Probably more to do with Leeds not wanting them to play against their team mates, I reckon.

To be fair Cas had less of a turn around against Saints. It's just something all teams have to live with time to time and comes with the territory of having Thursday night games.

Walker
L Briscoe Watkins Hurrell Handley
Sutcliffe Myler
Peteru Dwyer Singleton
Smith Donaldson
Merrin

Parcell JJB Oledzki Holroyd

Either that or Lolohea comes back in and Sutcliffe goes into SR replacing Donaldson.

lolohea didn't play at catalans due to another bust up at training apparently refused to play in same team as singleton,Briscoe and singleton should be dropped for cas game give Newman chance on wing furner should be given another 4 games max if no up turn should be gone if we get beaten against cas and other results go against us were in serious trouble

Exactly, Wigan v Catalan and London v Huddersfield are pivitol next weekend, especially with the game in hands coming up in three weeks.

Don’t think you would say that if saw today’s game.

The words Melt and Down spring readily to mind

Don't think he's the answer, tbh. In any case, I suspect he'll be frozen out until he goes voluntarily or his contract expires unless there are managerial changes.

What I would do is give Tui a shot at FB and keep Sutcliffe and Myler in the halves. Nothing against Walker but we need to screw every inch we can out of this squad performance-wise right now. Maybe Lolohea can add a few percentage points? I'd try it for a couple of games, see what happens, though inevitably not all will agree.

Lolohea could be good at fullback but only if he gets fit.

why???? you all moan about walkers defence but want a fat, one paced, lazy player who can't tackle there!!!
but he can pass so that's ok.i give up

He wouldn't be fat if he got fit. I'm not suggesting he's better than Walker, but he does have a very good pass on him. Both have strengths and issues.

Walker had some nice touches against Catalans, but looked a bit exposed when some of the high kicks went up. His form has been up and down this season, but unless he's injured I don't think it's fair to replace him with Lolohea.

Assuming this can be worked in terms of interchanges, Lolohea might be useful as a sub to cover a number of positions in the backline and inject something different in attack if needed. But then we'd probably have to go without one of Dwyer/Parcell, which might nullify other attacking options.

Whoever we do pick, we need to start seeing MoM performances from some Leeds players in coming weeks. We are getting enough position and posession to win games.
Whilst I still think our forwards need improvement to make us silverware contenders again, the depressing thing has been how exposed our back line has looked.
Again another very interesting selection ahead.

Lolohea on the bench might be a smart call. It’s a case of evolving that squad until it works.

Set tui a weight target and only play him if he keeps to it .full time training and set diet should see him improve he s only young and the pace will come back and his confidence will increase.
When cuthbo and Garbo came the trainers got the pounds of them..

Yes but you’ve got to question the mentality of any pro RL player who isn’t in prime condition.

It’s not like the lad wouln’t have been told this before.

I hope he can sort himself but we don’t have all the time in the world here. I also wonder if there is an ongoing issue with the knee he injured last year. Something’s not right with his pace.

Brett Ferres cops a two match ban.

should have been 4

All this POSITIVE talk garbage. And it is garbage! Give me an ugly / lucky win and play negative rather than losing (by 4 pts or 24 pts) anyday of the week and twice on Sundays! Furner is $hit and most of the players play with hardly any confidence and/or have no belief. Stop blowing smoke up Furners a$$ I say, it's not his money who forks out for travel/season tickets.

Why Hetherington is letting this comedian of a "manager" keep his place is beyond me!!

He's been here over 4 months, you'd think with full time training and being 23 he'd have made a dent on the problem by now.

do you think we can appeal and get it increased?

Not a fan then?

Anyway if anything can be learnt from reading this forum for a fair few years is, writing a coach off after only a few games into his term doesn't always age well

Ash Handley top of the league(try scoring)and having a laugh......At a lot of people in here!!!

Ash will know he's under scrutiny for his future at Leeds and is having a dig. Everyone said that whoever plays outside Hurrell should have a field day: although his intercept try against Cats was very nice (and crucial at the time, it was that or they were in).

Ideally we could do with a more complete winger who has some x-factor and better defence, but to be top of the try scoring charts in the bottom of the table side must say something.
