Yes but when the other players are compensating for the lack of props by doing more defensive work it hampers the attacking play. Parcell thrives off big men punching through and getting quick play the balls, this hasn’t been happening.

I understand you just want to pin everything on the coach but there is more to it than that IMO.

It will be interesting to see whether that narrow loss spurs the team on or dents the confidence even more

I agree quick play the balls help but it worked Friday with the same amount of big men we had in recent games so that defeats that argument. the coach should have solved the problem weeks ago so yes, he is at fault.clearly st fault

Squad for Wednesday:
1. Ashton Golding
2. Tom Briscoe
4. Liam Sutcliffe
6. Joel Moon
8. Adam Cuthbertson
9. Matt Parcell
14. Brad Dwyer
16. Anthony Mullally
17. Mitch Garbutt
19. Brett Ferres
22. Ash Handley
24. Jack Walker
25. Jordan Lilley
26. Harry Newman
27. Cameron Smith
28. Mikolaj Oledzki
30. Josh Walters
32. Tom Holroyd
23. Jack Ormondroyd

With this in mind, I’m guessing Lilley & Oledzki stop out.

Walker
Briscoe Newman Handley Golding
Sutcliffe Moon
Garbutt Parcell Mullally
Ferres Walters
Cuthbertson

Dwyer Smith Holroyd Ormondroyd

I would go with the following on the basis Walker has had several hits to the head this past two or three games and Oledezki is given a bit longer to recover and other than Trout we do not have many more options.

Golding
Briscoe
Newman
Sutcliffe
Handley
Moon
Lilley
Garbutt
Parcell
Mullalley
Ferres
Smith
Cuthbertson
Subs
Dwyer
Ormandroyd
Walters
Holroyd

Aaron bower from the guardian just tweeted this

Leeds have already named their 19-man squad for tomorrow’s game with Catalans but understand there may yet be a new face featuring for the Rhinos on Wednesday. Would expect some sort of announcement today

I asked if the new face was academy or signing and he confirmed signing.

I’m told that Luke Briscoe has been training with Leeds all week and has re-signed for Leeds and plays tomorrow.

Wowser

If true hats off to the lad, been playing sensationally for fev, and it shows there is always s second chance, for players who originally don't make it in super league.

Or third chance in Luke’s case

opportunity rather than chance then really chance makes you think he has been a bad un, rather than worked hard improved his game and developed into a better all round player. just shows 2-3 years playing against men full time rather than a bit part mainly academy player can make a huge difference.

And what will happen when Hall returns does he go back out on loan to Fev?
I`m not sure what the benefit is to the club other than to play him tomorrow when we could have moved Golding or Handley there or to Tom when he will be kicking his heels instead of playing and scoring week in and week out at Fev

If Hall moves on in 2019 Briscoe could be his replacement

nowhere near good enough

Sam moa out. 2 game ban
