Don’t think we’ll see ECW till at least round 2

Shame.
Wakefield is good game to throw him in and see what he can do

It says a lot for the "on paper" strengths of the 24 squad v the 25 squad, that even allowing for our current injury absentees I don't have a clear idea what our best team would be. If O’Connor isn't fit I wonder if he might go really big on the bench and pick Holdroyd, Lisone, Jenkins and Gannon. Bentley could spell Ackers at hooker if needed, and McDonnell could move to centre if we have an injury in the 3 quarters.

Re: Leeds v Wakefield : Thu Feb 13, 2025 12:22 pm  

If everyone in the 21 man squad is available and fit to play I’d personally go with.

1.Connor
2. ECW
3. Newman
4.Handley
5.Hall
6.Croft
7. Frawley
8. Oledzki
9. Ackers
10. Palasia
11. Bentley
12. McDonnell
13. Smith


14. O’Connor
15. Lisone
16. Gannon/ Holroyd
17. Jenkins

I personally think Arthur will go with Edgell or Lumb over ECW after his pre game comments this week

I also wouldn’t be rushing to play both Gannon and Holroyd given their injury records it’s a long season ahead

14. O'Connor / Sinfield
15. Holroyd
16. Lisone
17. Gannon

Cooper Jenkins to miss out with Ethan Clark-Wood given an extra week in camp.

I suspect if both O'Connor and Sinfield are not fit to play that Edgell comes in on the bench as back cover.

Same starting 13 .
Bench
Jenkins
Gannon
Lisone
Holroyd.
Bentley to have a short stint at hooker.

I’m expecting a tough game , Wakey defended well on Boxing Day, think will be a fairly low scoring match

Re: Leeds v Wakefield : Thu Feb 13, 2025 8:50 pm  

Perhaps not quite as low scoring as the first half at Wigan this evening.
