Could play Lino of the bench covering both hooking and s h roles.

Wasn't it suggested last year, but he's reluctant to playing in that position, as he played it when younger and didn't go down well

We have a reserve game this week so I think Eseh and Hewitt can probably use ban for that and can play vs KR.

Whitbread would go straight in and maybe Bowden. I’d consider Langi unless Kay stays at centre. Possibly put Hood on bench as I thought we struggled when Bowes went off for 20-25 mins.

I wouldn’t change the halves. How could you after finding a combination that works.

I would put Lino back in for Dagger. Austin turned him inside out, scoring one try and bombing another sitter plus one other clean break on that edge that they dropped when it looked easier to score.
The key for me was Bowes getting quicker distribution from dummy half.

Coote missing for HKR is a big loss.

Massive risk throwing Lino back in for me. He’s had 14? Games and been the constant influence but our attack in those 14 games has been non existent. The common thing in all the 14 games was Lino.

Dagger may have had a few lapses but I watched on trinity TV too and he put in some fantastic low tackles to really stop Leeds breaking the line. It was a huge improvement at 6 and 7 Sunday. Do we really want to undo that forward step? Our attack has been our issue this season and finally it looks to have improved with this combination.

Lino seems to be a fan favourite and I don’t doubt his enthusiasm but I’m still yet to be convinced by him. His kicking from hand isn’t great either. The kicks Smith and Dagger were putting in were far better than what we’ve seen.

Like I've mentioned previously, we are all rugby league fans in the family, I, along with my son are Wakefield fans, my wife and daughter are Hull KR. It is a split household.

We try to see both when our teams don't clash.

After 20 years of doing this, things aren't going to change.

I also see it too, as watching as a bit more of a neutral when at Craven Park, without getting too wrapped up in it all

You sure there is a reserve game, not seen anything anywhere? I know there is an academy game but i thought the next reserve fixture was the same weekend as the next first team game?

There’s also the outlandish possibility m that Luke Gale may be available!

Tbf how Smith n Dagger went I don’t think he can complain much ?!? Thought Smuth was outstanding .. same as the Warrington away game . He needs a settled chance , Lino has had plenty of opportunity imo
