Big shout there Marty but he looks a fantastic prospect.

Very reminiscent of Morley when you just knew he would make it straight away.

This is the most physical young pack I think we've had. I can see every one of these lads (exception of O'Connor) being 120kgs.

Probably agree with you in doubts over hooker but couldn't be much happier with the others and with more coming through. There are another couple from the academy I think will catch the eye this year.

I see your point and i'm generally quite cautious about rushing young forwards but he played so well last week and has done in the past that i'm sure he can handle it.I wouldnt be looking at playing him every week but i like to play those in form.I've said it before as others have Gannon and Walters have the potential to be an awesome second row pairing.

we dont have a big pack

the only big guys in our forwards are Satae and Sao
We are also playing with probably two of the smallest forwards in S/L with Cator and Lane.Both good players and work very hard but not big
Our bench is also lightweight with replacement prop Fash again small and Brown may get a game this week.Young 20 year old prop mobile but small.
Until we get Taylor and Bowden back we will get bullied in the pack just like Catalans did to us.

I think Leeds have a real chance against us in this one. With Taylor and Bowden missing, our very skinny squad depth is definitely biting us .I think the Satae and Oledzki battle will be quite interesting though, both have looked impressive this year and Oledzki, for me , is the best young prop in our game, really hope we can sneak this but it is not based on any confidence, particularly after our most recent display against Catalans, which was a huge anti climax for the fans who attended,

Big Mik has been great this year yes.

Leeds might get on top of Hull a bit but unfortunately that’s where is ends. We really are lacking at half back. Should be a good game though I expect both sides to be better than on their last outings

Myler
Hall
Hurrell
Sutcliffe
Handley
Sinfield
Gale
Oledzki
Leeming
Oledzki
Mellor
Gannon
Prior/Tetevano

Other subs: Dwyer, Vuniyayawa, O'Connor

Obviously a little bit tongue in cheek, but things aren't good. We could easily lose next 4 games.

Yep we have no one to put anyone through a gap apart from maybe Myler playing at full back and coming into the line

I'd be hopeful that Hurrell breaks the line a couple of times too.
This should be do-able. Neither side has been scoring loads, one biggish FC win v Salford excepted. Even though we're still missing a few we should be looking to seal what'll likely be a close game without much in the way of fancy attacking play

Territory alone won't get you tries though... even against Wakefield. There needs to be some creativity. Gale doesn't put up any contestable kicks, so hopefully Myler chiming in is where we score points from, rather than simply biff from Koni.

Yep 100%. But I really meant koni posing a threat in addition to myler. One dangerous player really ain't enough no matter who he is.

Just you watch, sutty will wrap things up now with his step and dip of the shoulder

Agree. We are only team in SL not to score a try
From a kick this season. We’ve got to be bolder and more inventive near the line.
This chip it into the corner and let them catch it routine is fine if you are 12 points up but we need to score more. I know we’ve had loads out but I expect more from now on.

Think we are worried about them going the length of we contest a kick. Need someone with real pace or someone standing further back

I agree but if planned you can get the other centre and winger coming round on the cover.

I think we are more concerned with giving a 7 tackle set away than conceding a long range try.

Also need our hookers to be more precise in their delivery of passes to the kicker. Doesn't help when you're catching at your knees or over your head with on onrushing defence.
