I think the weather may impact the style of play so I would go big and try get onto in the forward battle, I've not been overly impressed with Wires forwards this year from what Ive seen and I think we can get onto of them, Id give Donaldson a week off as he's played a lot of minutes

Newman needs a breather after the Hull game. Prior needs a break too but unlikely to be rested. Oledzki and Tetevano should still be fresh after their recent enforced breaks so okay for Sunday. Thompson to replace Mellor if fit otherwise one of our young guns. Suggest Mclelland should be rested. He simply wasn’t good enough on Thursday. Potential injuries after such a brutal game so potentially some surprises.

McLelland and Mellor injured. I would also rest Newman (don't want to overdo him on his return from serious injury) and Prior so that they are fresh on Friday.

Leeming to move to half back when Dwyer comes on.

Never mind the squad, will it be over in time for The Handmaids Tale at 9?

I like this though tempted by Sutcliffe centre for Hurrell at Leeming 6.

Leeming was my Rhinos MoM onThursday so why move him from hooker? We need to provide game time for young forwards on a rotational basis due to lack of other opportunities so Holroyd/Gannon on bench makes sense. We will just have to cope with half back deficiencies this year. Seems to be ideal opportunity to start preparing for 2022 now rather than getting hung up on results this year.

....Dwyers performance last night
Team being more settled in the 2nd half (when Leeming was at 6)
Limited options in the halves
Hurrell struggling to break even on his pros and cons

They're my reasons anyway.

I'd like to see us sign a couple of props for next season. Our starting pack could already be:
Oledzki Leeming Holroyd
Gannon Tetevano
Prior

Just need some rotation, rather than making do with 2nd rowers on bench.

I guess they think the new rules have sped the game up and they need more athletic players, but I'd rather tire out opposing defenses with battering rams.

Yet again we have many supporters so keen to rest our best players. Rest them for what? If we rest our best players we won’t win games, if we don’t win games we won’t make the play offs.

Tend to agree in this Harry needs game time not more time on the sidelines
