Ablett got a two week breather after kicking at Monaghan's head and he also recently missed the Wakey game so he's missed a few of the most recent games.



Sometimes a quiet game can just be as straight forward as an off day, it doesn't always have to be an indicator of a player being tired and needing a rest.

Have to disagree here. Ablett has been excellent but JP has not just been our stand out forward, he has been Superleague's standout forward.



Just check his stats:

Top metre maker in the competition, 9th highest tackler, 2nd best marker tackler, 3rd best off-loader.



As for last week; only JJB and Josh Walters came anywhere near JP's 36 tackles, only Rob Burrow came anywhere near his 146 metres and only Kallum matched his 3 offloads.



I agree, however that he did look tired. FWIW I think he always looks tired.

Yes you are quite right. JP is so consistently good that I was taking him for granted. So apart from JP, Ablett has put in consistent quality performances (for JP read Romans as in "what have the Romans done for us)"



Although we need a strong team out against Bradford I would not want to go into the semi without JP or Ablett.

I'd rest one of Peacock and Leuluai, probably Peacock. Simply because there might not be another opportunity to. There's only the Bradford & London games left in the season that you would class as "easier" games. I think we've got to take the opportunity to rest Peacock or Leuluai in at least one of them.

Leuluai has only just come back from injury so doesn't need resting. If Bailey and Delaney are fit you could look at resting Peacock.

Peacock and Ablett both rested as well as Watkins and Hall. Moon injured. Squad in full;



Zak Hardaker

Ben Jones-Bishop

Danny McGuire

Rob Burrow

Kylie Leuluai

Paul Aiton

Jamie Jones-Buchanan

Stevie Ward

Brett Delaney

Ryan Bailey

Ian Kirke

Mitch Achurch

Tom Briscoe

Liam Sutcliffe

Brad Singleton

Elliot Minchella

Josh Walters

Robbie Ward

Ash Handley

Says Peacock (back) and Ablett (elbow) are the reasons they miss out.



I'd go



Hardaker

Briscoe (probably see him moved over to the left wing though)

Handley

Sutcliffe

BJB

McGuire

Burrow

Leuluai

Aiton

Singleton

JJB

Walters

Delaney



R.Ward

Bailey

Kirke

Achurch

Handley and Sutcliffe in the centres then, presumably? Unless the ill-fated experiment with trying to turn Ward into one is to continue.

Could always put Kirke at centre.



Didn`t he start off there when in he was at York?

Then again maybe not.

Stick to Sutcliffe and Handley.

Surprised we're resting so many backs. If the 19 stays the same:



Hardaker/BJB



Briscoe

Sutcliffe

Hardaker/BJB

Handley



McGuire

Burrow



Leuluai

Aiton

Singleton

Delaney

Achurch

JJB



Kirke

Bailey

S.Ward

Walters

Thought Handley was a fullback/winger? If he's ok at centre then yes put him there with BJB on the wing so Zak can stay fullback.
