I doubt Hardaker will be available to be honest I think it will be a couple of weeks before we see him. If the others are fit and ready to go Id go.

Myler
Fusitua
Broadbent
Sutcliffe
Handley
Austin
Leeming
Oledski
Johnson
Tetevano
Bentley
Martin
Smith

Dwyer
Thompson
Donaldson
Holroyd

We are looking at naming our strongest side in a long time, with Gannon to return next week, Prior the week after and Sezer not too far after that we may get close to full strength soon.

Hardaker
Fusitua
Broadbent
Sutcliffe
Handley
Austin
Myler
Oledzki
Leeming
Tetevano
Bentley
Martin
Smith

Holroyd
Dwyer
Mellor

I'm just hoping the retring players don't get red carded/ banned in first game back

Myler at half back ?, whilst Hardaker may be still decent at Full Back , Myler has failed time and time again at half back

Sezer would be my first choice, but he’s injured. Full back is now his position, but Myler can still do a job as at half back, having played most of his 14 year Super League career there.

If Sezer is injured I would put Leeming in the halves, Myler FB and Hardaker centre.

Totally agree. Myler has more than done a job at full back. He adds so.much to our attack. Leeming at 7 for me. In my opinion, he actually looks a better 7 than 9.

Its wrong to suggest that Myler (or Sutcliffe) can 'do a job' at halfback, unless you mean fail utterly. Myler has never successfully led a team from halfback, he's always been second fiddle to team leaders. Sutcliffe hasn't shown anything to suggest he's capable of playing 6 since 2015 except for a lot of appearances there in a lot of losing games.

The 'player X can do a job' thinking led us into this season with just two actual halfbacks, and has led to us retaining the likes of Sutcliffe (and umpteen rubbish middles) way too long.

When Myler was playing half back for us we had arguably the worst pack in super league. He also won player of the year in his first season. He may not be the answer at half back but it would mean Leeming not having to cover the halves and most importantly Dwyer not having to get big minutes there.

Agree

Usually I'd agree but myler in the halves makes more sense with the impact around other positions. Ie Dwyer less minutes at 9, hardaker at fb means broadbent stays at centre continuing his good form. Arguably last time out Leeming didn't start great in the halves and went better at 9.

In addition, Hardaker is a far better full back than centre.

How many returning from lay offs, for whatever reason, do you put into the starting 13 at the same time?
Great news that so many will be available for selection but has to be tempered a little with caution

I’d bring Hardaker, Fusitua, Bentley, Tetevano back into the starting lineup and Myler and possibly Mellor on the bench
