McLelland to Hull KR? they do come out with such rubbish at times do Hull KR fans. They are sat on possibly the best potential half back in the northern hemisphere, and don't even seem to want to push his development. But they believe they will go for ours.

The McLelland to HKR story was put up by Nosey Parker in League Weekly and thus needed to be taken with more than a pinch of salt even before Craig Harrison said he hadn't spoken to HKR.

That fountain of knowledge in reality is a fountain of poop.

Trawl a few sites, put 2 + 2 together to make 9 then add in a splash of made up nonsense and hallelujah a few "rumours" job done.

Confirmed Mclelland 12 month loan only to Hull kr for 2020. seems its a a case of lets see what you can do week in week out for 12 months, if he cannot force himself into the Hull KR side then he is probably finished at Leeds.

Interesting one that, I was looking forward to seeing him get a run - have these season long loans ever worked out for us?

But it must mean we have another half lined up.

Richie Mathers at Warrington, Nick scuton paul mcshane at hull. Mard calderwood went somewhere. so yeah no they have not. suspect he is not developing as we hoped and a year long loan to try and force his way into HUll kr side will tell us if he is good enough or not.

None of those players were on season long loans, which is what he said. They were all on normal loans, and in the case of Mathers and McShane they were not even in the first team squad at the time. I don't think Calderwood was a loan anywhere, but Ablett was a season long loan I think at London and would have been the best example to use.

Where is this confirmed anyway? still have my doubts.

Confirmed where? Link?

Luke Thompson is on 150 games since 18, the Burgess twins have been playing NRL since 20. If big Mick is gonna kick on and be one of our main props we need to play him.

Well he has Tony Smith and Danny McGuire to mentor him ,I think they will bring him on

I get what people are saying if Callum is loaned to HKR about coaching, but what that really says to me is that we believe more in another clubs coaches than in ours when it comes to player development...

Or more likely that he just won't get to platy enough with Leeds. I still think its odd even if we bring in another halfback unless Lui/Myler are willing to play reserve grade.

Briscoe gone for the season with an ACL injury, shame as he's been going OK, the other Briscoe will probably cover for tge rest of the Season, Konrad also a doubt for Friday which is a bigger loss.

RFL disciplinary must have had a busy day as they have usually announced their findings before now, will be interesting how many get cited but Tomkins and McLlorem must surely be out?

Aaron Bower has retweeted a French journalist's tweet which translates as "At least 5 suspended for @DragonsOfficiel before challenging Leeds"

We shall see.

Serves them right

https://www.superleague.co.uk/article/9 ... y-round-24 Could be without 5 if Edwards gets a ban, Tomkins 3 games https://www.superleague.co.uk/article/9 ... y-round-24

Catalans have been weekened by the bans and injuries aswell. We need to capitalise on this and punish them. This shouldn’t be close, but knowing Leeds style they like to take the foot off the gas. Must win.

if you don't win this game now they have players banned you do deserve to go down

Don't you be worrying about us and relegation snowie just concentrate on the Trin's relegation battle and hope that London don't win another game before you meet on the final day

They have less missing than the last time we played them, which even then was less than they had missing against various sides the other month.

They have some big lads and talent, especially in the backs, and some thugs in the Pack, with Evil Edna and Mental Micky out theres still Brekyerlegs Bird. Kassiano looked to be struggling and Tomkins chiming in brings a lot of their points so fingers crossed.

Williame, Tomkins, McIlorum, Simon, Edwards, Batieri, Broughton, Moa, Tierney are some huge losses for Catalan and they’ll have to shift their squad around considerably.

Romano Mead Langi Yaha
Bird Smith
Bousquet Da Costa Kasiano

Goudmand Julien Albert Maria

Hazard a guess at their squad.

Just been told that Bousquet, Yaha and Kasiano also picked up knocks and may miss Friday.

With Catalans missing around 10 players we need to capitalise and take these two points just over a month ago we outplayed then at headingley so we should be able to do it again.

Unfortunate T.Brsicoe is out for season he's been one of our consistent players this year and had some good performances. I wouldn't risk Hurrell he was still in a boot yesterday and I think we have enough to beat Catalans without him with all there absentees so I rather save Hurrell for rest of our fixtures and hopefully Ward returns for this one and can get some minutes and help our pack out back end of season.
