Can O'Connor play hooker? I watched his post match interview and he comes across as quite articulate compared to some of the others. He's the right sort of build to play hooker, even if not experienced.

Been saying that a while now that O`Connor might do a job at hooker either him or Donaldson would be my shout.
I`m sure others will disagree.

It’s going to be painful viewing whatever team we put out. We need a mini preseason camp to implement any change. Oh for a Segayaro or Ben Barba type signing. But have occupied our overseas spots too so are in bad shape for recruitment. I wonder if we could chuck the cheque book at Connor…..

Dwyer is banned for tripping.

Yet Clarke isn’t for the same offence and charge?

Prior received a one match ban for a lazy arm a couple of weeks back, yet Mike Cooper gets a caution?

What a load of bol****s

Hea played therw before for us. His paaaing isnt good enough but he tackles like a trojan in the middle of the park which is a useful thing.

Im actually suprised that he didnt get banned also for the high tackle.

Could we maybe appeal Dwyers ban???? In the hope it gets increased to 2!

What you been watching Marty? You don't need to be a good passer to play hooker for Leeds

Such a shame that Johnson got injured. No luck at all at the moment.

Best passer in the team is Cam Smith. Has the shape of an old fashioned hooker for me too………
We won’t improve until we get some consistent ball from acting half, and somehow improve our centres…..

I’ve lost count of how many yellow cards and suspensions we’ve had this year.
It’s critical we don’t get any v Saints. In particular Bentley needs to just take whatever stick he gets.
Not just to help keep the score down.
We need as many available, particularly forwards for the vital 4 games in 2 weeks in late April v hudds, Cas, Toulouse and HKR, where we need some wins.

In our weird fixture list, we then have only 2 games in May with only a 5 day gap between Salford and Wakey. This month could give a new coach chance to try and improve us a bit.

But we could be staring down the barrel by then.
From June We then have 6 in a row not at home. Wire, hudds, saints, hull, Toulouse away and Cas at magic. This is a tough run for any new coach.

We urgently need some upturn post Saints.

That’s why I would rest most of our very brittle and flogged pack v Saints. We are not getting anything but a hiding from this one, but can regroup with a week off and come again….
Games after Saints far more important
