Disagree. We win 5/7 last year in the super 8s. Losing 1 of the games in the last minute. I honestly believe Powell started the momentum for this season last year.

Fwiw I don't rate out chances in a final without Gale, but he's far from our only asset. Take Sneyd away from Hull, Williams from Wigan, Dobson / Lui from Salford , same applies. Not so sure who Leeds' mvp is, parcell maybe ?

possibly yes. however burrow can do a good job there. everything goes through gale.

Yep agree with all of that.

Only Aston available for Featherstone next week in the cup quarter final. Expecting Leeds to go same as Wakefield but wouldn't be surprised for Baldwinson & Ormondroyd to get a game. Wouldn't risk Burrow with his shoulder.

Golding
Briscoe Watkins Sutcliffe Hall
McGuire Moon
Garbutt Parcell Cuthbertson
Ablett Ward
JJB

Ferres Mullally Garbutt Galloway Ormondroyd Baldwinson

Any of the bottom six on the bench.

Golding still didn't look fit, so I'd give Walker a game. I'd also consider resting Cuthbertson.

Would like to see a 3/4 key men rested after the recent run of games.

Probably will be Watkins anyway, with him having another child.

Saw Galloway today and he was limping quite badly if you can limp badly. But you know what I mean!
Might be wise to rest him, Parcell and Cuthbertson and give Golding another week to recover..
Bring in Baldwinson, Ormandroyd, Burrow and Walker. Sorted.

I'd be happy with

Walker
Briscoe Watkins Sutcliffe Hall
McGuire Moon
Garbutt Parcell Singleton
Ablett Ward
JJB

Ferres Ormondroyd Baldwinson Mullally

Watkins will get the night off surely.

Put Burrow in for Parcell and that would be my 17 Frostie.

If as looks likely the League Leaders Shield is going to Cas. The CC is one of 2 trophies we are in with a chance of winning. I would hate to see us take this game as a given and weaken the squad too much. But the suggestion that we should rest some senior players and give youth a chance to gain some valuable experience is spot on

When can Oledski come back? I know we like to bring em on slow and I agree but really wanna see this kid play more

Wasn't in Bradford's team yesterday, don't know if that's injury or maybe he's coming back to us for this week.

IF he comes back to us, then it means he would have to go on a months loan again to Bradford in order for them to be able to utilize him again. One month, then weekly, which is what we have now. If that weekly is broken (i.e back to us for games) then it has to be started again. Sure that is how the system works.
