Don't expect a quick getaway to motorway Leeds united are at home tonight 7-45 ko.

Spring Road is always a good spot for me ....though I leave a few mins before end on midweek games and sprint out as I have a long drive back and can't afford to wait !

Can't see any other result than a comfy win for you guys, at home, short turnaround and us have a few too many key players out, I know you have too but you have a better squad (due to your youngsters) to cope more with injuries.

I thought the same v Catalan, so I won't be counting my chickens. I would hope to get back to 50% after 8 games with our fixtures though.

I think it all depends on whether Jake Connor can be bothered to play, if he does we'll have a tough time.

If we can't get him in space with our half backs being out, then it will be irrelevant

Won't he be one of your halfbacks?

Too many out for Hull tonight

McIntosh
Tuimavave
Scott
Reynolds
Gale
Mau
Taylor
Lane

Too many key positions under strength

More accurate to say it will depend if his admittedly impressive trickery in making plays outweigh his poor defensive reads

That's my thinking/ hope too. If our attack clicks like it did for the 50 minutes at Wakey I think we'll win by 16 or so

He can always be bothered to play, can't fault his effort, in fact tries to hard at times and get frustrated, which isn't surprising the last couple of years and playing with some of the pivots we have had.

I can certainly fault is effort against Greg Eden



All joking aside he's a class player but I find him a bit frustrating as he seems to get distracted by trying to be a wind up merchant.

Glad to see Johnson start as Marty said. Oh how I only wish for an actual prop or 2 on the bench instead of 2 middles.

Johnson starts - hope he can take his chance!

only 3 big men yet again, all shattered after 50 minutes.
virtually every week the same

Middles, a player that’s not big enough to be a prop, or fast / skilful enough to be a back rower.

Briscoe again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Won't be many tries from the centres tonight.
Broadbent should be playing .

Sounds pretty similar to the definition I had.

It's this that I find frustrating. Playing Briscoe/Sutcliffe in the centres and not enough in the prop department week after week expecting something to change.
Then,when it doesn't, talk vaguely about pedigree and such

Depends on your definition, Wayne Pearce, Marc Glanville, classic middles, no ball playing 13’s, arguably Ellery as well. Props are not just defined on size, some of the best props were not big even by standards of the day. Kurt Sorenson, les Boyd, Andy Platt, same as some very big lads were useless dollops. Prop requires a certain style of play in any era not just size

Should be red that, not a fan of players milking it, but Walker stays down its red

Hull player staying down, here we go

Yup.

The distribution from dummy half is already a million miles better....

Walker throwing himself on the floor rather than try to tackle Connor, soft try.
