Agree - but who do you leave out? Martin? Bentley? Good to see a bit of competition for places, in the forwards at least!

Martin is first choice kicker and I'd argue our player of the year this year certainly a top contender, Bentley has improved massively since RS arrived, Gannon going great but still not 18 years old, it won't do him any harm to be on the bench or spell him every now and again. I think our back row of Martin Bentley and Cameron Smith is our strongest at the moment.

Myler
Fusitua Sutcliffe Hardaker Handley
Austin Sezer
Oledzki Leeming Prior
Martin Bentley
O’Connor

Dwyer Gannon Tetevano Walters/Mustapha.

Johnson Sinfield Briscoe

However I wouldn’t be surprised if it was:

Hardaker
Fusitua Sutcliffe Briscoe Handley
Myler Sezer
Oledzki O’Connor Prior
Gannon Martin
Bentley

Leeming Tetevano Austin Walters/Mustapha

Dwyer Johnson Sinfield

We cant go back to Briscoe in the centre!

That’ll be our team I think, Tetevano may start with Prior on the bench as that’s what Smith went with against Warrington

There was an interview where RS mentioned Fussy at centre, so that might be an option. I'd keep Myler at full back and Austin at half back though as I felt Austin went well last week.

We need to view this game in conjunction with both the Warrington and Catalan games. It's very unlikely Smith isn't going to do some rotating of the squad, especially the forwards. So I'd definitely expect Prior to start tomorrow with maybe Mik or Tetevano off the bench. If he genuinely is fit I'd let Leeming start with Dwyer on the bench and rest O'Connor and maybe Gannon.

Two wins needed to go into the playoffs in good form with confidence. Win tomorrow and we are halfway there. I’d play the strongest team tomorrow, rest a few in France, and then strongest team for Cas.

Smith has said he's going all out for this game and then assess where we are after in terms of form/injuries/tiredness etc.

Beat Huddersfield and put out our best side against Dragons and if we win we could finish above Dragons if they lose last game
against Wigan and we beat Cas. Take each game as a final and see how it goes we might end up at home in the playoffs its not impossible.

Really tough game tonight. Their greatest asset is their 80 minute grind down the middle. Coincidentally our greatest weakness. We'll need to play some football and hope passes stick. Looking forward to it.
