I doubt it will be simple or short, not many opportunities for full sermons left.

Surely he will tell the team the tale of the wooden horse of Toulouse where Noah put the animals in 2 by 2 and a giant panda blew a trumpet on the road to Demascus to knock the walls of Jerimethingymebob down this week of all weeks. He really knows his religious stuff does Jonesy.

2 more weeks of him and counting.

Genius! Are you not another disciple then? I’ve heard Jonesy refer to himself as a prophet. No ego there!

Regardless, I'd still like the team to manage a win during his stint

Hopefully Broadbent gets a game and we see a little more of Simpson/Sinfield if we have to

I don't understand not naming 21 unless someone comes in at the last minute? They might not be ready (or in some cases way off the standard), but we do have a reserve team.

Maybe there's mileage in the Hardaker on short term loan rumour?

This is an elite sporting club and inability to name a 21 man squad is really poor.

If we named a 21 man squad and then brought a player on loan, he wouldn’t be available unless we swapped a player out, which would mean losing an interchange in the game.

I think there have been previous examples of teams naming an initial squad that was a player short pending the possible registration of a new signing (loan or otherwise). Leeds could easily have named an academy player or even an injured player (I've seen that happen a lot in the Championship) so it's more likely to be a deliberate choice pending a possible signing. If you ask to make a change to a 21-man squad after it's been named I think you lose an interchange.

Needed to be in the squad given to the rfl by 12pm today, nothing announced by the club as of yet.

Swap broadbent and Sutcliffe and I think that’s what we’ll see

Oh and Briscoe for Mellor

I’d guess both Briscoe and Mellor will be in somewhere going on past selections and both experienced players.

Keep the effort up tonight, cut the silly penalties and we should win tonight. Its a must win but not the end of the world if we don’t but it makes the climb out of the hole lot harder.

How’s it a must win them?

Its not a must win, there's plenty of games to get away from the bottom of the table.

However I hope the players think its a must win and come away with the 2 points, its highly needed

Jesus wept. It will be one of best wins in recent history with that team out….

I can easily see Toulouse winning this. They have struggled away from home but they've given some good teeams a run for their money, not to mention beating Sts. Sts may have been taking the mick a bit but I don't think we could beat them if they did that against us. Certainly not with the available squad.

I'd go Mellor centre and Briscoe on the wing. But that pack is depleted so Mellor might be needed there..

The situation we find ourselves in at the moment means it’s not ideal to play too many kids all at once. I like Tindall, think he will be a good winger in a couple of years, and he needs to play regularly to improve, but could we afford him wandering in off the wing tonight?

Who’d be a coach…

Isn't Tindell injured ?.

Agree,though.

Over the years we seem to have loaned a lot of players out .
Would be nice if that coukd be reciprocated.

I’l rephrase its an important win. We lose and its just a right dog fight to avoid relegation. Win and pressure off a bit and we can look at moving up the table for next 2/3rds season.

No bollox its a must win.

Agreed
