Think we will see a squad mixture of first team and the fringe players. Not expecting much from this as Featherstone don’t look the same as they have in previous years and won’t have chance to use DR in this game.

I would be leaving players out of this who might feature against Warrington - so minus Oledzski, Cam Smith. Dupree in for Oledzski and Spence in for Smith should do.
Might also be tempted to play Corey Johnson for the full 80 and save Brad Dwyer (or have Brad on the bench).
I'd have Liam Sutcliffe in the centre. Maybe also give JJB and/or Ablett a run out as well?

To be fair when you list a squad like this which would be competitive in the lower division, it does prompt again why we don't just run a reserve team and why Leeds have been against it. Many of these players are over Academy age but IMO need to be playing every week and within Leeds' systems.
It would also give us a chance to test existing Academy players at a higher level if needs be. Holroyd for example is going to gain little from trampling over 17 year olds for the next year.

Did you hear the podcast by Cameron Smith on Dual Reg and Reserve sides? Pretty much the over riding opinion in the game. However, goes against Hetherington view. I will leave at that as to the merits.

Are the teams going to swap players at half time?

And if so, can selected ones be permanent?

Young team. Going to be a very tough ask.

Is Tyler Dupree currently injured ?
Good to see McLelland in the squad.

Featherstone are our reserve team. On a serious note I think the best solution could be for the big clubs who produce players (Leeds and Wigan) to run a reserve team that plays in the Championship.

Match highlights on club website. Holroyd again looked great, he must have forced his way into the fringes of the first team squad now. Fullback Witton looks good as well, stong Fev side as well.

Good to see how many tries were scored from ball being passed instead of kicked. Both teams.

Good all round defensive display against a much bigger side coming down hill first half. Also Thaler with some harsh decisions kept Featherstone at our end. My opinion Josh Walters had a very good game with Holroyd and several others also very good. McClelland looks a good prospect as well, future looks good with this lot. Poorly supported though even allowing for another very blustery and cold day.

We need to get these kids through. Simple as that!

Joe Burton is going to have a big year in 19s I think
