Suspect it'll be a very different team than the one that played at Dewsbury. Agree with you altofts - he could keep Max at halfback and move Walmsley to the back. Or he could keep Hood at half (three reasons: he went alright there last week, Gale's back so he won't need to kick!, and we have two other very good hookers in the squad who can rotate). Either way I think we'll have too much for them again, but I'd like to see:
Jowitt
McGillvary
Thornley
Pratt
Olpherts
Gale
Hood
Bain
Doyle
Rodwell
Ashurst
Griffin
Pitts
Smith
Atoni
Shaw
Boothroyd
As for Sheffield, they're missing Thackeray so Hansen will play in the halves. Matty Marsh at fullback - he hasn't played against us yet and he's their in-form player so I hope Powell's done his research on him. Their structure changes a lot when he plays.
I honestly think that with Lino out for an unspecified time that he will continue with Jowitt at 6 for consistency if he’s needed in the finals.
I’d expect Walmsley or Booth at full back rest of season and Walmsley on the win when McGillvray gets spelled.
For Sheffield …
Walmsley
McGillvray
Thornley
Pratt
Olpherts
Gale
Jowitt
Atoni
Doyle
Bain
Ashurst
Griffin
Pitts
Smith
Rodwell
Shaw
Boothroyd
Having Atoni back will make a huge difference. When Uele is back the pack will be very strong. Any news on Uele?
