The main blessing for us is that Connor isn’t playing!

Fusitua out for 6-8 weeks. No Handley on Sunday and waiting for update on Nene.

Backline for Sunday??
Myler
Tindall/Roberts
Martin
Newman
Olpherts


*shudder

8 more weeks of Olpherts…shudders.

Once Handley is back I think it will be him and Mcdonald on the wings, Newman and Martin in the Centres - That's what I'd go with anyway

Olpherts will come good. There are a glimpses of a quality player in there…..I hope!

Olpherts is crap and I'll bet my bottom dollar he'll still be that come the end of the year.

My opinion too , yet another waste of high end salary cap

Sinfield reportly unavailable for Wigan following failed HIA.

I dint want to see Olpherts in a Leeds shirt again or Fusitua. Don’t want to see Bentley Tetavano Sezar either after this season.

Yep, Smith said so in his presser

No bans following Friday. All cleared to play.

With no suspension to newman I really hope we can get Martin out of the centre position as its no coincidence he's gone from one of the best performers last year to one of the worst in many ways. Unlkely though with Sinfields injury we're looking at myler in the halves and Handley at FB.

But Myler isn`t any good in the halves and Handley is much better on the wing.
Wouldn`t be surprised to see Gannon at half back.
Looking something like this:
Myler
Tindall, Newman, Macdonald, Handley
Gannon, Austin.
Oledzki, O`Connor, Tetavano
Martin, Bentley
Smith

Johnson, Sangare, Walters, McDonnell

Gannon at halfback is a non-starter. Myler may not be great there, but Gannon has only played a few minutes of low intensity pre season at 6. If you insist on a forward with Austin, either Smith or Johnson would be better.
