Think Naughton will be dropped, tbh.

I had thought that, but other players have played worse and kept their spot in the team....on the other hand leeds will pepper him again, so maybe michaels in for naughton?

Our best chance of winning is with Abdul in the halfs.

Still no confirmation that Mini will be out for Friday, waiting right until the last minute for the decision.

I'm still not sure Lineham will play either. Can see -

Rankin/Shaul
Talanoa
Sa
Yeaman
Michaels

Pryce
Abdull

Paea
Houghton
Watts

Ellis
Whiting/Minichiello
Westerman

Feka
Green
Hadley/Whiting
Cunno

I agree. Think he'll go well at first receiver, we certainly need his kicking game.

That team worries me

Lineham will definitely play
Sa will move to second row for Mini and that will allow Radford to play Yeaman
We are going to need Rankin in the side as he his the best goal kicker we have available but where will he play as Shaul had a decent game at Leeds following a shaky start.
Half back a big problem for us on Friday.

Abdull's a better goal kicker than Rankin.

Squad:

Abdull, Bowden, Ellis, Houghton, Lineham, Michaels, Minichiello, Paea, Paleaaesina, Pryce, Rankin, Sa, Shaul, Talanoa, Thompson, Watts, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman
