Match for match (swapping Rovers forLeigh we are on the same points).

Probably more injuries and disruption this year.

Must win the next 2 SL games

That's unbelievable! The Cas game is massive, praying Sika makes it and Green is back as hopefully Shaul and Sneyd will be. Any news on Kelly?

I reckon he will be out for 3 weeks ish.

Miloudi at 6 potentially? I think Connor personally with Tumi at centre but guess its an option

Kelly has been carrying the injury for a while. When hes been clear he is clearly not as quick as he should be

I think the best teams are losing less games this season than last so expect a higher number of points to make top 4. Add in our poor away form and 4 away matches in the middle 8s isnt a great proposition

Depends on whether we've revised our ambitions. If we've given up on top 4 and want to put our eggs in the cup basket again I agree, but if we think top 4 is still a possibility I think we'll risk him if possible.

You might be right, last year 4th was 26 points, Cas already on 16 with 12 games to go, so think 4th will be at least 28 points. So that's 7/10 wins. Going to tough, but need to be in touching distance at the split.

Good thing is that we have only 3 away games left, one neutral ground
and 6 home games. So fixtures stacked well in our favour particularly with our home form

Is there scope to bring the lad from London in to our playing squad this year?

Steve Mascord tweeting there's a big pow wow in Leeds tomorrow involving representatives from clubs in all three tiers.

Been wondering about that. Since technically he is now a Hull player and simply on loan at London. That's my understanding anyway.
May be a loan deal where we don't have an option to call him back though, or perhaps part of the deal of actually signing him this early is that he has to spend the rest of the year at London.

he didn't play in london's last game so maybe he's injured as well

Guess it would depend on the cap for one, plus I believe Wire wanted to sign him immediately and London wanted to keep him for the year. Lets say London make the middle 8 they will want him playing but if they miss out then perhaps they would be more willing to let him come to us early as they wouldn't be playing for anything but then is it too much of an ask for him to step up so quickly.

Interesting one for me this. Was curious as to how we compared to last year in the like for like games, replacing Leigh with Rovers.

So when you look at that way, we're on track to match last year's points. We only have 1 of the top 5 left to play away from home, and last year we lost to Leigh at home and got spanked by Saints at magic...

Don't get me wrong. It'll be difficult. We had some great wins at home to Cas, Wigan and Saints last year and also got a point at Warrington. Just think we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves with the doom and gloom, although the manner of the defeat in France was the most disappointing part for me.

might be a option, don't think its to much of an ask, play him 2 short stints, tell him catch the ball run hard as you can lol,
