I've just seen the academy team for the Saints game today, very young. No Hill or Nsembe, suspect they may be in line for their debuts in the next week?
The KR game on Monday seems almost pointless, with the only thing to gain from it being the opportunity to look at fringe players and the kids. I’d go with a full reserve team on Monday and then back to full strength against Catalans. It should be a great opportunity for guys like Nsemba, Hill, Brannan, Astley etc on Monday.

It's effectively a reserve game on Monday. In key positions we could have debutants who are young, yes there will be seniors but a fair few "playing with injuries" cos our numbers are low. You'd be kicking yourselves if anyone major got injured on Monday looking back at seasons end and you wasnt to win the GF. Go with that team last night plus Farrell (what's the latest there) and you've got it in the bag
I hope we go with pretty much a full reserve team. Hill KR can’t make the playoffs or get relegated so only have pride to play for. We are safe in second and almost certainly won’t make top so seems senseless to ask players to back up after yesterday.

Latest update from our end is just the 13 out now, relatively full strength!!
Understand why they've done it this season with the world cup coming up but these double up weekends need to be consigned to the history books, not doing the players or the sport any favours whatsoever

This is the last one - they've been scrapped for next year. Basically means the season will be extended by a couple of weeks.
