Quite a big game, Wakefield getting some wins on the board under Willie Poching, but we need to push on for the play off run in, further up the better.

Wakey did us a nice little favour last night. Hopefully we dont return it on Monday. Get the win, get home move onto Tragic Weekend

At least we are in decent form at the right time of year. We look like we're really missing big Mik to me but this all makes for an interesting few weeks.

Wakey had a bit of a resurgence but is it sustainable..?

1 day extra turnaround will help us. Think we can get a result here if we start big. Looking forward to it

Interestingly, Mclelland is available and had a good game v Huddersfield but do we bring him back in or go with the same as v Wigan?

Anyone know if disciplinary panel sit before this game? I reckon Zane could be absent if that's the case.

Looking at the last two games you could argue McLelland back in at half, Leeming back to nine and Dwyer missing out. Doubt that will happen though.

He will be available for Monday.

But not for magic?

Not sure that will be up to the Disciplinary. Probably more chance of getting banned for the Bateman one than the one he got binned for but we will see.

Bring McLelland in for Dwyer and Broadbent in for TB, who either plays on the wing in place of his brother, or misses out for me. I know he was solid in defence on Wednesday, but he offers little with the ball there.

Tetevano can play on Monday, but then a two match ban after.

Myler; Briscoe Newman Briscoe Handley; Lui Mclelland; Prior Leeming Thompson; Martin Donaldson; Tetevano.

Dwyer Smith Holroyd Vuniyayawa

O’Connor Walters Broadbent Gannon

give Gannon a rest in this one and then have him back in v Hull FC on Saturday with Tetevano being banned

Tetevano has been a massive let down full stop. Played around a third of the season if that.

no he hasnt.
he cant help injuries or covid.
silly tackle v wigan but others, hastings v saints is one, was far far worse and not even a word off the ref alone a ban

Close he’s been given 3 games.

I think that’s ridiculous considering Willi Isa only got 4 for about 5 incidents.

He's a great player to watch, no doubt about that. However, on a purely factual basis you can't escape the fact the other two Marquee overseas players (Merrin & Hurrell) both had a greater impact in their first year. He needs to reign in some of the aggression and play more like a senior pro in 2022.

Agree with you both. The disciplinary system is extremely inconsistent and yes Tetevano needs to keep his nose clean next year. I really do believe he’s been hard done to on both bans

Think part of tetevano ban length will be the amount of previous incidents he has

Prior
Leeming
Holroyd
Martin
Gannon
Smith

Tetevano
Dwyer
King
Donaldson

Hope to see this as the pack and interchange

Could be Tets last game of the season if we don’t get in play offs so I doubt he will be on the bench.

agree re being hard done to , not sure of the bateman incident but others seem to be clumsy rather than dirty certainly not like moz making an impression in oz

I know what you're saying but whether starting on the bench or starting he'd play the same minutes. It's about getting the best impact and whats right for the team.

I would not be too disappointed if he developed “home sickness” needs to have more positive impact when he is on the field, I can accept the bans if he is ripping it up when on the field, which he isn’t. He is currently more Ben cross mark oneil and no where near a Kylie or Prior he’s no better than King or Thompson but on 4-5 times the money.

Cannot disagree more.
He is better than Thompson and King put together and has given us the steel we have been missing for a long time.
Yes he needs to work on his technique but he would be a massive miss if he were to develop home sickness.
