Certainly hope Smith is fit to play Thursday and we can cope with Sangare missing out if Holroyds back. Interesting looking at the table today. I know we got wins against Saints, Wigan and Cats unexpectedly. Had we beat Cas twice and Wakey once we are 3rd in the table. All ifs and buts I know and close margins.
Warrington are there for the taking if we play well, regardless of Williams. Good test, but will be a lottery which team turns up….. Crowd will turn on them pretty quick if we get on top.
Good opportunity to build on the positive performance on Friday against a better side. Hopefully the team retain the confidence they showed and Rohan sticks to a simple go forward game plan

The Rhinos welcome back Papua New Guinea international Nene Macdonald after he completed his return to play protocol following concussion. Tom Holroyd is also back in contention after missing the last three games. Justin Sangare misses out this week with a foot injury. Leeds are still without the long term injured players Harry Newman, Zane Tetevano and Morgan Gannon and Cam Smith has not trained all week but is in the 21.
The squad in full is:
1 Richie Myler 2 David Fusitu'a 4 Nene Macdonald 5 Ash Handley 6 Blake Austin 7 Aidan Sezer 8 Mikolaj Oledzki 11 James Bentley 12 Rhyse Martin 13 Cameron Smith 14 Jarrod O’Connor 15 Sam Lisone 16 Derrell Olpherts 18 Tom Holroyd 19 James McDonnell 21 Luke Hooley 22 Sam Walters 24 Luis Roberts 25 James Donaldson 26 Corey Johnson 31 Leon Ruan

Let's hope he is fit. Will need him for the subtlety of his attacking game and also his sheer defensive work rate down the middle. Will also need Oledzki, Holroyd, and Lisone to find their best form against the threat of Vaughan and Kasiano. We've beaten ourselves in a lot of games this season, but at Wire on the 1st night we got a real beating. We owe them one.
