    Reading between the lines I think I could confidently name 16 and then it’s a battle between Smith and Peyroux for the last spot. I can Smith missing out personally with Bentley or Knowles doing a stint at 9. I’d guess at:

    Coote
    Makinson
    Naiqama
    Percival
    Grace
    Lomax
    Fages
    Walmsley
    Roby
    Graham
    Peyroux
    Taia
    Knowles

    Lees
    Amor
    LMS
    Bentley

    I would stick with the same 17 as last week, no one deserves to be dropped from the Catalan game.

    I could go with that, still think that a hooker on the bench is a must with the 6 again rule stressing teams fitness another hooker later on could exploit a tired defence, personally Bentley did enough last week to warrant another week starting, to me the choice is between Smith and Peyroux, Lees back in for Batchelor makes sense.

    I agree, best team on the field against Leeds and maybe have a look at things for the Wakefield game. As you say though, we need 2 hookers.

    Leeds have just released their squad, no Konrad Hurrell due to a hamstring strain, a big loss for them.

    I think one of Lees, Amor and LMS will miss out and he’ll go with a bench of 2 props, 1 back row, 1 hooker. Harsh on Amor after last week but straight swaps Lees and Peyroux for Amor and Batchelor.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    I think Peyroux plays only if fully fit, if there are any doubts them he shouldnt play, as you say we need to be at full strength, we cannot carry someone not at 100%.

    Not playing Lees would be silly. Batchelor hasn’t done anything whatsoever to warrant leaving someone like Lees out.

    I would be happy going the same as last week to be honest, we looked really fit considering.

    I’d go with the same again. It would be hard to make a case to drop anyone unless there’s a minor knock or two.

    That is a real blow for them. That's most of the sting gone from that edge.

    Lees has to be in. He is ideally suited to the new rules.

    We did look in great shape, only change i would make is Lees in for Batchelor, again only if Lees is fully fit.

    I was thinking more on the lines that if Lees and Peyroux are not 100% then perhaps use the same team we've got lots of games to play. If Woolf selects Batchelor then that's a huge mental confidence boost for the lad, last weeks team is good enough to beat Leeds with Davidson and Hurrell out of the frame.

    I'd have Lees in for batchelor. Bentley was great last week, I think now could be the time for the lad to nail down a first team spot

    Personally I would go with the same 17.

    Plenty of games for everyone before the season ends.

    Big hint from Woolf in his interview on Saints TV that Bentley will be on the bench, which suggests Peyroux in.

    I can see Lees and Peyroux in with Batchelor and Amor out.

    That's why Woolf is an international coach and we are internet posters.

    Looking forward to the game, should be a good one.

    Don’t disagree with any of that mate. Lees missed out because of a sore throat though not an injury; it was to do with Covid protocol. So yeah fair enough don’t rush Peyroux back if not 100% but Lees is the type of player who should be playing every week really. He’s going to be a starting prop next season presumably so I’d like to see him get plenty experience and confidence this year playing alongside Graham.

    If all are fit.
    I would replace Bachelor with Peyroux, and although tough on him I would replace Lees with Amor. Lees start Graham on bench. The rest picks itself.

    Agree with you apart from Jammer on the bench. Go with Leesy on the bench and have his impact after 20 minutes. Jammer isn't someone who is going to impact the game with aggression as much as Matty Lees is.

    I only mentioned Jammer on the bench as that was the plan v Catalans according to KW. Jammer started when Lees was declared unfit. But I get what you are saying.
