Wouldn't be surprised to see Leuluai left out regards his dislocated finger hence Woods back in the squad.

Hardly a classic but good grit and determination to close off the game. I think we were more than 7 points better than them to be honest. Play the kids next week now and start preparing for Cas in the semis

Well, that's it. Do you do that, or keep the first team on the park?

I would rest anyone with even the slightest niggle but wouldn’t go too overboard changing things, we have built up some good momentum and it would be nice to keep it up.

We need Clubb and Flower fit for the semi against a big Cas pack so I’d certainly leave them out and Lockers will be fine to just come in to that game and crack on as usual so no point risking him and I’d say the same for Leuluai. I’d also look to rest our best players and biggest attacking threats in Tomkins, Williams and Bateman.

I’d go-

Mullen
Manfredi Gildart Sarginson Davies
Escare Woods
Navarette Powell Sutton
Farrell Greenwood Hamlin

Subs
Tautai Partington Paisley Ganson

Sarge needs a Rest and was struggling 2nd half last night with what seemed like a Knee/Quad

And Whilst I agree on the Flower side of things if I was naming a prop to keep fresh and not risk injury then Ryan Sutton for me.
He was superb last night!!!
