Personally, I'd go with:-

1. Myler
2. Fussy
3. McDonnell (albeit never seen him play)
4. Handley
5. Olpherts
6. Austin
7. Sezer
8. Holroyd
9. Leeming
10. Tetevano (I'd have Walters ahead of Tetevano but know there is no chance of that)
11. Gannon
12. Martin
13. Smith

14. O'Connor
15. Lisone
16. Walters (prop / 2nd row cover)
17. Sangare

Smith has mentioned Olpherts in the centres a lot and thus, I suspect he will be centre. Likewise, I think Smith likes Martin in the centres so suspect he will be the other centre. Personally, I would prefer Martin at 2nd row given Bentley is already missing. Likewise, I understand McDonnell is a 2nd row / centre in any event (I get the impression he might be an Ablett type centre).

Is Lisone not more of an impact prop rather than starting prop?

I doubt Walters will be included given there are already four other props (unless Tetevano is 2nd row), however, even then Donaldson may get the nod ahead of him.

Always hard to predict when it is the first game of the season. Fussy and Olpherts might not even be fit. There would be no surprise if any of Roberts, Tindall or Ruan were named in the 17.

Even with injuries I just don’t see why Donaldson should be in that squad. He isn’t a prop, he isn’t really big enough or skilled enough for a 13 and he isn’t quick enough and/or doesn’t offer enough threat as 11-12.

Good squad player, decent guy to have around. If you have a lot of injuries or need to rest a few then okay to come in. But really if he gets in our 17 when we have a prop, back row and both centres missing then for me that’s an issue.

Fusi at centre and Tindall on the wing for me. Leave Martin back row.

McGuire banned for seven, I believe.

Myler
Fusitua Roberts Olpherts Handley
Austin Sezer
Tetevano Leeming Holroyd
Gannon Martin
Smith

O’Connor Lisone Sangare McDonnell

18th - Ruan/Donaldson/Walters

Anyone know what’s wrong with Bentley?

Have a feeling he may go with Roberts actually.

Mcguire gets 7 games.

I'd go for Roberts paired with Fusitu'a. If it goes well we might have ourselves a decent backup centre. If not he could be moved to the wing during the game with Fusitu'a moving to centre, or just put Martin/McDonnell there.

Smith signed him, so presumably sees him as a genuine option, and of the squad players he and Ruan were the ones who put their hands up to get a shot. If not picked when our first choice centres are both out, when will he get a game? I've no problem with Tindall being reserve wing ahead of Roberts, but we know what he can (and can't) do.

Heard there's some shock team selections tonight.

Myler
Roberts
Fusitua
Handley
Olpherts
Austin
Sezer
Holroyd
Leeming
Lisone
Martin
Gannon
Tetevano

O’Connor
Sangare
Donaldson
Smith

Handley and Fusitua at centre

I think Walters has been unlucky not to be selected.

If Leeds can’t compete with that side Warrington have put out then there’s something wrong. Their back five are garbage

Would have preferred Walters over Donno, but the rest is there or there abouts, injuries aside.

That's a bit silly with the pace of dufty and Ashton and us starting roberts and Olpherts with 2 usual wingers at centre.
