Looks like the strongest squad we can put out at the moment.
Hankinson back in, possibly cover for second row if Greenwood gets pulled out ?

Lockers to share hooking with TL perhaps?

Or Williams with Lockers moving to #6 for a spell?

Last time we saw Hankinson it looked like he was already being bulked up for second row.

Escare to come on at 6, Williams to 9 for a spell?

Starting props is a conundrum, got to assume Saints will start with Walmesley and Thompson so do we go with Flower and Bullock and try to hold them or do we leave one on the bench to give us a bit of oomph for the interchange ?

Return of Greenwood makes a huge difference to our attack.

With Flower and SoL back too it gives us an outside chance rather than no hope.

Escare to 7, Sharrocks to 9 when/I’d Tommy goes off. Thoughts of moving Williams from half back are crazy

I’d be tempted to start with Flower and TT with Bullock and Navarette off the bench. We need TT and Navarette to bring it and not give their usual drivel.

I’m actually quite encouraged with that squad. A marker for the season could be laid on Friday.
