It’s difficult because although we might have a strong side on paper, I don’t think they’re all fit.

However if we can play our best pack against Hull it will be a great yardstick.

Sezer can’t get here soon enough for me but I’m hoping Callum gets another shot this week.

No team is ever all fit, but some last minute Covid madness not withstanding, this a genuine benchmark game for us. No excuses really. Will find out how good they are. I think we'll win.

Interesting that Agar has said he wants Callum to stay, I thought it was a done deal that he'd signed for Cas

Yes I thought Agar made sense in what he said and was very honest. Callum has Gale and Sezer ahead of him next year, but given Covid and injury disruption over the last year he hasn't really had chance to get going. Hopefully he will back himself for at least one more season at Leeds and try to break through.

There is a spot when Gale goes and by the time Sezer's contract is up, I'd expect Jack Sinfield to be in the mix.

I think clubs miss out now by not having walk up turnstiles where you can pay by cash or card. Waiting in a long queue at ticket office to then take it back to a turnstile is a pain. All clubs seem down on fans from the Covid impact. Think i’ll Come over though as should be a good game.

Even in 2 years time, young Sinfield will only be 18, I think we may be need to temper the expectations a bit and give him a bit of time.

His Dad debuted at 16, just saying.

It takes as long as it takes for him to mature, but he has the skillset to make it IMO. I will be surprised if Jack isn't knocking on the first grade door by the time he's 18.

Again more noise linking Austin to Leeds; be very interesting if that's true, and what half back combo we're going to go into 2022 with...

Anyway hopefully we will be competitive with Hull this week, and hopefully it will be a good, intense game without either side falling apart for chunks.

Keep Newman and Handley together so we have one side of power and one side of speed. We've missed pace for a while.

Re: RD 16 | Hull FC (A) : Wed Jul 28, 2021 9:48 pm  

I think Newman and Handley are more dynamic/agile defenders with briscoe and Hurrell more ‘prone’ so best to mix their qualities.

Re: RD 16 | Hull FC (A) : Wed Jul 28, 2021 9:49 pm  

This is our first game of the Sutcliffe Dilemma.

Myler is at FB, Newman and Hurrell centres.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Liam preferred to McLelland at 6. Maybe on the bench but who drops out from your forward rotations and Dwyer?

Interested to see what Agar does with this selection.
