Luckily there's 3 props to come back from injury yet (Huby, Millington, Jackson).

The only downside is Huby is 6? weeks away and Jackson is out for another 3 months. I hope we use Millington for Friday. Why wasnt Walker played? No disrespect to Nash but he hasnt shown me much in the games so far to be picked ahead of Walker.

Yeah, agree with that as well - Whacker in and maybe Millington for a debut.... If they are right, I wouldn't waste them on Friday ahead of a few weeks.

With the Leeds 4 props, I think we will need some tackling beef - could be one for Hudson off the bench as well at 13, 9 is now sorted.

Yeah we could have done with Hudson yesterday for his tackling and experience. Time to change it around a bit. I would drop Youngquest to the 20s, he clearly wasnt ready yesterday. Holmes and Mitchell have done well so far but have played pretty much 80 mins every week. Thats why i would bring in Hudson.

McGoldrick will be ripped to shreds against Leeds so he needs dropping, stick Thompson & Grehan in the centres with Dixon & Griffin on the wings.

Did you see the performance against Catalans last week? I'd swear that was a different team out there today (and against Bradford) if I didn't know better.

I know what you mean but I genuinely didn't see a lack of effort. What I saw was a team which was too light in the forwards (due to injuries), being dominated by a strong forward pack. Their backs had free reign, where as ours were pressurised on every occasion and didn't have chance to play. You could put Sam Tomkins in our side yesterday and he wouldn't have been able to do anything.

When we did well last season it was based on great forward play with Huby being arguably the best prop in the league at the time (along side James Graham). When we get him and the likes of Jackson and Millington on the pitch it will be a different story and Emmitt and Walker will fit in well with them to make a strong forward pack. I must admit, I'm surprised Walker wasn't played yesterday as he's impressed me when he has played.

Made his 1st team debut against Wigan coming on with about 20 mins left. Looked enthusiastic in defence and seemed to have a decent tackling technique which is probably taken for granted in Australia but sadly not in this country! Didn't have much chance to show anything with the ball.

Long term would see him fitting into the backline ahead of McGoldrick.
