Can see us saving kelly for the semi , didn’t play Thursday because of his hamstring again , was rushed back too early against saints . Should be winning this but not confident with us having 1 eye on the semi and Leeds improving on last night .

Depends which Hull turns up. There again, if the Leeds from yesterday turn up we should be fine. Been saying it for a while, they look the worst team in the league on those performances. Even the panic signings haven’t greatly improved them.
Have a feeling we’ll have one eye on the semis though.

announcer said it was for a head assessment so hopefully he will be fine for leeds

This is where we have issues. When we could do with resting players we dont have the depth at the minute, its either very young lads who arnt quite ready or nothing.

No trusted backup hooker, no trusted backup halfback, same goes for the incnsistency, we rarely drop players on form as due to injurys theres never any effective backup.

Hopefully change next season where we look well stocked in the backs and second row

Need depth at hooker and the props next year too

I agree about the hooking point, but not on the halves. We have 3 very good ones IMO. We don't have depth at the minute you say, but we have Kelly, Ellis, Matongo, Lane and Savelio out. I personally don't think many clubs run with big enough quality numbers to actively rest players on a regular basis. Saints for example rested a few and lost to London.

Like i said due to injurys we dont have effective backup

My point is more towards players around the 20,21,22 age range who can come in and do a good job when the likes of savelio, ellis and lane are out

Im hoping the reserve league taking off properly next season sorts this out and the young players get more experiance.

So manu and mini are injured right now, who plays?

Westerman and ellis injured who plays?

Faraimo and ratu injured who plays?

Hougton injured who plays?

Il take it back about halfback, as yes we have connor, sneyd and kelly, whos next in line as our upcoming halfbacks?

… well we've managed with 33 different players this season.

He went off for a hia but had gone down earlier with what looked like an ankle problem when they scored one of their tries

In the back row we have options of:
Minichiello
Manu
Savelio
Ellis
Griffin
Westerman
Hadley
Lane
Washbrook

Personally I don't think depth in the back row is a massive issue.

wished I`d seen that,i would have joined him.mind you ,at my age I might have got up the first 10 feet.

lived here since 1968 and still never climbed it.

You’ll jog up it, if we beat the Wire EY

To be honest i dont think we would miss Minichello at the moment if he was out injured.
Manu has one decent game in four.
Looking forward to seeing some some real power and pace in that area next season with a lot more offloading

Is it 12 years since the last win. Leeds have been truly awful for at least 2 seasons and still we haven’t won there. It’s a bit like a derby for Agar, if he and them can’t raise themselves for this game, they deserve to be relegated (if it happens). Heart says convincing win, brain says otherwise. I’ve been to most games there, sat in the Nth. Stand or Carnegie and some of their fans are truly obnoxious. So yes, I to would love the win.

The players should be playing for a semi final place.There should be no strolling around trying to avoid injury.
If Kelly is fit then Connor and Tuimavave in the centres with Josh Griffin starting in the second row and Ellis on the bench with Green ,Bowden,Savelio if fit,or Jordan lane.
No Minichello for me.Innefective and makes too many errors.

What a load of rubbish

thought about doing it today rider(only thought about it)but decided to watch the cricket final instead,anyway it’s raining.

What? The way he spelled ineffective or that Mini has been ineffective? Mini has been a shadow of himself this season and most fans agree he should have retired but the club for reasons known to them chose otherwise

Agree , but to say he’s ineffective is rubbish

Match due to start at 10:45. Weather permitting.

Just tried getting tickets for the match online on the FC website and says adult tickets sold out.

Chris my lad went yesterday to the KC, no problem with our tickets

already settled in the armchair with a couple of bottles of fathom deep dark ale ,rider.

Will pop to KC tomorrow all other concessions available just when selecting adult so hopefully a glitch.

Let’s hope the sun comes out EY
