A win that keeps Rohan Smith in a job for another week, then we come up against a London side that are struggling in the super league.

Possibly Newman and Handley back, but Momirovski coped an injury which hopefully isn't too be bad. Lumb has to play again after what was a good performance for him

This won't happen because Rohan Smith doesn't have credentials to do it but I'd want this to be our team for next Friday.

Like I say I highly doubt we'll see the likes of Miller & Frawley dropped but that 17 is still more than good enough to beat London and it would allow our young talent to get a chance and stake a claim for a shirt.

I would consider moving Miller to wing but I wouldn’t drop him. He had MoM performances in him and he needs to play back into form.

I would drop Frawley and give Sinfield an early chance to stake his claim to partner Croft. I’d swap Sangare and Lisone too. Other than that, probably Ned McCormack in for Mom. Maybe Jack Smith but think Ned is a little ahead.

Be interesting to see the attendance for this one. Hopefully plenty turn out but there’s a definite cloud over the club at present

Be a shame if Momirovski is injured, he was probably having his best game for Leeds.
And looked like he was already building a good relationship with Lumb.
He's a good centre for a young winger to be outside.

I also think Roberts is doing pretty well on the wing. He carries well and is a big, strong lad.
Should we give him a go in the centre with Edgell on the wing?

Keep Miller at FB, but he needs to be told to just do the basics, cut out the 7's stuff as it usually ends in mistakes.

And definitely Sinfield for Frawley.
But Smith won't do it.

I don't see much point in bringing in Sinfield if the pack plays like it has in most games and we continue to lack any kind of structure. Sinfield will look as bad as Frawley.

I would go Jack Smith over Ned due to having more size and pace to burn.I thought he did really well in the trial games.

I like Jack Smith, I think he has loads of potential. Amongst all the doom mongering, we do have some talent coming through as we've seen in the friendlies and since.

Its hard to predict the backs until we know if any players will be fit and returning.

No disrespect to Roberts but Lumb should be ahead of him now at winger. He showed more in attack than Roberts has all season and thought he was slightly better with yardage. Roberts seems to always be stopped dead when trucking it out.

Sinfield in for Frawley as at the very minimum, I would expect some of his kicks not to go straight down the back three's throats. I would just emphasise to Sinfield to really focus on his defence and make sure he misses nothing.

From the little I’ve seen this year, Sinfield’s D has improved but that is what you’ll lose because Frawley is generally pretty solid and strong.

Which is why I’d be tempted to play him against London and see where he’s at.

It’s the errors I cannot do with at this level. I know much is made of the stats, but everything is connected. For me errors are king: I.e. you make an error, it swaps possession. It kills field position. A team is more likely to make errors in some situations than others, but these are individual errors mostly.

I would give Sinfield kick off and drop out duties to hopefully reduce some of Miller's errors for a start.

Frawley was ShtthS his own it had nothing to do with the forwards he had plenty of kicks that he fluffed when he had lots of time and territory to pick his spot, his defence for their first try was abysmal too

Rhys Martin made the first miss for that first try yet no-one is bagging him, in part because the rest of his performance was better.

Frawley has become the new whipping boy. Maybe the fans should get behind him at games so early in his Leeds career (sorry I'm not able to go regularly) instead of constantly bagging the guy, it's not really interesting or clever.

I was definitely underwhelmed with signing Frawley, and he has made some unnecessary mistakes, but the problems don't start with him, and I don't think Sinfield would make much difference. All this talk of kicks going straight to players is an example of OTT stuff - if you're kicking from deep its almost impossible to make kicks which do much, as the opposing back three can stand way back and run onto the ball. I didn't rate Frawley because of his lack of speed and running threat, but his kicking has generally been pretty sound throughout his career. At least until now....
