Austins is in the squad which would be a huge boost.

No Tetevano.

What's up with him?

The squad in full is:

1 Richie Myler
4 Nene MacDonald
5 Ash Handley
6 Blake Austin
8 Mikolaj Oledzki
11 James Bentley
12 Rhyse Martin
13 Cameron Smith
14 Jarrod O’Connor
16 Derrell Olpherts
17 Justin Sangare
18 Tom Holroyd
19 James McDonnell
21 Luke Hooley
22 Sam Walters
23 Liam Tindall
24 Luis Roberts
25 James Donaldson
26 Corey Johnson
31 Leon Ruan
34 Alfie Edgell

Is Lisone also still injured?

Seems weird no Tetevano as had 3 weeks rest.

Yeah, calf injury, said he would be 4 weeks

Tetevano out indefinitely with a personal health concern.

Hes had plenty of stick but hope he’s ok and gets whatever it is sorted.

Seconded.

Id go (if Austin is fit)

Hooley
Handley
Martin
Mcdonald
Olpherts
Austin
Myler
Oledski
Oconner
Holroyd
Bentley
Macdonell
Smith

Walters
Sangare
Donaldson/ruan
Johnson

That should be enough to get over the tigers

Myler
Handley
Martin
Macdonald
Olpherts
Austin
Johnson
Walters
O'connor
Holroyd
Bentley
Mcdonnell
Smith

Donaldson
Sangare
Oledzki
Ruan (but guess RS will carry a back on the bench)

Or if theres faith in hooley then myler in the halves Johnson on the bench.

If everyone is fit to play who's been named in the 17 I'd personally go for

1. Hooley
2. Macdonald
3. Martin
4. Handley
5. Olpherts
6. Austin
7. Myler
8. Oledzki
9. O'Connor
10. Holroyd
11. Bentley
12. Mcdonnell
13. Smith


14. Walters
15. Sangare
16. Donaldson/ Ruan
17. Johnson

I'd like to see Hooley get another chance he got thrown in at our worst fixture of the year against HKR in horrendous conditions and playing him at full back is least disruption for our spine I think. I wouldn't mind seeing Ruan get a few games in as well maybe for Walters or Donaldson who are more than likely won't be with us in the near future.

I also wouldn't be surprised though if Rohan Carried Liam Tindall or Luis Roberts on bench to help cover injuries that could potentially happen.

Marcus Griffiths is the video ref for this one. The RFL do have a sense of humour after all.

With the Sezer injury being long term, I’d rather give Hooley a run with myler in the halves. Let’s Johnson continue to get game time in his proper position.

Having said that, maybe we make do this week then sinfield gets a run for the next few games.

Hooley had his chance and f(kd it. Tindall surely should be in before him and Olpherts.

One game in awful conditions career done, harsh. What's tindall done bar make meters sideways?

I’d prefer to play Roberts over Tindall based on the fact they’re a similar age but Roberts will be here next year.

Agreed. If Tindall was by far the better player then he should be picked even if he is leaving. But he's not, he's an OK reserve winger. I see no point in picking him ahead of someone who will be here next season and would benefit from the experience.

I wouldn't say coming in cold, in atrocious conditions in a game where we were absolute pony is quite "F'd it" personally.
Hes going to have to have a solid game though to come into contention for a run in the side however.

Hooley was bought to be given the chance to move up a level , he needs more than one game to see how he goes .
Mylet to scrum half as that’s what he is , if not very reliable one .

The more I see of Tindall, the less I think he has what it takes to make it as a SL winger. He's just not athletic or big enough. I have no idea what his finishing skills are like because he is rarely in a position in which he looks like scoring. The try against Wigan was very much scored when the game was gone, although he took it well. We've let players go who have shown more in the first team, e.g. Broadbent - and look at how Briscoe is going at Leigh (no, I don't want him back).

Leeds need players who are capable of much more strike in the backs - solid is not good enough in this position if we want to get back to the top. Younger wingers ought to be making try scoring break throughs like Cummins, BJB, Hardaker, Calderwood, Hall etc. Handley was scoring regularly at the start of his career too, even though he was in several relegation faced teams.

Tindall's strike rate isn't just about finishing, its also about getting himself into positions where he can score, even if it means coming infield. All the best wingers have that hunger to score tries, and his record suggests he just doesn't. Roberts may not be as good as a genuine wing, but he can also play centre.

Smith signed both Hooley and Roberts - if they don't get picked when we're down to the bones you'd have to wonder what the point was? Personally I'd like nothing more than to see Hooley play and have a blinder, just because I think the stick he got from the KR game was really harsh on someone who wasn't match fit, played in a team that gave him no protection, and in horrible conditions. He had a mare, but so did a few others.

Handley will be playing full-back. The position he is likely to be playing in the longer term.

Nene, Roberts, Martin, and Olpherts will make up the rest of the back 5.

Tindall and Olpherts on the same side?!

Same team, same side, makes no difference.
