Think it should be the first League game of the season and would then attract 20K +

I'd be surprised. 16-17k IMO.

What was our highest attendance at a game last year?
Southstand seemed to have plenty of space all season

Rhinos’ Boxing Day side is: Jack Walker, Harry Newman, Liam Sutcliffe, Konrad Hurrell, Ash Handley, Rob Lui, Luke Gale, Ava Seumanufagai, Kruise Leeming, Mikolaj Oledzki, Alex Mellor, Stevie Ward, Cameron Smith. Subs Brad Dwyer, Richie Myler, Adam Cuthbertson, James Donaldson, Alex Sutcliffe, Muizz Mustapha.

Very lightweight, but probably to be expected without Prior and Crosby

Really looking forward to this game, seems like an absolute age since the last game!

Thats the best Boxing Day line up for years, might actually go!

Strong line up would have liked to have seen Walters named in the squad.

Yeah very strong team.

Who is missing from the team?

Briscoe, Crosby, Prior, Martin, Holroyd

Newman on the wing and Liam 'Missed tackles' Sutcliffe as his centre. We can't be going into the season with that. Tom Briscoe's defense is awful, but just because Handley has made a serviceable winger, doesn't mean we should risk scuppering Harry's potential. I hope this is for 1 game only.

With a bit of luck 1 of the 2 spaces left open will be for a winger. I think I saw Tom Davies had gone to Catalan. We'd been linked with him, but banking on him returning to full strength after coming back from a serious injury was probably not worth the gamble. Especially after Kallum Watkins poor post injury performances.

Prior and Martin certainly make that pack look better but its definitely on the light side. I do get concerned should we get a few injuries if that's the squad for the first month or two

We cleared out so much dead wood in close season. It's a real kick in the balls to see Cameron Smith starting. He should be at Featherstone already, with Liam Sutcliffe. I'd rather see an academy winger and Newman in the centre.
