| 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.

| 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.

| I think we've got to give McClelland a go or if lui gets injured we'll be back with sutcliffe-myler for the rest of the year.

| I just reckon this would be the game to try McLelland again.
Difficult selection but it’s a good problem for Agar. He’ll go with whoever trains best.

I don't think Agar will do that.I would start McLelland and if it's not working move Sutty to 7.i think he'll play safe like as all coaches do and start Sutty.If he does then I doubt McLelland will be on the bench

Ward will be 3 to 4 weeks. God knows on Crosby or Ablett.

Not sure it's a good problem - our starting 7, who's hopeless, is banned and we have no obvious replacement...? We get to choose between a promising youngster who hasn't kicked on, an erratic hooker or a 'utility' player who is ineffective or worse in each position he plays.

| I wouldnt think Dwyer would be under consideration surely.
Am I right in thinking a 14 point win takes us 8th? Optimistic I know.
