Huddersfield

Interesting couple of weeks ahead selection wise with Rooney coming back to full fitness,DM said he like to see him get some action before he returns to the first team,so maybe a reserve game if we have one or perhaps a spot on the bench. Hoy still a couple of weeks away,so out of the equation and Cini has done well at fullback. Then you’ve got an argument for Tate and Senior on the wing,Atkins or Milnes in the halves and who steps in for Horne. We’ll certainly get an insight into Danny’s thinking from his selections.

atkin or hill can fill in for horn, but that would mean milne at half back?

I’d be tempted to put Hill to 9 and leave Atkin in the halves,we looked so much better like that. We would miss Milnes goal kicking but little else and to be fair to Atkin the kicks he missed were wide out. TotalRL reporting Hoy going to be out
a few more weeks as injury worse than first thought. Rooney will play in the reserves Friday and if he comes through that,back for Salford.

Hill plays on the front foot. For a hooker he passes the ball in front of the oncoming players which gets us motoring forward. The difference it makes is great. He has to play Thursday, even if milnes is on the bench so that atkin can spell him.

It shows what we’ve been missing this year.

Difficult to be confident given we’ve failed to back up performances this season,if we have consistent selection apart from Horne I would be expecting the Asi/Atkins link to have solidified a bit,Stimson with a weeks rest I assume would play longer minutes and Tate if selected would be less suspect defensively,all positives if we turn up with the same attitude as we did V Wigan while hopefully our coach will be fuelling the fire with the injustices of last week. Keep the completion rate high and we’d be worthy favourites.
Huddersfield’s pack were abysmal in France and were easily put to bed by a mediocre Catalans. No doubt Robinson will be looking for a response but he’s not exactly fostering a positive mental attitude whinging about the turnaround. They’d put in a couple of improved performances prior to this but Clunes is a big miss even though Frawley has come in on loan. I’d like to think our pack will dominate and given the room to play our backs can capitalise,I’ll go Cas by 10 in a high scoring game.
