Good to see Matty Laidlaw get rewarded with a spot in the 21-man squad, his rapid progression these past few months has been pretty incredible.

Balmforth is on the bench.

despite what everyone is saying
this one is another Must Win in my eyes

I think Leeds will have a similar must win objective. Narrow win for them.

Hope you're right

You have to think Hodgeson is coaching for his job and his career at this point. His selections will be on the conservative side. As fans we would forgive a youngster having a bad game. But would we forgive Hodgeson if a poor Leeds team beat us at home?

8! Players missing it's gonna be hard.

Im reasonably confident I'm right.

Hookem starts at 7 too.

No other young lads playing.

Bookies have Leeds fav. Still fancy us. But it's gonna be close.

Think that's right tbf, JJ will cover 13, Balmforth cover Danny and Hookem if not working, rest pick themselves tbh

Leeds missing similar, suspect itll be a pretty uninspiring game all round.

Most banned though aren't they

Over 50% of our starting 13 out injured, plus Mitch and Cator.

Connor
Swift
Carlos
McNamara (Reynolds)
Gale
Savelio
Ma'u.

Bet that's nearly 50% of our cap.

Glad a couple of young lads starting, it's the way to go, need a few games though to get going.

No good If we don't score, hopefully been working on a few things, need to take our chances, really can't see anything but a Leeds win.
