Agree with side above and for us a relatively big bench, just wonder if Callum McLelland May get left out and we go Leeming at stand off, Dwyer hooker with smith, Donaldson, king and Holroyd off the bench with Smith able to fill in at stand off and hooker to rest/rotate the other 2.
Hopefully agar has a few choices for a change.

Was thinking the same. Obviously stepped in to cover the last minute change with Gale last time out but they've not shown any real faith in him before threat, even after he was fit to play. Wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if Leeming is back in that spot come Thurs. On the plus side, if Callum does play it'll be the best line up he's played in and alongside Gale would be really interested to see how he goes. Plenty of rumours about him on the way out already - not sure if that's a done deal or not yet but would be his best opportunity to show what he can do

Personally I would play McLelland if he's fit. He does have talent and behind a decent pack could go well. Leeming looked much better at 7 than at 6 for me, so with Gale back in my preference would be a "proper" half back.

Leeming also brings some physicality at hooker to start.

Aside from Walker and possibly Broadbent, this is just about our first choice side for the first time (I wouldn't play Liam Sutcliffe ahead of Newman or Hurrell myself). You might argue Lui over McLelland but I think Lui is shot bless him.

Myler, T Briscoe, Hurrell, Newman, Handley, McLelland, Gale, Mik, Leeming, Prior, Mellor, Martin, Smith; Tetevano, Dwyer, Holroyd, Vuniyayawa.

Anyone coming over from Leeds for this one?

that's the side I would go with.

Donaldson for Holroyd unless Tetevano isn`t ready just yet.

holryd got to be in if fit donaldson shouldn't be near a full fit pack

Donaldson always gives it everything and never takes a backwards step, he’s a great squad player to have at number 25, but he won’t be in a full strength pack. He’s played so many games this year because we’ve not had a full strength pack.

Great to be discussing who won't be playing rather than who will!!
We need to match the size and physicality of the Hull pack.
So, I think Leeming will play in the halves.
With Smith, King, Holroyd and Donno on the bench.
Smith can cover 6 if we need to rotate Leeming & Dwyer.

Also, I would personally play Luke over Tom Briscoe.
But that won't happen.
Sneyd will target Tom in the air and it could be a problem.....

To be fair Tom has been playing well.

Allow mclelland to play behind a full strength pack and alongside an experienced halves partner otherwise they’re making a contract decision without seeing the full picture or giving the lad a chance. Leeming is a 9, mclelland is a (now) fit half, play them there. T Briscoe was poor in the earlier part of the year and to my mind his performances were rightly judged, he’s improved of late though especially his work load and errors.

Myler
Briscoe
Newman
Hurrell
Handley
Mclelland
Gale
Oledzski
Leeming
Tetevano
Mellor
Martin
Prior

Smith
Dwyer
Holroyd
King

Either way, as mentioned it’s nice to be having these conversations and that pack can match any in the comp.

Agree - but mainly in the centre

Thats a strong team whether Tet or Prior starts a 13 or prop.After 20 minutes bring Smith on to 13 which leaves us with 5 props to rotate.Or with go with 4 props and add another second rower but i would go with size and put Walters in instead of King.

Yep, that's the team I would pick also
