    Don't think he has been too bad this second half of the season, seems to be more confident and assertive.

    I think we need to assume the refs will do us no favour and play to win regardless of their decisions. In a close game they can massively effect play and the end result can be in doubt- if we play to our capabilities we shouldn’t need to worry too much about the 50/50 decision or the blatant bad call!

    Just a question, before they announce the squad,
    Would you risk a full team for this game.

    We don't need to win it.

    I'm not suggesting a team full of youngsters but Roby and Lomax are crucial to us and bearing in mind our opponents history for sometimes taking out important players, and knowing that we will most likely face them at Old Trafford is it worth being a bit cagey.

    I don't think Holbrook will do it but some of us have seen it before with Wigan.

    Either way I hope we have Bentley on the bench so that if the game wrapped up we could take Robes off. He missed 2nd half at Hull because if a twinge from a groin strain, he has had plenty of time to rest it but until you put it to the test you can't tell.

    Agreed. Although they’re in good form they haven’t been tested by anyone, having played lower level super league teams or out of form top teams in their recent winning run. They may take some solace from our Wembley loss but they know we have beaten them 3 times so far and despite our error count we remain the form team.

    We are 80 mins from Old Trafford. Now is not the time to rest players regardless of the fact that we will get a 2nd chance if we lose.

    I would go full steam ahead and do a lot of physical and mental damage to the goons and win, because we know Cas or Salford will go full on the following week against them.

    Aaron Smith is in the squad so he might be on the bench

    Exactly and the players have just had a week off. They will be licking their lips at the thought of getting back out there on Friday.

    I think it would be insane to do anything else. No wins are guaranteed so you don't go throwing a life away. Get yourself in the final and let the other teams kick each other in.

    Absolutely this. To contemplate anything else is ridiculous.

    Im torn whether or not a weeks rest is advantageous but it is what it is. Holbrooks management and team preparation will just have to be on point.
    I agree though. We should be fielding a full strength team this week and going for the win.

    Holbrook seemed to welcome the week off given we have played 33 weeks back to back.
    Wigan had quite a physical encounter last weekend.
    Got to be get the job done first time if possible for me.

    Rather like he can't see us scoring tries?

    For me we don't want nor need to be giving players potentially 2 weeks off before the biggest game of the season.

    Still 10 yards to me Roy. But it used to be a pint of mixed until 3 years ago. We will soon become like Nigel Wood useless and out in the long grass.
