Biggest game of thecseadon so far, he to win this one.

Can't see a win though, as not sure where are points are coming from

Leeds have Hardraker, Myler, Austin, Seizer, Leeming and Dwyer compared to Shaul, Lovodua, Hookem, Houghton and Johnstone.

Doesn't look like we will have a new player for Saturday, seems bad planning to release Reynolds and have nothing lined up.

Balmforth has to come in and id also have Griffin at centre, for all his faults at least he can break the line and score a try.

Shaul
Mcintosh
Mitch
Griffin
Wynne
Lovodua
Hookem
Satae
Houghton
Evans
Sao
Mau
Fash

Brown
Taylor
Lane
Balmforth

Good pack with a strong bench, but little creativity or experience at 1, 6, 7 and 9.

Can’t disagree with that 17 Dave and it’s giving the youth an opportunity, plus trying to play safe and going with Johnstone isn’t going to make create anything or give us any attacking threat at all.

Houghton has also got to vary play and his pass direction as he was constantly going to Lovodua rather than using Hookem as well.

That would probably be my side too.
Defence will have to be top notch as we won't score many points.

Big game. But one we can win. COYG.

That would be my team too dave but feel like he will go with with Johnstone at 7 and have a back on the bench possibly Scott who could play second row if needed

Mitch has copped a 2 match ban so presumably Scott in at centre.

Newman banned for Leeds too. Glad he got done for being a gobe

Thompson and Tetevano missing for them too

Makes the most sense.

Two depleted sides, should be another classic

Can't see where our next try is coming from never mind a win, long afternoon coming

Happy with Scott at centre.

Newman out is a big blow for them.

Scott looked good before his injury, really impressed in the Salford game. I hope he gets a chance on Saturday.

Handley possibly out too through injury

If Johnstone play 7, I hope Pearson sacks him on the pitch after full time.

I thought you rated him Dave

Which one Johnstone or Hodgson

Boooooo hisssssss

Well I think it's going to be either Johnstone or Houghton at 7 Personally I wouldn't have either in the 17

He might just be an improvement there than Gale.

So onto sat. What team will it be?

Ask Ellam

That's true

trueman in the cas squad for friday.

Ma'u out for a few weeks.

Hookem will play again which is good news, hooefully trained at 7 this week. McNamara back next week.

I'd go for

Shaul
Mcintosh
Scott
Griffin
Wynne
Lovodua
Hookem
Evans
Houghton
Satae
Lane
Sao
Fash

Taylor
Brown
Balmforth
Severs (but think it will be Johnstone)

Down to bare bones now.

That looks about right but it might be Johnstone and Severs, no Balmforth.

Hodgeson does like loads of hookers but surely he's learned not to overdo it.

Or Griff could cover 2nd Row and we give a debut to Barron. Or Walker could come in. Not the bare bones yet.
