Hubris..??....just checked the Leeds squad and can't find anyone called Hubris, what position does he play ??

Really looking forward to this one and we are more than capable of beating Leeds.
They looked very good in defeat in round one but, have appeared to be going backwards a little since then.
Myler being out for them has stifled their attack and with Lino back organising our attack, we have a decent chance of registering our first "W" of the season.

Come on Trin !

It’s my Ketty high school education coming to the fore!

I'd have kept that to yourself if I'd have been you......

Croft alongside Lino and Tanginoa looked streets ahead of anyone in the reserves on the weekend, looking forward to seeing Croft get his chance again. Shame if Hall isn`t fit, he`s carried his pre season form into the season and just looks full of confidence, it would be brilliant to see him have a stormer against Leeds...

There was a time that you would have written these games off with 4 or 5 young lads filling in but these young lads are brimming with confidence, it`s good to see and that gives me confidence that we will if not win this game, not do ourselves any injustice in our performance.

Wakefield by 18 for me though.

Big blow to not have Hall or Minns in…that takes us to 5th choice centres! I’d also be dubious on throwing Croft in there off the back of 1 reserve team outing after nearly 12 months out…would be a massive ask!

The other dilemma is whether to go with young Murphy on the wing or go with the more experienced Kay? Given that he’d be outside someone at centre playing out of position, probably Batchelor then I’d save Murphy for another day. Then have either Crowther or Brad Walker interchange 9 and the other 13.

My confidence hit a little with the centre crisis, especially seeing Leeds getting players back and nearly at full strength…but this group won’t go down easily and think it could be won in the middle of the park anyway so over to the forwards!

Kendall is the referee

Forget a win then

Missing a lot of three quarters and 9 in total. The team still looks good though.

Hall
Tupou
Lineham
Minns
Lyne
Davetanivalu
Kershaw

Plus

Gaskell
Hood

That’s a full back line right there.

Murphy looks good though so it’s an opportunity for him to showcase what he can do. I hope we plan to use his pace and TJ.

What a game to get your first league points in. Bring them on.

Why? Not that it matters at all who the ref is but we have a better win % in games reffed by Kendal than Leeds do? Leeds have won 8% of the games he`s been in charge of over the last few years.

Because he seems to favour the "bigger clubs".

I hope they go with…
