Just one prop on the bench against Catalans pack seems unlikely.

i reckon you'll see currie starting at 13, nicholson at right 2nd row, and philbin musgrove and jordy on the bench with powell, who as we know has also played 13 for us.

This is what I'm expecting. The big question mark is regarding Williams. From what I've read, I don't think that Drinkwater is ready for this week and he's probably only included in the squad in order to keep Catalan guessing.

There look to be four or five changes to the Wire side vs the one they played in round 1, pretty much all of them positive.

Harrison
Walker
Vaughan
Fitzgibbon
Currie
Crowther

Philbin
Musgrove
Nicholson
Powell

But not too concerned about how the forwards are shuffled. But it's what happens at half-back that is the big one.

Drinkwater as does Williams need game time.
Play them both.
No sure on Winslide’s ‘rest Holroyd’ he’s too young for that excuse imo.
But yes drop him back to the academy if we have a selection headache.

We have to build a 17 team that almost picks itself, within building a terrific squad, that will more urgently win us the Challenge cup and eventually the Grand Final.

We need a squad of players who do a good job whether they start every week or not. So far this season all players (bar dudson) have performed well.

What we don't need is a really good but busted and bruised up 17 come the business end of the season.

I'm really happy with the way Burgess is using the squad this season so far. He's playing the long game, but not at the expense of performances and results.
