Leeds and Cas should have been a double header tbf.
If we're going to talk about the fine line between winning and losing, the comparative recovery time enjoyed be Leeds is almost certain to be a factor.
An extra day on a week is neither here nor there but a 2 day turn around is tough, playable if both teams are on it, this rubbish should be sorted out really.
Catalans are grabbing their ankles too, but at least they're at home.

That's the problem when you run a game to fit with TV schedule s. The whole games a joke with regard to fixtures no one team should have an advantage over another. Thursday night fixtures should be kicked out ASAP.

Well, he played against Saints and Hull FC so I'm not quite sure where you've got that from....

I'm not sure I'd play Jowett today. He was great on Friday but this turnaround is tough enough for seasoned pros and might be too big an ask for Max today. In my mind we would be better giving him time to reflect on his performance and prepare for Saturday, yet another short turnaround and a potential killer for the players.

Get your point but I tend to go with the alternative view.

I think he is young and easily capable of the two game. Added to this he's really up now and probably hasn't come down from Friday. With this in mind I'd let him carry on, his slump will inevitably come as it does with young players but I'd be surprised and worried if it were spent after one game - let him run with it I say. Even a half d performance will still be better than his predecessors.

The more I think about it I'd go with a back line of

Jowitt
BJB
Lyne
Hall
Johnstone

Some genuine pace there, nobody expects us to win so let's go and take them on.

BJB would be wasted outside Lyne who can't pass and is doing well on the wing. Put BJB on the bench for impact and leave Arundel in after Friday.

Agreed. Lyne is a winger who can cover at centre. He's not a centre and certainly don't put a strike player outside him.

I don't think any club would put a full back/ winger on the bench and I don't think we should either.
He should either start or wait his turn and with another game in just a few days, he is sure to be playing soon.

With the size of Leeds' pack, we need forwards on there (including an interchange hooker)

He's gone with Hall at fullback, Arundal & Lyne at centre and BJB and TJ on the wings.
