If we're looking at rotating props I'd be tempted to give Holdroyd a week off and bring in Walters.

Why? He’s really hitting his straps and has hardly played in last
18 months!

Because we're in a position where we have many props available and can afford to rotate, and like you said, hes barely played for 18 months, so no harm in giving him a weeks rest.

Its a long season and having a squad we can rotate will help us in the long run

Sezer
Holroyd
Oconner
Oledski
Mcdonell
Bentley
Smith

Walters
Tetevano
Lisone
Johnson

Interesting that he has brought Sinfield in to the 21.
Maybe in for one of the halves?
I would put Tindall on the wing move Macdonald to centre and Martin in the SR for McDonnell if only to give him some rest time.
Walters in for Sangare as you have said.

I think I'd like to see a bot of consistency, Im not sure moving players around just because Hull are in a poor run of form will work - but I know RS likes to tinker a bit.

Either way I'm not as confident as some, if Hull get a couple of early scores I think it will be close.

On the flip side if we go out all guns blazing I think we can beat them in the first twenty minutes - my issue is we haven't started well in any game bar the saints game, and even then we let in some stupid trys.

Yep. Walters has earned another chance, not that Sangare has done much wrong.

Yeah, we won't do that!

Apparently the game is being switched to the cricket pitch so you can declare at half time.

Yorkshire did that and let Leicestershire chase down 389 runs last week.
On paper we are 20 points better off but much depends which Leeds team turns up having already lost to you, KR and Cas says it all really.
