| If Burrow is fit then I'd just revert to the old style of Burrow at 9. Yes it has its flaws but we've also won trophies with him starting there so better than messing about hoping something else will work.
If he isn't fit then my left field suggestion is Moon at hooker with someone filling in at left centre, Ablett, Keinhorst (if his eye turns out ok) or Handley/Briscoe.

Gets my vote. I don't see how we can do anything other than look for some serious performances in all four - hopefully - remaining games. This would apply just as much even if the LLS wasn't at stake. That's assuming Burrow's recovered sufficiently, of course. If he hasn't, we should save him for the semi/GF rather than gamble on him in the hope of a LLS.

I agree with this, but would start Singleton instead of Cuthbertson.
However, I think Watkins will be fit and will play, which means Handley dropping out.

| I think we've got to go as strong as possible, we've got to try and get a bit of fluidity back into our attack and that means playing the players we'll play in the semi and hopefully the final.
So:
1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. McGuire
8. Garbutt
9. Lilley
10. Peacock
11. Ablett
12. Delaney
13. Cuthbertson
14. Burrow
15. Leuluai
16. Ward
17. Singleton
I'd start with Lilley at 9, if he looks like he's struggling we can bring Burrow off the bench. But I still think Burrow is most effective when coming off the bench rather than starting.

| If Burrow plays this week, then it is out of panic and rushing him. His wife was clear the other week when she said he would not be able to play until the Huddersfield game earliest. She was clear it was a grade 2 tear, and if you do look that up, the time frame would suggest what she said.

On reflection I'd agree with this: I said at the time Lilley didn't look too bad at dummy half; he certainly sped up the ruck compared to Sinfield. R.Ward is obviously not in consideration and giving Lilley another run is going to be less disruptive than my other suggestion of moving Moon to SO and keeping Sinfield at dummy half.... S.Ward to start though with Delaney on the bench.
It seems a shame we cannot somehow utilise Handley during this mounting injuries issue.....and for sure IF Watkins doesn't make this one then I would def bring Handley into the threequarters rather than Ablett....who has to stay in the forwards !!
If it's too soon for Burrow then maybe R.Ward should be given another chance to stake his claim from the bench??

I am lead to believe that Burrow won't be back until next week. Sinfield needs to be in his six position and we need a proper nine too.

| I am totally at a loss to see what Robbie Ward or Lilley has done at this level to suggest they have what it takes to deliver a performance required to win a LLS or GF.
Mac is totally correct to go with players who have proven they can lift to the intensity required. Injuries aside Lilley, Ward and Walters should be running the kicking tee at best as this point.

Burrow/ Walters .
We need Sinfield back at 6 for his game management. He can still help out at hooker ,same for Burrow.
I think Lilley did enough to keep his spot at hooker and we have no one else without moving people out of position . He added speed to the ruck and didn't let anyone down.
Really need the backs to get stuck in for attack and make good decisions in defence .
Sinfield controlling things at 6 should mean we have a kicking game on the 5th.
Must win game IMO, could do with saints beating Wigan too
