Hardaker is one of our few bright sparks. We loose that with him at Centre. You don’t move your best players around constantly. Myler is back up to a few positions. That’s useful.,..,,

Normally I might agree with you but with newman missing Martin isn't the answer to continue at centre (one of our better players this year out of position, sound familiar? And the pack could really do with him in there) I'm also not convinced hardakers link on last pass plays is as consistent and as good as mylers (for all zaks strengths). Right now we need 13 strongest body's, myler is (to quote the RFL) frivolous from the bench in some jack of all master of non/might be needed/might not be role. We're better served playing another forward given the dire straights theyre in.

I agree Martin is needed in the pack.Myler can as we know play well at fullback and centre partnership of Sutty and Hardhaker is better than Sutty Martin plus we lose Martin from the pack.It also means we can use Dwyer as an impact sub.

If Handley is fit to play I think we’ll go with the above.
If Handley is out I’d be tempted to go

Myler
Fusitua Martin Sutcliffe Hardaker
Austin Sezer
Oledzki Leeming Prior
Gannon Bentley
Smith

Dwyer Donaldson Walters O’Connor

So we know appealing means they add an extra game to the ban.... and we still did it with Newman. Genius'.

Yep, that is a huge issue. Lack of real leadership on the field.

Hull doing it tough at the minute, missing Connor, Swift, Tuimavave, Gale, Savelio, Ma'u, Cator and McNamara through injury and Vulikijapani suspended.

Could be looking something like
Shaul, McIntosh, Griffin, Wynne, Scott, Lovodua, Hookem, Evans, Houghton, Satae, Sao, Lane, Fash
Bench: Taylor, Brown, Balmforth, Johnstone

We've been pretty good at home this year with six wins from the last six and only losing to Saints but clearly the problem we have is scoring tries without Connor in the team.

Walker, newman, Briscoe, Tetevano (is that one a plus though) Thompson, tindal, Holroyd, Mustapha, Handley 50/50 plus letting Mellor and broadbent let go with no return. Pretty uninspiring game ahead

Tetevano out is no way a plus. Odd way for fans to see it that way imho

I'll flip it round shabs - Can you say why having Tetevano in the side is a plus?

Donaldson can do his role and better, same for Walters, same for most players TBH

Donaldson stays on the field and is regularly (almost always) available for selection. That's 2 massive pluses, before we even get into comparing how effective they are when playing.

A player, any player, is no good if they spend a good deal of their time in the stands.

Just this Christopher. And the chance of keeping 13 players on the field is increased.
