We are missing Fusitua, Newman, Sezer, Holroyd, Lisone, Tetavano, Lisone and Gannon. It's a 50/50 game all things considered.

That Lisone must be a big miss to list him twice…

this is the worst side ever in SL.
all I see is people making excuses should we lose.
lose this its a disgrace.

Wakefield have a smaller squad than ours and are equally injury hit stop making excuses its embarrassing.

leeds are 1/7 ON at the bookies. I've tipped leeds and I fully expect a win.

I'm sure that will feature in the team talk. I'll be there and hoping that you are right.

I hope I'm right. I should be

Should have beaten Cas easily too. However we are missing important players, and confidence hardly through the roof. I was basically just pointing out that Rohan is not going under the bus if we were to loose this game!

It's a disgrace to lose to Castleford twice, but we managed that.

Worse than the Widnes team from a few years back?

You could throw in Celtic Crusaders and one Leigh team also, but I guess facts are facts- they are played 14, lost 14. Just think they'll be up for it today and Gale and Fifita will make a difference. I'll be very surprised if this isn't very close.

I think so yes.close though.

I planned to go but got back from krakow late Friday then was at a fancy dress 50th birthday while 3 this morning so I'll give it a miss!

Didn’t we also lose to that terrible London team a few years back just before the Challenge Cup final.

Yeah, think we rested a few, pretty sure we lost to the horrendous Widnes team too

Olpherts dropped for Tindall. Ruan to debut off the bench. Myler and Austin in the halves, Handley at fullback.

That’s the end of Hooley then. If he can’t get a game on a ground where he played plenty as a kid, against the team who haven’t won a game all season, he needs to leave.

Handley will never make a fullback while ever I’ve got a hole in my butt, he can’t pass and is questionable defensively. That team should win today, but only because of how bad Wakey are.

Yeh I’m not sure what else Hooley can do. Seems to play well in the reserves every time and seemed to go well back at batley on loan.

Even having said that, personally I’d have rather played Jack, with myler back at fullback and Handley on the wing.

I don't get how Sinfield in the halves myler fb and Handley wing isn't the logical answer here. Baffled.

I can only assume Smith is desperate for some pace at fullback Seth, because I can’t see what else Handley offers there.

That arguably looks like Wakefields worst team of the season, in a season they’ve already not picked up a win…

Have you seen the Wakey team, Leeds could play you and me in the halves and we’d win today, and I’ve never played halfback, I’m 50, completely unfit and I’m 2 stone overweight…

No Lino or Gale. No excuses really.

Its a very conservative team selection. Handley at full back is painful to watch, although he could make hay if we're on the front foot all game. Assuming we don't just drop the ball every set, our biggest problem could be the complete lack of control Myler/Austin generally show between them.

Agree its hard to see how Hooley will ever get picked if he can't get in now. Maybe if we lose this one.....

On that basis you'd walk into Wakey's team.

In my defence, I did climb Pen-Y-Ghent yesterday, so I’ve been higher than any of the Wakey players have this season.
