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.
