Quite a number of players missing from this one which is concerning. Walker, Fusitua, Newman, Sezer, Myler, Holroyd, Walters, Johnson, Edwards.

Sutcliffe
Tindall Mellor Briscoe Handley
Austin Sinfield
Oledzki Leeming Prior
Bentley Martin
Smith

Dwyer Donaldson Tetevano Gannon

Starting this thread with less than 10 left and the game in the balance is a bit odd.

3 of those haven’t played this season, and 3 more have played 1 game (or less). I don’t know if that means we are unlucky, or they’re just not fit enough to ride out the knocks you’d expect. For Each injured player you can make a case for their inclusion, but the simple fact is they haven’t played.

I thought Holroyd was supposed to be back 2 weeks ago?

Is anyone else getting the Samaritans advert on here a lot at the moment? Seems a bit ironic.

It was more because of the injuries mentioned above

Id be tempted to put Handley at full back

Handley
Briscoe
Broadbent

Has tindal ever played full back. Would like to see him get more of the ball. If not Sutcliffe fb and cam Smith in halves? Not sure young Sinfield would be ready. Lots of development in him before a regular first teamer

Tindall is dreadful under the high ball, he'd get exposed at FB

Tindall’s reading of the game is nowhere near good enough yet to play full back

I am however glad he’s getting a run, he’s young and he will learn

The last thing this team needs is Smith at half back - his ability to way up situations is far two slow for him to play 6 or 7. The only way Leeds don't win last night is to give a penalty away on the last set - so Smith does just that!!! For a kid who was supposed to be the next Ellery what has happened? - the development at Leeds of young players is truly shocking.

How many games have our 3 best young players payed in last 2-3 years?
(Walker, Newman, Holdroyd)
