lose 130-0 the week after the cup final and still be top. Rest only the players like preccy who need it.

if Raynors playing, i would rest Joel.

I'd like to see us go



1. Amos Roberts

2. Josh Charnley

3. Joel Tomkins

4. Stefan Marsh

5. Pat Richards

6. Joe Mellor

7. Paul Deacon

8. Lee Mossop

9. Tommy Leuluai

10. Jeff Lima

11. Harrison Hansen

12. Ryan Hoffman

13. Liam Farrell



14. Mike McIllorum

15. Eamon O'Carroll

16. Gareth Hock

17. Paul Prescott



Rests for Carmont, Lockers, Coles and Sam games for marsh amos and ocarroll. Preccy needs to play to check his hamstring.



And that team above should still hammer bradford.

The main 2 we should rest are Sam and Carmont because we simply don't have replacements for those 2. I'd rest them not really to keep them fresh but to just make sure they don't get injured. The injury to Cross proves how easy they can occur and whereas we have pretty strong back up in other areas we don't in the centres and no team could replace a guy like Sam.

Would you not put Richards into that bracket? (If not solely for his kicking and defensive contribution).



I'd hate seeing Darrell Goulding's name on the Wembley teamsheet.

The above without doubt!
