| Question marks over Ipape's fitness, but if he is fit it's just a question of whether Dwyer or Davis make way. Last couple of selections suggests that Davis might have got himself ahead of Dwyer in the pecking order.
The rest is pretty much a given. Can't see Hardaker, Holmes or Brand featuring in the 17.

| To think we are in an age where we can see the two most prolific super league try scoring (wingers) go head to head

| Meh.
It was and oddly quiet walk to the ground tonight, reminded me of the first match against Huddersfield atmosphere wise and that is how we played.
I don't wish to detract from KR, they are a solid outfit but I felt every one of their tries came from an error on our part, they lost a Evalds early and were down to 12 and we still never looked liked scoring.
Optimistically I'd like to think we were just going through the motions with one eye on the "easier" game next week.
Hanley man of the match for me, Halton still coming along a treat.

I've not been comfy with our spine all season , and it showed again tonight. No articulation, no execution, and no idea when we need it most. Moylan once again having a nightmare. Next week, O'Brien off,Moylan in the halves, and Hardaker at fullback.

| Moylan is a confidence player and since his injury he has lost some of that. Hardacker at full back they wouldn’t have scored two of those tries. We looked clueless in attack and they defended us easily, even will twelve men. The Charley incorrect play the ball call was ridiculous, as he is pulled forward by his shirt, penalty should have gone Leigh’s way, changed the momentum back to KR. Hopefully we get a response next week or that’s the season done.

| Entirely agree on Moylan, rib injuries are difficult ones the recover from fully and I expect he's still quite nervous about reinjury. It's ironic the way Zak's pre and early season went but as the season went on he became a highly dependable player who now seems to not get near the squad.
Same applies to Gaz and his constant head knocks/concussions.
It had to come down to us vs Saints I suppose, I think our form flattered us into thing a result vs KR was possible but we're still two points better off than I thought with the result over Wire

Understand the opinion that Moylan at 6 but why is it seen that GOB has to make way for Zak? Purely for the way we play , or try to play , Gaz needs to be in. His link up play is outstanding and got tremendous hands . No one really made noises for Zak to be full back last year after the first few rounds.

In that case, no need to change anything then.

Whoever is at fullback I don't think it should be Moylan , its not that he had a nightmare last night but its also the amount of high balls he lets bounce , to be fair though the rest of the team don't seem to do enough in terms of protecting him . Our kicking game is also below par.

His confidence is at rock bottom and it’s showing in his ability under the bomb, upto a few weeks ago he was up the in the MOS charts and the war cry was super Matty Moylan.
He’s really dropped off and regarding the kicking game , agree 100% it’s woefull

| Moylan has always been vulnerable to the high ball when under pressure. Look at the dropped ball that led to Waqa Blake's bombed chance, and he's let a number of balls bounce when it's been high and shallow. Unfortunately our kick pressure is probably the worst in the division.
Either he has to not drop as deep, or we need to swap him and O'Brien around and hope Moylan's one on one defence isn't exposed at 6.

| KR came with a game plan - to brown-trouser Moylan whenever possible. It worked! Can't believe GO'B wasn't switched there at HT (or before). Wellens smacks as a failure at Saints but even he will have seen what transpired and will apply the same tactic unless the swap is made and then it's curtains for our season.
Though it is to be hoped KR (at home and still in with a sniff of landing The Shield) should see off Leeds but one would expect (even an ailing) Cats to see off FC - unless DB's recent tweets on the latter turn out to be Fergie-esque mindgame masterstrokes?
Bongser hopes that that is Derek's game and not that the benighted IMG have told him that his maths doesn't add up - he has also tweeted about assurances being reneged upon.
