If Wynne was a doubt you would think you would have Walker in the squad over Barron.

Unless Lovodua goes to centre, Cator to SR and Severs on the bench?

Misread the 21 man squad thought Walker was in, still not convinced Wynn will make it with it being such a short turnaround and him being is quite some discomfort at Cas, I guess seeing him continue and see out the game maybe is a positive sign not as bad as first thought.

Disastrous. Can we get Ferreira back from London?

Not been playing, not sure if he was injured.



Leeds have nearly as many key men out as us, but the short turnaround, will kill us, we'll that and the fact we aren't very good.

I think for us to stand any chance lovaduo has to play the majority of the game at hooker , Houghton could spell him for a bit then move to 13 when lovaduo comes back on

Shaul

Mitch

Wynne

Griff

Swift

Connor

McNamara

Sao

Lovaduo

Bowden

Savelio

Cator

Fash.



Houghton

Satae

Brown

Evans

If Bowden was fit to be 18th man at Cas then he has to included at least on the bench given we have Evans on catch up

Fash will start again at 13 again and i guess Joe will be given a second row start once again

Cator on the bench looks likely with Evans,Bowden,and Brown

Not looking forward to this one.

Need body's back so we can drop those not good enough, we then lose a further 2 players.



Hoping Lane and Reynolds are minor injurys and we can crack on and have Carlos, Macintosh, Mau, Reynolds and Lane all back for the Hudds game



If only.......

Reading between the lines of Hodgson's interview in the HDM, he really does see Connor moving into the halves as an absolute last resort.



I do get it to be honest, but I do worry who that would mean we would see in the halves. Both Houghton and Johnstone are named on Hodgson's shortlist which would send many (and probably myself) into meltdown.



He did mention that Lovodua spent most his youth playing in the halves, if we are going to stick with Connor at FB then I think he would be the man I would go for.



Elsewhere it sounds like Wynne and Bowden are good to go and Cator is ready to put in a big stint, which is much needed good news.



It was always going to be a tough ask with the short turnaround regardless of the 17 we named. Do sadly think it'll be another defeat, but if the effort is there and we put up a good fight I will be happy to roll onto Huddersfield and hope to see plenty of bodies back.

With both Gale & Reynolds missing and Shaul fit then we have to move Connor in to the halves. Moving either Houghton or Johnstone to play alongside on McNamara would just be crazy and we may as well play Sao at halfback if that’s BH’s thoughts.

Think he is too stubborn for his own good when he has Jamie Shaul available to move back to full back and Mitch to slot into wing

If Johnstone is included again in the 17 then he really is losing his way

If Connor isn't in the halves tomorrow then the coach is a bigger fool than I currently believe he is. The fact that Johnstone is even being considered for a role there tells everything I suspect about Hodgson. Clueless.
