Dunno who mentioned Leon at 13 but that for me is a non-starter. He won't get through the work needed at 13.

I agree. Leon hides way too much in a game to ever play in the forwards. It's why I used to like him at fullback. You can't hide there, you have to be in position.

I would play Lilley and Keys anyway. I still have serious doubts about Leon and his ability to disappear. He has done it all of his career so why will he change now.

Hopefully we'll see a bit more involvement from Leon this week. Last week's game wasn't one for the backs. The weather should be better on Sunday so here's hopjng we can use our backline. No way will the captain get dropped in game 2.

I think Thomas will keep his place. I think we'll line up like this:

Thomas
Macani
Mendeika
Oakes
Ryan
Pryce
Lilley
Kirk
Lumb
Magrin
Bentley
Roche
Moore

Keyes
Peltier
Oledzki
Larroyer

Re: Round 3| vs. Swinton (Away) : Thu Feb 16, 2017 6:36 pm  

I would expect the team to be...

Thomas
Macani
Mendeika
Oakes
Ryan
Pryce
Lilley
Kirk
Lumb
Peltier
Roche
Larroyer
Bentley
SUBS
Magrin
Moore
Oledzki
Jordan-Roberts / Wilkinson

I expect Keyes to not get his place back until Lilley goes back to Leeds. I don't expect Lilley to be here after the minimum 28 days loan, so let Keyes have another couple of weeks getting over his injury while we're not desperate for him in the team. Same with Jonny Walker, if he's in need of fitness, let him hang on until Oledzki's loan period is potentially done.

(What I expect, not necessarily what I would pick)

I think we will end up keeping Oledzki longer than the month's loan. Lilley will 100% go back though!

Re: Round 3| vs. Swinton (Away) : Thu Feb 16, 2017 7:57 pm  

We need to play Campbell at full back.

But considering the article on the Bulls website this week, it's clear they're not going to.

I'd love to keep Oledzi. Thought he was our best forward on Sunday.

I have a feeling we will. Only way I can see him going is if Leeds have a major injury crisis in the pack or they fancy giving him a run out if Leeds get drawn against a lower team in the Challenge Cup. Same with Jordan-Roberts. Lilley will 100% go back and I think they may want Hallas at some point.
