Trying to identify what is a club’s best side is subjective (just look at the differing opinions on players among the Saints fans on redvee for example) and therefore impossible for any individual or organisation to rule that the best 17 hasn’t been selected on any given day. Similarly, any attempts to restrict a side to those players named a couple of days prior to kick off is unworkable given that knocks can subsequently be picked up in training or even the pre-match warm up. There is also the likelihood that illness sets in, as with Lomax after he had flown to Perpignan with the squad, necessitating late change. All clubs are often coy with their squad announcements, I see that Tasi is included in the Warrington squad and yet at Thursday’s training session he could barely walk. Now he might fully recover in time for tomorrow but equally perhaps that is why Johnson was recalled from HKR.
