Been about 2 decades since we got a win at Leeds, coupled with a few missing players and the fact they've had a week off I think we're up against it. Assuming Albert is back, Watts cops a ban and Faraimo is out, I guess we'll go something like:
Shaul Talanoa Carlos Connor Griffin Kelly Sneyd Taylor Washbrook Bowden Mini Manu Hadley

Talk of Carlos missing out due to a crusher. Not watched it back yet but friends who watched on TV said he may miss it. Would have to give Logan a shot if so.

Seems to be a theme so far this year that after a really good performance a player gets injured. Kelly, Paea, now Carlos and Faraimo. Agree on Logan but a big ask against Leeds three quarters.

Sorry, didn't make myself very clear. Think Carlos commited the crusher tackle, but like I said I haven't watched the game back yet.
The only other option would be to put Washbrook or Turgut in the centre but thought the former did well hooking last night. Not sure Turgut would be the best option either. Would be a shame, but that's what squads are for I guess.

2007 our last win there, not exactly decades.
That team you suggest, but with masi and not Turgut.

Ah right. Either way disappointing that he'll be missing after a strong performance. Washy to stay as hooker for me, watching back the commentary team were complementary about his handling, particularly for the lead up to Faraimo's try.

It was barely anything. There were 3 Hull defenders in the tackle and as Clark went to ground Carlos kind of rolled over the top of him a little. It was Cummings who suggested it could be a disciplinary issue. Clark got up holding his neck but 10 seconds later seemed fine. I'd be very surprised (and extremely disappointed) if Carlos gets anything for that. At most he'll get a warning about dangerous positioning.

Thanks for that. Hopefully that's the way the disciplinary see it too as even with Faraimo missing, our backs still look strong.
