No Sezer for Leeds. It'll be a very inexperienced spine for them.

I agree to a certain extent....
But in the last few years, there has been no effort and no guts..
At least with effort and guts, you have a chance of winning.
Regarding Pearson, he didn't replace Motu Tony, relied on cheaper internal appointment alongside unproven Manager's such as Gentle, Radford and Hodgson
Had he spent less on players, and more on experienced staff
Who knows, where we would be now??

I'd be amazed thar happens, I agree with you, but expect Lovodua to play.

Although I still think he might play at 6.

Good to see Hoy, Houghton and Fash back, shame to lose Mcintosh however. If fully fit would go:

Barron

Staveley
Cator

Satae
Brown
Dwyer
Lovodua

Would agree with Lane over Lovodua, as Lane (despite no real form) is still the better option out the two. In an ideal world I'd like to see Staveley start with Jebson on the bench. Disappointing to again not see Balmforth being brought in if he is in the plans for next season.

Certainly a winnerable game, though in fairness its anybodys game looking at both clubs 21 squads.

Re: Leeds Rhinos - Home : Thu Aug 31, 2023 1:01 pm  

I'd be looking something like:
Hoy/Shaul
Swift
Sutcliffe
Scott
Barron
Hoy/Lovodua
Clifford
Fash
Houghton
Taylor
Savelio
Lane
Cator

Satae
Brown
Dwyer/Lovodua
Staveley

With the club making a mention to Shauls potential 200th appearance on social media makes me think he'll play. I worry about Barron being against Handley or Fusitua/Mcdonald and Leeds look to have a decent pack but an inexperienced spine, could go either way, both teams hanging onto the playoffs by their fingernails and both with lots of players out, could be a cracker or could be absolutely dreadful at least we don't have to suffer Kendalls incompetence this week.
