Looks like. Mom injured ?

I'd put Ruan in over Donaldson though

I think we'll see Rhyse back at Centre for this one with Momirovski missing I'd personally go for

Miller
Roberts
Newman
Martin
Handley
Croft
Frawley
Oledzki
Ackers
Goudemand
Bentley
Mcdonnell
Smith

Subs

Holroyd
O'Connor
Sangare
Ruan

Ruan has showed us last couple of weeks he is developing into a very handy player in back row or middle be poor selection from Rohan if he put Donaldson back in and halt Ruan's development who offers more than Donno imo.

Not a great start to momorivski's Leeds stint, missed a good chunk of pre season, poor in the games he's played and injured already

Our luck with wingers and centres continues

He was poor the first half last week but other than that he’s been solid, not setting the world alight but not done much wrong.

People seemed to be too focused on how players/ team attack and nothing else.

I imagine Smith will go with Martin. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Momirovksi's been playing with some sort of problem. Might explain why he's been quiet.

Definitely agree that Ruan should keep his spot. If the likes of Ruan and TNW take their chances when they get them, there really isn't a place for Donaldson in the 17 under any reasonable circumstances.

Agreed Mom's been poor so far. Needs to offer something in attack as we have seen nothing in that area from him so far.

Yeah it's a coincidence his winger has scored 7 tries, I'm sure

Given his lack of pre season Momorivski being injured isn't ideal, he needs plenty of game time. Thought he did well second half last week so this is a blow for the player and the team. Do we know what the Injury is ??

This is what i would go for too

Another proving my point, another who's attack focused, he did make more metres than Newman against Leigh off less carries, and got a try assist, do we need to see more from Newman too?

The team announcement just said 'minor injury' and there wasn't any mention of it in Rohan's press conference

He was reasonably poor first half against Leigh is it possible he's been dropped?

The only problem with playing Goudemand and Bentley together in the starting 13 is mass; we can't afford to lose the early collisions. I think Goudemand is a better bench middle or starting second row personally. I'd go:

Miller
Roberts, Newman, Martin, Handley
Croft, Frawley
Mik, Ackers, Holroyd
Bentley, McDonnell
Smith

Goudemand, Sangare, Ruan, O'Connor.

Mom hasn't been bad by any stretch, missed alot of pre season and one of many new players.
Will take time to settle like most do that come over from aus

Don't think they can bring in McCormack against Saints, so has to be Martin in the centre with Bentley taking the available 2nd row spot. Ruan should keep Donaldson out.

Just hopeful of an 80 minute performance and no sin bins.

Off the top of my head his only assist for any of Ash's tries was once in the game against Leigh

Mom hasn't been that bad at all. He is a quality player he just needs time to bed in and find a groove, maybe when not playing in near freezing temperatures. We haven't seen him get into space yet but he should have some toe too.

Mom still finding his way in a new team and I'm sure we'll see what he can doin attack soon.Some players take longer to settle than others I remember when Senior signed for Leeds in his first few outings he was awful.I would definitely keep Ruan in over Donno.If Donno plays he will be holding back a future player and that for mine doesn't make sense.

Think you’re underestimating the other work he does, it’s not just about assists. Him and ash seem to have a great working relationship, especially in defence.

Not sure i can remember a try scored against our left hand side?

They also switch positions a lot depending on the flow of the game. He’s not been flashy but not nearly as bad as some are saying.

I too am a Mom fan Chris but he was pretty poor first half against Leigh I thought; couple of errors.

I'm not worried about him though, you don't play NRL first grade for the sides he has and for that long without being decent.

He wasn’t alone in being rubbish in that first half

So I’m not actually too confident about Friday… think we’ll miss Fus and Lisone in this one.

Having Sam back for the Cup game the week after will be good. Looking forward to seeing Bentley and McDonnell team up if RS goes that way.

Just hope Donaldson isn't ahead of others.

He's been poor, zero attacking threat, a few obvious mistakes and a few where he's gave the pass way too early without committing his man.

Decent defensively, but overall poor so far, emphasis on so far, which is what my original post stated...Unless you think him missing a good chunk of pre season, including all friendlys, his performances so far on the field and being injured 4 games into the season, represents a good start to his Leeds stint?

If so then people really are easily pleased
