Yes but you’ve got to question the mentality of any pro RL player who isn’t in prime condition.

It’s not like the lad wouln’t have been told this before.

I hope he can sort himself but we don’t have all the time in the world here. I also wonder if there is an ongoing issue with the knee he injured last year. Something’s not right with his pace.

Brett Ferres cops a two match ban.

should have been 4

All this POSITIVE talk garbage. And it is garbage! Give me an ugly / lucky win and play negative rather than losing (by 4 pts or 24 pts) anyday of the week and twice on Sundays! Furner is $hit and most of the players play with hardly any confidence and/or have no belief. Stop blowing smoke up Furners a$$ I say, it's not his money who forks out for travel/season tickets.

Why Hetherington is letting this comedian of a "manager" keep his place is beyond me!!

He's been here over 4 months, you'd think with full time training and being 23 he'd have made a dent on the problem by now.

do you think we can appeal and get it increased?

Not a fan then?

Anyway if anything can be learnt from reading this forum for a fair few years is, writing a coach off after only a few games into his term doesn't always age well

Ash Handley top of the league(try scoring)and having a laugh......At a lot of people in here!!!

Ash will know he's under scrutiny for his future at Leeds and is having a dig. Everyone said that whoever plays outside Hurrell should have a field day: although his intercept try against Cats was very nice (and crucial at the time, it was that or they were in).

Ideally we could do with a more complete winger who has some x-factor and better defence, but to be top of the try scoring charts in the bottom of the table side must say something.

The way Walker backed off several high kicks and let them bounce is a major concern.

Several? You mean one? nothing like blowing out of proportion is there.

Lolohea in at 6 for JJB after initial fireworks, Sutcliffe to second row on rotation with Merrin and JJB. Maybe. Suspect though it will be same side as last week except Sutcliffe replaces Ferres and Tui straight in at 6.

Lolohea said of his move from the Warriors, "I was overweight. I was unhappy. I was struggling. Playing reserve grade on the wing probably didn't help

Tackling like my gran doesn't help either.

For me, It’ll be Donaldson > Ferres straight swap. Newman and Lolohea dropping out.

Cas' right hand side defence (& attack) his poor. I am disappointed they didn't strengthen in that area. If Leeds have a chance it is down there.

Donaldson does ten mins a game how will he do eighty with the rest of pack getting mullered

Honestly I think Cas made a big mistake not bringing in more quality after 2017. Never replaced Hardaker properly and - I know there are budgets - just not pushed on again. They're a well-coached side but Leeds are a great example of resting on your laurels when you think you've got it cracked, it can go wrong quite quickly!

So how many points are we going to concede tomorrow ?
Is Over 50+ on the cards

I think the lads will surprise us tomorrow and only lose by 20.

I'm more than happy with Matautia at FB. He's no Zak, but no-one else in SL is. However a right hand side of Minikin & Clare is pee weak. Webster's body defied logic for a number of seasons, we should have replaced him with quality. I think we will play Alex Foster there to try & defend against Hurrell which might backfire positionally & dent our attack.

JSL could have an absolute field day running wide against us.

Suppose there are a couple of ways to look at it but we're due a league win against Cas and a could be the shot in the arm we need so I'm hoping for the best...

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst
