Whats up with Faz?

Head knock?

At the Hudds game? Think I must have missed that one. Gutted he's not playing.

If thats the team I cant wait to see Finch in action.

Finch



Nice game to make debut in.

The bright white bandage he had on his head for the majority of the game was a bit of a give away

he's fit, just not been selected

Aslong as it's just a rest then fair enough.

He did miss a couple of tackles against Hudds. If I am being hyper critical.

Gutted Faz isn't playing to be honest.

I am worried about our left hand side.

Is he rested or dropped though? He did miss some bad tackles last week but considering the work he does it is hardly surprising as fatigue sets in. If he is rested it seems strange to rest him for the biggest game of the season so far.

Maguire has selected Roberts off the bench which is possibly a back up position if 80 mins is beyond Finch. Sam would go to 6 and Roberts to 1.
We need Lima and Mossop along with Tuson.
As far as Faz is concerned maybe it's just a rest.
Last week he started which is unusual for him.
He'll be back!

Would be surprised if Amos played instead of Faz, but I cant wait to see what Finch can offer us.

If he's been dropped I think it's a shocker tbh after the way the guys played since he came into the team. He missed more tackles in one match on Friday then he did in the whole of last season but he also made 42 and to me the lad should have an arm put round him and be backed to improve this week rather then punished by being left out.

I could see it being a little rest because of him missing a few tackles. He's played in some huge games for such an inexperienced guy and maybe Maguire just feels the times right to give him a week off to refresh for Leeds.

Saying all that this team is basically a rumour anyway so until it's confirmed who knows.

He is only a young man remember. Why risk burning him out?

Give him a week off and reap the rewards against the Rhinos.

That is being quite hyper critical. He missed 3 within a short space of time right after he had his head bandaged up. He looked to be on jelly legs for a few minutes but seemed to recover as the game went on.

Faz's last 2 x games have seen his High standards at the end of last year and start of this slip a little.
I noticed he slipped off a few tackles Friday and didn't quite seem to have that Dynamism that usually sees him involved all over the place in attack and defence.
He din't have a Bad game far from it but he just looked a Touch jaded to me?

Hang on...

I am not saying this is a reason for dropping him. I was only offering it as a "possible" reason.

As far as i am concerned the lad is an absolute gem, who has not put a foot wrong since his debut.

Exactly and that surely must be the reason for him being left out(if he has) rather them him being 'dropped' which would seem a little unfair.

The lads top draw and he'll no doubt be back better then ever.

He's missed 10 tackles this year in 5 games in comparison to 4 tackles in 16 games last season so maybe thats something he's been asked to work on. I know Maguire asked quite a few questions of Mossops defence early last season and he seems to have answeared those.

He was bandaged very early in the game, he was missing tackles much later on. I think the fact he started rather than off the bench may have fatigued him more.
Great player but a rest may do him the world of good.

Correct. He also took a bad head injury too. The lad is clearly getting fatigued - he missed five tackles last week. A weeks rest, freshen up, let the head injury heal and he's fit & firing for Leeds. We have a big squad - why not use it?

Fantastic news that Brett Finch is back. I'm not sure what to expect of him yet. Very excited to see him make his debut though. Roberts on the bench will be cover and should everyone stay fit I think we'll see Roberts move to 1, Sam to 6 with Finch at 7 and Tommy move to hooker to spell McIlorum.

We'll have to use the squad as the season goes on and rotate it a little if we're to keep everyone fresh and happy. The pack especially is log jammed with talent and to keep them all fresh seems to make perfect sense.

Im sure Faz will be back after a weeks rest.

Love that with all our players out we can still afford to rest a player like Faz against Warrington
