Sounds like it's taking him a bit to settle. We badly miss Mik when he's not in and fully fit. I think we have lacked power for some time now. I'm sure Smith will sort in time once he has cap to play with and as the yonger guys develop of course.

Looking at it for tomorrow we lack some punch. Bentley coming back helps us but only in work rate and defence.

Holroyd - Has potential but a way way off yet.
O`Connor / Leeming - Meh. O'Connor could be very good but he's a long way off the best in SL still.
Tetavano - Meh. Been very poor on balance though was better when smith came in. Doesn't make enough yards.
Gannon - Huge potential and punching above weight now.
Martin - Like. Good player.
Smith - Like. Good player will get better.

Lisone - Too early, looks unfit.
Sangare - Like. Looks best prop with Mik. Huge potential to get better.
Oledzski - Best prop and up there with best in SL.

On the evidence of last week that is certainly the case. However on paper we have strengthened our props. Lisone is clearly lacking match fitness, but he is getting in the minutes so that should come sooner rather than later. Rohan has made some pretty bold statements about him, so we have to be positive. Sangare looks very good, and did last year too. Holroyd is 22 and really needs to step up this year. If he really is "miles off" he's way behind his peers. I'm hopeful that he is going out there to make a point this week.

Holroyd is bound to be well behind though given his injuries. He needs a full season being fully fit before he gets anything like.

Makes me wonder why Walters wasn't given a chance. I'd put him in ahead of tetavano currently.

I actually don't think he's as far away as you think. Physically he's a big lad, and he's also had a full pre-season as well as trial games. If he is going to live up to the potential we hope he has, surely it should start this year.

I'd like to see mcdonnell in the back row as I think he would add some grit on and off the ball in the absence of Bentley.

Has the feel of an important game. Maybe because we've been, and might continue to be, a very streaky side. Just hoping a Furner-esque run isn't just round the corner. I'll go Leeds by a single score.

I thought leeds might have some special entertainment planned for the home opener like some other clubs but it appears not?

I’d go with that as well. Maybe tell him to have a big 20 minutes where he really puts himself about and help get us to off to a better start.

Regarding Holroyd he may have slimmed down a bit much and needs to build back a little. He is still a puppy in prop terms. A few years ago Mik came out of preseason with a huge backside but has now found his shape and matured. Holroyd needs some luck and time and hopefully he can develop under Smith.

Wonder which Leeds player will fall for a Dwyer dummy?
With Tony Smith there FC will play the best football they’ve done in ages. Hope it’s a really entertaining game and we can get the win but who knows.

It’s important we don’t peak too early and risk finishing higher than 5th.

How very dare you, There are face painters in attendance Seth. Get yourself down and release your inner tiger.

In fairness I think there is a dj and some other stuff but at my age I just want to see some class on the paddock

Well that's not happening, he's gone to Bradford with Tindall.
