28 points should be enough to make the play offs. So 4 wins from 5 is definitely tough, but it's doable.

I'd imagine Smith will be in the halves today which concerns me as he's more likely to just shift the ball on or go sideways rather than engage the defence. Either that or he goes with Martin in the halves and Harry and Roberts are in the centres, looking at the training photos and who's wearing the pink vests this looks more likely.

Fusi injured again ?

Looks like RS is going with

Hooley
Olpherts
Roberts
Newman
Handley
Martin
Sezar

Oledski
Oconnor
Holroyd
Walters
Bentley
Smith

Ruan
Donaldson
Lisone
Gannon

We'll do well to get anything with that line up.

Olpherts redemption arc starts here…hopefully.

I’m glad Ruan is getting a game though. I think there’s potential there.

That team looks awful.

Down to barebones again.

When you look at that you can maybe see where Milnes might make sense. Pretty much last three seasons we’ve consistently had to resort to crazy Half back fill ins, whether that’s Leeming, Smith, Johnson, Gannon or Martin.

It’d be nice to play an actual halfback there.

Fusitua looking god for a new contract too

You're asking a bit much, olpherts couldn't keep hold of the ball in the reserves last week.

That edge if Olpherts and Roberts scares me.

No fusi again?

Think our play off hopes end today to be honest, hope they prove me wrong

To be honest Seth I assumed he was done. I didn’t even think he was in the squad. I was surprised to see his name and I hope he can continue to surprise by having a serviceable game.

If Fus hasn’t signed that new contract we should be taking a long hard look at his injury record.

One part of ability is availability.

I know he had a few more bad games than Hooley, but I for one would be happy if Olpherts could turn things around. I don't think he will, but I hate to see a player go through what he has.

Fusitu'a has played less games than he's missed I think?

Always the problem with fusi.
He will only play 50% of games,most of which seem to be in the summer

Newman HIA after 2 mins. Gannon on.

Poor Newman

Bentley down, looks serious going to be stretchered off

Newman passed hia

Im not one for blaming refs but that’s two trys that shouldn’t have been given. We need VR at every game

Just wondering if this is the something special that Ash Handley was referring to?

We just can’t seem to string a performance together can we? Why is that? It’s been going on when we had the first choice pack and halves available so I don’t think it’s to do with the players alone.

Commentary on radio Leeds being very harsh on Bentley. Basically saying his own fault…..

Is Sinfield really garbage?
I can't understand why we don't play a stand -off in the stand-off position and instead move evryone else about to accommodate Martin at Stand-off

Nowhere near ready apparently. Think everyone hoping a late bloomer. But agree, at this moment in time must be pretty poor not to get a game…..

Late bloomer? He’s 18!

Any way good fight back lovely try by Handley from great work by Lisone.

12-16
