I can see the thinking behind this selection. Newman isn't a "winger's centre" and it won't do him any harm to swap to wing a little bit.
Sutcliffe's opportunities at back row look limited and so maybe covering centre/FB/half will be his thing.. again..
Dwyer and Myler benched and Agar will want to see how they respond.
Good to see big Mik and Cam Smith in the starting side - everyone's hoping both can step up a gear this year.
A Sutcliffe and Muizz look to be the next in line from the younger ones then.
Would imagine Myler will come on and replace Gale at some point, with it being Gale's first competitive game in an age.

But he’s contracted until the end of 2021 so he’s not in his last year just yet.

So if there was an approach either Leeds turned it down or Sutty did. I have doubts on this due to Adam Pearson saying he would never do a deal with Leeds after the signing of Brisco.

I suppose he’d now be dealing with Sinfield rather than Hetherington.

But then Adam Pearson says a lot of things that turn out to be nonsense soon after.

I only passed on what a family member said.

but briscoe was out of contract so really its pearson doing what he does best.
