I get the impression a lot of people are underestimating Merrin. personally, I thought he showed some good glimpses for a first hit out and I read somewhere he played with a chest infection. he will bring much-needed leadership and added steel to the pack. I do agree we need a meter crunching prop but I get the impression we are going to go with what we have and bring in a big signing in 2020. like Wire with Widdop.

Totally Agree with Harrigan regarding Ward he was immense along with the introduction of Oledzki and Cuthbo at the back end of the first half on Sunday that's when we really improved and looked a much better side.

Brown's injury can't help Wire's cause especially if Ratchford fills in in the halves. Not convinced by Patton either.

I also think maybe hope is a better word that playing Wigan before the WCC might help as any niggles they might pick up the week before may mean they rest a player or two.
Lets face it I doubt very much SOL will play against us so that's one !

Dabbling with my fantasy league and Leeds is a tricky one, you seem to have signed extremely well. Hurrell is in my team but costs an absolute fortune. Will Liam Sutcliffe feature, i saw he played second row in a recent friendly?

He will do but how often, in what position and to what effect is anyone's guess. I'd save your fantasy dosh.

Thanks HRS
