Let’s hope you’ve brought some luck back with you!

Glad you got a nice break. Bet you missed us though.

we better be up for this game !

Thanks. And not been rude, but no

. It’s quite nice to take a break. Saw the game though last week, very good bartender got it on.

Interesting game between HKR and Hudds. Trying to get a better look at Mellor. Seems pretty solid in D and aggressive for his weight.

As for Hull, good to see McLelland in the squad; I assume Martin will play second row, Agar has confirmed he’s now first choice kicker which means he probably starts. Wonder what Agar will run with on the day, there
are a few options in there now.

Walker
Briscoe
Newman
Koni
Handley

Lui
Sutcliffe

Cuthbertson
Lunt
Ava
Ferres
Martin
Merrin

Dwyer
Singleton
Peteru
Donaldson

I really hope Sutcliffe isn't in the halves. Starting Lunt and having 2 props on the bench is a must though.

A Leeds win by 14 or more would lift us to 8th...

I wouldn’t have him either, but what choice have we really got?
Don’t think McLelland is ready to face Hull.

Controversial, but we could bench McLelland instead of Dwyer for this one. He could cover hooker at a pinch, and otherwise come in to the halves to add a bit of spark if needed. You could push Sutcliffe back to second row or loose to spell Merrin.

So this side but swap McLelland in for Dwyer.

Hate to say it but Sutcliffe probably has to stay in the side to cover injuries at centre or FB.

Toss up between Donaldson and Smith for final bench spot, but probably Donaldson because he works his socks off in D and is pretty solid.

Wonder if we’ll see Ward or Crosby before season end.

Can't see the point of that move Dwyer still deserves to play though just not starting, Mclelland isn't an impact player and not a 9 so either start him or leave him out. Also dont like the plan b of swapping the halves around mid game, you end up with neither one thing or the other. My guess is you go with Sutcliffe and he does nothing to contribute to that position and you gain nothing, Mclelland will certainly add no less than Sutcliffe and it's a good bet he'd add more.

Ideally, I wouldn’t have Sutcliffe anywhere near my 17, but like you say, he’s got the universal factor about him for this one.

I couldn’t kick Dwyer out of the 17, for his sheer determination alone. A fast, fresh 9 of the bench running at that Hull pack could be a big advantage.
