Yeah it’s a worry. I’d guess the “leadership group” at the start of the year included Cooper, Isa and Powell. Who are all missing

We need someone to step up.

Does Leeming come in to it. Maybe Marshy

It’s one of the reasons why I’d get Powell back in the 17 asap, even if it’s just to play 15-20 mins off the bench. I also think Smith and Smithies need to step up, not just in the short term but going forward. He’s very young but I like Brad O’Neill’s demeanour on the field but it’ll be a while yet before you’d want to burden him with more responsibility.

I think Smith is really starting to show signs he is growing into a leadership role.

He’s bidding the team around the park single handedly but he is also giving out some sprays to his team mates. He’s also added a bit of niggle in defence slowing down and becoming a real pest on the deck.

I'm sure I saw O'Neill speaking to the ref in a game earlier this season while Farrell was off.

I'd guess that KR's Reserves will be much depleted as well if they are all playing for the first team....probably the Academy team?

I like the Idea of Marshall,good team player and vocal at times and does seem to encourage players.

Powell, Thornley, Hampshire, Eckersley all playing for the reserves tonight.

That team might be stronger than Hull KRs

Stick Havard into tonights team and it's arguably as strong as we can go, just nit picking over the bench, if their attitudes right we should do our points difference a world of good

Good for the points difference

It sems a lost opportunity not to give Eckersley some game time

Unless a decision has already been made on him.
