I think we are timing our run really well - not quite as perfectly as last year - from memory we had our injured stars play a few more H&A games before finals.
Prestia only risk is re touch / form but I still think he will offer more at 75% in the first final that Ross at 100% as we play on quality not quantity. Prestia will only then get better.
All the others you have mentioned Dyer’ere, I am not that worried - Cotch, Houli being playing OK, Edwards looked sharp and Astbury looked clean on their return games. Bolton and Lynch haven’t missed that much so they should be fine.
With team selections / balance, there are only two areas where I see us being vulnerable - firstly is working out how to best cover for Soldo - that will keep the coaches awake at night and I think the rest of the team almost picks itself.
The second area is how to tell the unlucky players they miss out - there are 3 or 4 players in this boat whereas previously it’s only been 1 or 2 players such is our depth.
Recent history for the tigers is that they don’t make many changes during the final series so if you ain‘t in that team come next weekend - the chances are you have missed out and are in that boat.
