If you have Leeming in the halves youre probably looking at Dwyer on the bench or asking O'connor to do 80 mins. Our pack though needs to be as big and physical as possible

MRP will do what they do, it’s a lottery so could be anything or nothing. I do think Knowles cops a ban however you spin it and that is ridiculous as there was absolutely no need.
What I do know is if as a Leeds fan I had the choice of removing two players from Saints team then Walmsley and Knowles would easily be in the top 4 picks.
On the counter if i was a saints fan and I had the same choice I would probably have Newman and Sezer in my top 4.
I think if Knowles isn’t playing saints drop down in intensity, especially in defence and they look a lot weaker at first interchange.
Either way I think it will be a good game next week and will be close

Knowles will definitely be banned, it’s preposterous even with the inconsistency of the MRP that he will not be banned, it’s a crystal clear Chicken Wing.
Welsby, it’s a close one. I saw an angle where it showed clear shoulder contact to the head, but if the MRP see the angle from the other side it’s NCTA.
Makinson, whilst calculated, was correctly called as a penalty only. NCTA.
Matautia, clearly trying to support an injured player, ridiculous for anyone to suggest a ban.
Lees, does knee Sio in the head, it’s possibly careless, but is really just accidental.
So, Knowles is out and everyone else likely to play. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Yeah I agree, really sensible post and view of the different incidents. From our perspective Knowles being out on top of Walmsley should give us some confidence.

Leeming should have had a spell at 9 in that first half. He’s direct around the ruck, it was desperately needed. He’s tried to hard since coming back and been too dominating. I suspect he’ll feature for a stint next week before half time.

The record books will only show the result, and the best chance of us winning is by them having players banned.... so clear plenty of seats in the stand for me. Especially given some of the bans we've had, when penalties weren't even given for those 'offences'.
