After the poor performance against Wakefield, in which we managed to get a win, we come into a very tough game v Hull FC, with Zane Tetevano and Richie Myler available for selection and hopefully Kyle Eastmond will be fit to play.

Richie Myler
Tom Briscoe, Konrad Hurrell, Liam Sutcliffe, Ash Handley
Kyle Eastmond, Luke Gale
Mikolaj Oledzki, Kruise Leeming, Matt Prior
Alex Mellor, Rhyse Martin
Zane Tetevano

Brad Dwyer, King Vuniyayawa, Sam Walters / James Donaldson / Bodene Thompson / Jarrod O’Connor

Luke Briscoe

I wouldn't be dropping Broadbent I'd say he deserves too keep fullback slot for me. I'd go with something like.

Broadbent
T.Briscoe
Hurrell
L.Sutcliffe
Handley
Myler
Gale
Oledzki
Dwyer
Prior
Mellor
Martin
Tetevano

Subs

Dwyer
Thompson ( if fit)
Donaldson ( if fit)
Eastmond ( if fit)

I'd be tempted too rest/ drop Mellor or Martin for this one and Give O' Connor or Walters a start in second row as they've been playing well in our pack but they both could get spots in 17 anyway if Thompson, Donaldson & Eastmond aren't back. Gannon as well has been brilliant but is only 17 don't want to over expose him too much.

I think Broadbent is injured

Hes certainly took some hammer when bringing the ball back since the Wigan game. Hes done a really good solid job for us this season tho and has shown he has SL potential but with Myler back i would be tempted to take Jack out of the firing line for a bit now.

He could be carrying a knock or 2 also like you say.

Looked to be limping towards the end of the game. He might be out through injury anyway.

Hope Myler comes back in and finds some form. Don't want to see him mouthing off to the ref again. Gale seems to have stopped it. Myler does too.

Jacks done a solid job at FB but Myler back in for me. Hopefully jacks next chances come at Centre...But like marty says, he's proved he's a SL level player now so already a good season of progress for him.

Myler
T Briscoe although I would be tempted to drop him for Broadbent.
Hurrell
Sutcliffe
Handley
Eastmond
Gale
Oledzki
Leeming
Prior
Martin
Mellor
Tetevano

Vuniyayawa /Thompson
Walters /Gannon
Dwyer
O'Connor /Donaldson/Gannon

Can't see Donaldson getting a game anytime soon, and rightly so, the emergence of Walters, Gannon + O'Connor should prevent Donaldson getting a game. Also add the return of Tetevano + I cant see him playing for a while.

If eastmond is fit swap him and sutcliffe

With tetevano returning and if king can continue on from Friday the middle options look good. I’d like to see tetevano given an uncomplicated role at prop to make the most of his assets, prior and O’Connor (deserves another stint after Friday) sharing the minutes at 13.

The next time Broadbent gets an opportunity I hope it’s at centre, he’s stood up well but the attacking shape is crying out for the what Myler has added there.

I D be tempted to start Tetevano at 13 then move him to prop and bring O'Connor on.

Yeah I just feel prior is more suited to that industrious role where youd see more of tetevanos explosive impact with the slightly reduced work rate.

As Bang said Broadbent seemed to be struggling with a thigh injury, I’d definitely bring Myler back at FB as he links well with Gale from there.

The scrappy win v wakey could be very important but we now need to kick on to have a chance of getting in the 6.

Next 6 games are Fc, Cas, saints , Catalan, Salford and Leigh. Think we need to win 4 minimum. We need to beat some top six teams to get in it. Beating saints or Catalan away look pretty unlikely so we need to beat Fc and Cas to get the season going.

Hoping having fans back will lift the team to best display of the year.

Can only see 2 wins from those.. but I may be pleasantly surprised

That looks More likely on form. Sunday v FC feels like a chance to change the momentum and could Be pivotal for the season. They have been much better than us but if we could edge a tight one it could get us going.

As you we were.....

Myler should go to fullback imo. It is his best position and he gives us a new attacking dimension at fullback outside Gale.
He has proved time and again he cannot be effective at halfback. I would prefer to leave Sutcliffe there or try another option until McLelland or Lui are fit than move Myler from fullback.

really hope I'm wrong but i just can't see us beating FC, Saints, Cas on current form.. Tetevano will help a lot as will Myler coming back but we're really struggling at stand off. even more so now Eastmond hasn't worked out.. at best we'll do well to win 3.

Can’t argue with any of that, I’m just trying to get glass half full ahead of seeing a live game again. Hull have been much better than us to date but they ain’t Melbourne Storm. Time we put on a show, come on lads.

can't fault you Mark. Hope so too ! like you say we need to start performing ! hopefully return of fans will do the trick

Should be an interesting game this.
Leeds seem to be welcoming some players back and Hull will want a response after what was a very poor display last night against Catalans.
We are really missing some size in the front row currently so I don't expect Hull to dominate up the middle.

Know Taylor is out. Is Bowden? Any others ?

Ofcourse we can beat Hull. Just need a big improvement in skill Levels. Big game this, they were very average v Catalans.....

Agree. Myler to full back and Broadbent in the halves (if he is fit)
