If everyone's fit I'd go bench LMS, Lees, Amor and Paulo
I like the way Paulo links our attack, Tez summed it up well. I'd like to see more from him from a running sense to mix things up a bit but he helps give the lads out wide time and space to work their magic.
Amor has improved loads and deserves his spot.
LMS picks himself really
Lees had a great season so far with some of his best performances against Warrington.
What are people's thoughts on having Welsby on the bench to cover 1-7? Just thinking an injury to any of the backs early on could kill us, especially with Coote not playing a game since his injury.
Some of our forwards like Thompson and Lees have got big engines, surely a bench of 2 props, 1 SR and 1 back would be fine?

Couldn’t agree more, in fact part of me thinks there’s a lot of mind games being played by Holbrook. I’m no body language expert but I don’t feel Holbrook looks to convincing when saying all the injured players will be back next week. I don’t know of many teams who would play 4 players who hadn’t played for around a month in arguably the biggest game of the season. My guess is we’ll only have at most 2 of coote, roby, walmsley and knowles in the 17
I agree on the lack of fitness issue re Coote etc but I suppose only the conditioning staff know the ins and outs. For all we know they could have had a game against the reserves to give them a run out
I would play our strongest side & anyone injured gets an injection. Lots and lots of injections. So much so that we run out of painkillers. Even inject the ones who don't need one just to be sure.
What are everyone's thoughts?
Any word on Matty Lees’ injury he picked up?
Great stuff...

Think if he is fit, Holbrook will give Paulo a bench spot. Agree or disagree with it, Holbrook signed him for his experience and leadership. It’d be unlikely he won’t be picked unless he is injured.
Coote
Makinson
Kev
Percy
Grace
Fages
Lomax
Big al
Robes
Tommo
Taia
Peyroux
Knowles
Subs....
Lees
Amor
LMS
Paulo (because jh really rates him)
But me personally would throw Bentley on the bench over Paulo
Holbrook has just confirmed no Matty Lees at the weekend.
Massive shame for him missing out on a game like this.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
