As Come On You Ull has said, Raynor and King were in the squad last time we won at Headingley. With the biggest game of the season coming up a few days later I could see us resting some e.g. Sneyd. The problem is we could really do with the points as it looks like 6 in the mix for a play off spot now and our points difference won't do us any favours in the event of a tie. Would be a shame to miss out on Top 5 now, albeit many of us never really expected to be in this position.

Any news on the injury list - Kelly, Ellis, Savelio, Griffin etc?

I'd freshen things up a bit and bring in the likes of Lane and Brown.

Hopefully the injured players mentioned above will be back,allowing us to rest some of the backrow, who are looking tired.

Should be winning this one, but our erratic form and record at Leeds doesn't fill me with confidence

Leeds fans have always had it as 2 points cert before the game. Would love to shut that up.

Realistically this is a game we should be winning but how many times have we said that before and then turned in a lack lustre performance.
Rovers were good in their victory last night and I'd expect more of the same from us next week.
Top 5 is crucial for me and I would not look at resting players for the cup. League points are more valuable then putting all our eggs in a cup basket, especially with positions 3 to 5 being so tight. I'd rather be in the grand final hunt this season.
I'm expecting a victory, non of this hoodo bollox, this is our best chance of a victory at Headingly with Leeds being so poor.
Again all depends on which Hull side turns up though doesn't it.

So glad we don’t have to wait for squad news before we post our opinions

Think we might win this one. Leeds played awful last night and can't see them playing as bad next week. Saying that we due a win. COYH

Seriously
If we don’t win this then LR can do one

After last nights Rovers game Phil Clarke said Leeds need to work on their attack. They scored 4 tries but conceded 6. I hope they listen to his advice and don’t worry about the defence.

would resist resting anybody! after the second half performance last thursday, the players need to show they can improve

with wigan, cas and catalan breathing down our necks, a top 3 finish could become trickier if we send a weakened squad and lose!

fwiw, resting players doesnt always work! remember our 2017 semi final v leeds? leeds rested the vast majority of their squad the week before.......

Totally agree, while the cup game is another target, the position we finish in the playoffs “hopefully” is paramount. Try and finish as high as possible, then the week after next, focus on a Wembley return.

Come on yu ullaaa.

I wouldn't risk Kelly (and possibly Ellis). It all depends how "fit" he really is.

I'll be much more confident if Kelly plays in the semi, like a few on here I don't see Connor as a standoff.

If Albert is fit, he can play in both matches.

Agreed. I'm worried about Griffin though - been excellent this term.

Looking at his Instagram, Kelly has walked to the top of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh so I guess he's OK.

He can walk 500 miles

I thought he went off for a head knock/cut, I'm sure I saw the green and white card being waved, but maybe it was for some else.
Other reports do suggest lower leg problems.

Can see us saving kelly for the semi , didn’t play Thursday because of his hamstring again , was rushed back too early against saints . Should be winning this but not confident with us having 1 eye on the semi and Leeds improving on last night .

Depends which Hull turns up. There again, if the Leeds from yesterday turn up we should be fine. Been saying it for a while, they look the worst team in the league on those performances. Even the panic signings haven’t greatly improved them.
Have a feeling we’ll have one eye on the semis though.

announcer said it was for a head assessment so hopefully he will be fine for leeds

This is where we have issues. When we could do with resting players we dont have the depth at the minute, its either very young lads who arnt quite ready or nothing.

No trusted backup hooker, no trusted backup halfback, same goes for the incnsistency, we rarely drop players on form as due to injurys theres never any effective backup.

Hopefully change next season where we look well stocked in the backs and second row

Need depth at hooker and the props next year too

I agree about the hooking point, but not on the halves. We have 3 very good ones IMO. We don't have depth at the minute you say, but we have Kelly, Ellis, Matongo, Lane and Savelio out. I personally don't think many clubs run with big enough quality numbers to actively rest players on a regular basis. Saints for example rested a few and lost to London.

Like i said due to injurys we dont have effective backup

My point is more towards players around the 20,21,22 age range who can come in and do a good job when the likes of savelio, ellis and lane are out

Im hoping the reserve league taking off properly next season sorts this out and the young players get more experiance.

So manu and mini are injured right now, who plays?

Westerman and ellis injured who plays?

Faraimo and ratu injured who plays?

Hougton injured who plays?

Il take it back about halfback, as yes we have connor, sneyd and kelly, whos next in line as our upcoming halfbacks?

… well we've managed with 33 different players this season.

He went off for a hia but had gone down earlier with what looked like an ankle problem when they scored one of their tries
