Interesting pick, where/how would you bring Reynolds into the mix off the bench?

I would go the same but King at 13, Randell on the bench and Kirmond in the place of Reynolds.

Ashurst is the only second row we have that consistently does the 80 effectively currently but I would say with it been his first game back that may be too much of an ask. Having Kirmo on the bench will give us good options to replace Batch and Matty throughout with him and Tanginoa

One thing I've seen from Reynolds is effort which is great, however I've also seen no kicking game and quite a lot of his penalties failing to find touch.

Failing to find touch 'does my head in', but I'm not sure about the 'quite a lot' bit, although one miss is one too many.
Brough has missed a few also.

Broughy missed 3 within the 1st half a dozen games I think.

Not sure really, and maybe it's a waste of a bench spot. Just thinking that with the (bad) luck we've had with injuries that having Reynolds there offers some cover for the backs.

That’s true but Reynolds good kicks are very finnesque whereas brought is probably best kicker in super league .

For me after the debacle at London we need some changes , for me whilst Hampshire isn’t a super league standard stand off his pace and ability to break the line needs accommodating .

Jowitt did really well in his run and deserves a shot , Reynolds is perhaps the future but right now we need a win

Or Greg Bird I believe?

With Bird, Tomkins and Mcillorum missing, our chances certainly improve and it leaves Catalan relying on winning the forward battle.
We can win this one and "home" advantage should help.

Com on Trin !

I think we need a big pack so for me we start with Tyler and bring Kyle on when ( hopefully) the Catalan forwards start to tire. We can't afford to have Reynolds on the bench so it is him and either Hirst or Kirmo to miss out.
