We have two better in our 19's. Let's not.

Which two Gotcha, out of Brady, Hallas and Whiteley?

Sorry, three. O'Brien is absolute garbage, no need for that sort of signing.

Have to admit whenever I saw him last year in the Qualifiers he didn't leap out as being one to watch. Wasn't quite sure what all the fuss was about.

I'd be happy to see Leeds run into next season with someone like Hallas as back-up to Segeyaro, or whoever the first choice hooker ends up being. IIRC this is his last year of under 19s eligibility and next year will be his first pre-season as a "specialist" hooker, so give him a 12 month deal with the proviso he can go out on DR if he's not needed at Leeds during the season.

How is Hallas coping with the move to hooker? I only get to see him on the highlights Leeds put up but he looks to be doing okay from them.

Rhinos Fixtures are:

HOME
12/08: Hull KR
02/09: Red Devils
09/09: Bulldogs
23/09: Centurions

AWAY
06/08: Rovers
20/08: Broncos
18/09: Giants

Arguably the toughest two games last, can't have any complaints about that. We need to get this dealt with in the first 5.

So chronologically:

06/08: Rovers (A)
12/08: Hull KR (H)
20/08: Broncos (A)
02/09: Red Devils (H)
09/09: Bulldogs (H)
18/09: Giants (A)
23/09: Centurions (H)

Great - the toughest game will probably be Huddersfield and by that point we'll have 10 points in the bag.

We need to get this nailed and dealt with in as few games as possible. If we are scrapping towards the end to avoid the million pound game performances will be terrible.

Are the middle 8`s shown on Sky?
If so which Leeds games or has that yet to be decided?

Only the Featherstone & London games on SKY so far...more could be move depending on results etc I'm presuming.

Only up to Challenge Cup Weekend announced so far. Last four rounds to be announced later for Sky fixtures.

Not a bad order those fixtures.

Looking at the others I'd be most concerned if I was a HKR fan. Got a good opener at home to Batley but then away to us and Salford. If they don't get anything from those two away games then they'll only have 2 points by the time Leigh visit them.

Also Salford vs Hudds on the opening weekend so one of the SL clubs is going to be playing catchup after the first week.

Hopefully, get through this, have no players selected for England (based on performance this year) give the lads a good break and get everyone back for a full pre season and be ready to go in February.

Hall & Watkins definitely will be in the squad plus possibly Briscoe & probably Ferres.
