I agree on Mustapha. Broadbent is in the squad and might play

My point is that the side will change so adding even more changes might be too many and unfortunately other than Mustspha we don’t really have much choice in the forwards.

I meant to include Smith coming in for the suspended prior. Certainly Briscoe for broadbent is the key one and if this does happen I hope we don't see Briscoe on the bench. Muizz (not heard he's out?) in for Thompson. Bentley obviously replaces Mellor who's done nothing despite the opportunity. Sutcliffe is on thin ice too and a statement would be tindal in as well with fusitua going to centre.

I'm undecided on wholesale changes. Lack of effort - which I think was a factor in the FC debacle - is inexcusable. At the same time there's a clear need to put some structural issues right and too many switches will make that nigh impossible. Briscoe definitely goes for me - not for scapegoating reasons: he simply ain't a centre!

In other news, Kendall's just dished out what's possibly the most innocuous yellow card I've ever seen in tonight's TV game

I think those structural issues exist with the spine that won't change. Making changes to shake up around that wouldnt be a problem.

Re kendal, the game is really losing its way with the cards that are being handed out every week, its ridiculous.

That yellow was utterly ridiculous.

I don’t blame the refs though, they are just implementing what they are told to, i think they’re in an impossible position at the moment

There's a whole new level of incompetence coming tomorrow it's called Jack Smith, we had him last week, he was so bad if I didn't have a season ticket I wouldn't bother tomorrow. I would be concerned if he was reffing my boys under 11's team

Made my day hearing that . Obviously I'm hoping for a Leeds win but hopefully neither set of fans has its evening ruined by ridiculous cards torpedoing their team's chances.

I wouldn't worry about your pack either based on some of the comments on here. After our first couple of games our pack has gone missing big time. It's VERY lightweight.

I like to be as optimistic as I can so I'm going for a tight game, however, most of our fans expect the usual spanking I'm afraid.

I'm sure Hull fans came one here saying the same last week...

Yes, it’s almost as if fans aren’t always correct…

on the refereeing issues, smart half backs should be perfecting their skills of taking the ball right into the teeth of the defensive like and passing as late as possible so the tackler cant pull out and gets binned. Hold off and they dummy and go through the gap. You can see this becoming a tactical play to manipulate the current rules.

Absolutely. Rules will always be manipulated. Like when the hooker would deliberately throw the ball at the late retreating defender. They cottoned on to that, so hopefully all of these yellows for tickling will go next season. It's going to be a long season until then though. I won't be wasting any money as it stands.

The Fonua incident was not even a penalty, let alone a card. If you're committed enough to the tackle to hit the ball with your hand, it's not a late tackle in my book.

I hate it when Kendall refs, as he often ruins the game. I'd rather the refs err on the side of caution when it comes to cards generally, because it has such an impact on the game. I also don't like the VR reviewing late hits in slow motion. It has to be full-speed to be a real assessment.

I do think though that a clamp down on high shots is good (it's the bans that are ridiculous). Changing the game by ruling you have to tackle below the shoulder would free up players for more offloads and lead to a more open, entertaining game IMO. It's literally work wonders in RU.
