Leaves a fair amount to come in to the Trinity 13/17. Don’t think you can take too much from Boxing Day but will be good to see some new players get a run out.
I’d imagine we will see a full squad more or less vs Cas.
Oh dear, SARL reporting Leeds are missing a massive 6 players (including 4 young players).
However will they cope against a full strength Trinity missing Jowitt, Johnstone, Pratt, Mckmeeken, Hood, Pitts, Atoni, Griffin, Bain, Doyle and Matty Russell.

Poor Loiners. Makes you want to throw up. I often feel like that when I read anything about them.

It's a friendly so it's all about performance both individually and as a team rather than result but I'm particularly keen to see Russell and Trueman together. They are the key to our whole season.

Don`t think Leeds are complaining about those youngsters not getting a game. Arthur already stated he wants to see how the players are performing following pre season training and was always going to play the new signings. The only disappointment for me is Edgell missing out and he could have played McCormack or Lumb at FB but Connor is at FB and Newman in at centre. The biggie for me is him wanting to make Handley a centre when his defence isn`t that good.

It’s not Leeds club. Just poor ‘journalism’ (if it can be called that). Although Edgell may be a disappointment Connor is the better full back currently.
I just hope fans don’t judge too much with half a first team out against a strong Leeds team.
As PT says it’s more about the combinations and performance and the result doesn’t matter.
