With quite a few ageing big earners coming off contract at the end season, there's likely to be changes to the line up next season.

Besides, I don't think we're ready to challenge for the big one yet (GF). The squad changes next season will make or break whether we are next season.

Listening to the press conference sounds like Bentley may be covering second hooker tonight, although he implied Johnson will get chances in coming months.

Looking forward to the trip over although weather forecast looks terrible for the match now.

Yep. Really need to look after the ball and play tough tonight. Good test.

I`m not so sure it`s a good indicator that just because Bentley played hooker as a kid he can step into a very specialised and no doubt different way of playing hooker now.
For me Johnson should be on the bench it`s the only way we are going to judge him for the future.

We could win something this year but we aren’t, in my view, a good enough side to be confident.

I’m interested in Leeds being a top 1-4 side every year for a while again.

Next season we have a big opportunity. The ship is stabilised just about, we aren’t looking over our shoulder at relegation and signing in desperation. We can plan and build from a fantastic base of young talent. I’m interested more in the future because I want to see how good this young side can be with better quality senior players supporting them.

Hooley
Fusitua
Newman
Martin
Olpherts

Austin
Sezer

Holroyd
O’Connor
Tetevano
McDonnell
Bentley
Smith

Lisone
Roberts
Oledzki
Sangare

Not saying I agree with it and happy to be proved wrong, but I think Bentley played a little bit of 9 when he first broke into the saints first team too.

Think they’ve just gone with 3 big forwards on the bench to ease Mik back in gently on a moist evening in Ull. Once he’s back to big minutes again then hopefully CJ should be on the bench most games.
Looking forward to seeing Hooley in action.

Sadly, it doesn't look like Johnson has a future at Leeds, which is a real shame.
This situation is made for him, but he's dropped from the 17.

not a Robert's fan at all.
looking forward to seeing hooley get a start

Good that Nene gets a rest as he’s fasting too and evening game is worst timing. Tough one for Hooley to be thrown into though, def not the plan. Let’s see how he copes with the high bombs from Abdul….

I can't bear to listen to Jon Wilkin.
He really is terrible.

Hes just Phil Clarke 2.0

I think Walters is unlucky not to be in the 17.

Guessing Roberts to centre, Martin to BR, Bentley to hooker for last 15 or so of each half ?.

Interested to see what Hooley can do and if Olpherts can have a brain fart free game
