Feel free not to come.

Personally I'm looking forward to both games. Cas can be great to watch, be good to see Toronto and hopefully SBW.

No idea really what to expect from us v Hull. We have looked good in patches in pre season and Hull are always so unpredictable.

Clearly all teams will still be a bit tough around the edges but I'm expecting two entertaining games.

I will be there 10 mins before Leeds game kicks off.

Are there any tickets left and what happens when Cas fans leave after their game , do those spaces become availible . Also i understand Hull fans will be in all different sections of the ground (should be fun after a few hours on the ale).

Early train for a few of us.
Hope Skyrack and Oak are open earlier than the advertised 12 noon, it being a Sunday and all that.
Been informed that Taps is open at 10am.
Should just about do.

Mellor has really impressed me from the bits I've seen in preseason. Such a direct line runner. Once he gets into the swing of things he'll be hard to stop down the edge.

Seen one or two mention Muizz in the convo too. Am I the only one who doesn't overly rate him? He's a 110% player but his size is a big disadvantage for me. I hope he develops because that effort is there but at prop in SL I think he'll struggle in impact.

What about Head of Steam or Acadia ?

Not sure what you have seen impressive with Mellor. 10 minutes aside at Wigan he has looked pretty poop. Hopefully more to come.

I have to agree on Muizz. Voiced the concerns since early last year. But the qualities he does have are the same which gave JJB a long career despite.

We'll probably be taking them all in.

Mellor looked ok at Wigan but im not sure where he will fit in unless we get injuries, which will happen with Wardy no doubt. He probably should get a bench spot but that will probably go to Donaldson cos he makes 5 metres a season


Muizz is fine hes strong and powerful so his size isnt as important as others his size. Like other kids though its all about getting a chance.

I agree about Muizz I just don't think he's big enough for SL. Walters on the other hand has everything to be a top second rower.

Donaldson works his socks off and would definitely make my 17, as would Cuthbertson for his offloads.

Walker
Broadbent
Hurrell
Newman
Handley
Myler
Gale
Prior
Dwyer
Oledszki
Ward
Martin
Cuthbertson

Mellor
Holroyd
Mustapha
Donaldson

I'd rather have Newman in centres, Hurrell was better on other side for Tonga, Lui looks unfit, I prefer a prop at LF against Hull, and I'd drive Sutcliffe and Cam Smith to Fev myself.

Re: RD 1 | Leeds Rhinos v Hull FC : Sun Jan 26, 2020 7:38 pm  

For Hull if Seumanufagai is out as well as Leeming and T.Briscoe I'd feel more confident if we had.

Walker
Evans
Newman
Hurrell
Handley
Lui
Gale
Oldezki
Dwyer
Prior
Ward
Martin
Smith.

Subs
Mellor
Myler
Cuthbertson
Holroyd

But like many have stated L.Sutcliffe will probably be at Centre with Newman on wing. I really like Donaldson work hard for his team and does the dirty work, but Holroyd has a chance to shine especially if Seumanufagai is missing early doors of season and every minute he gets in first team will make him develop into the class prop he could be, and Smith has performed well in the 13 role this pre season I think and is his to lose imo.
