Quick question do season ticket holders get in free?

If all are fit

Can I just point out that 11 of that team were missing on Sunday against Wigan and Craig Hall cut his fingernails too short and we all know how painful that is.

That looks like too much of a change and although Sheffield are not breaking any pots in the Championship, we could be all over the place with so many changes.
I'm certainly in favour of resting a few but we could slip on the proverbial banana skin, if we make wholesale changes to a winning team, just ask Wigan

Do you think that team would be strong favourites to beat Sheffield

They should be able to beat them but, changing 1,6,7 & 9 would make for a very interesting evening and we should be making absolutely certain that we make it into the next round.
Personally, I'm all for fielding our strongest team, allowing for some tinkering if anyone is carrying a knock plus, maybe giving the two youngsters a breather (even though they will, no doubt, be desperate to play).

Play anyone, Thaler is the referee In all seriousness I'd rest players who have taken a high work load over easter to freshen them up for a massive game against Hull FC.

Lets just say that if we had to play that team on Friday because of injuries, it would not be too unrealistic to expect us to win comfortably.

Re: Sheffield Eagles - 15/4/2016 (Challenge Cup 5th Round) : Tue Apr 12, 2016 6:22 pm  

Normally a fan of sticking with a winning team but after a hectic easter some serious rotation is probably in order.

I'd rest Jowitt, Johnstone, Moore, Scruton, England, Kirmond, Miller to name but a few. These players for me are our main strike players and after four games in three weeks need to freshen up.

I'd play the following (keeping Finn on for no longer than required).

Tansey
BJB
Gibson
Tupou
Owen

Finn
Hall

Tuopu
Annakin
Molloy
Arona
Howarth
Simon

Yates
Walker
Anderson
Sio

Move Howarth up to H/B when Finn is done.

Not disrespecting Sheffield here as I'm sure they are capable of kicking our butts if we don't take them seriously.

Is this the same Sheffield that beat us in the middle 8s.

I would keep Miller in, he's on fire at the moment.
Would replace Finn with Hall.
As for other rotation, CC seems to know how to do this.
