If 3 of our bench looks something like O`Connor, Sinfield, Donaldson then that has got to be one of lightest bench for some time.
I would definitely look at getting Ruan back for this one just like Warrington have done with Wood and that`s even if we get the Smith ban overturned.

Bench would be more like Lisone, Goudemand, Donaldson then maybe a back if Smith ban stands.

Holroyd will be back

Smiths appeal succeeded. He plays.

Just confirms what a total embarrassment the MRP is.

That’s quite significant because it makes our first 13 and bench stronger.

For me we should consider starting Lisone with Mik and get at Warrington early.

can you honestly see this coach wanting to go and press early???

Lisone had his best game in a Leeds shirt coming off the bench when there was tiredness and some gaps in defence.
Why would we change that?
He's our only impact prop.
Way better off the bench for me.

Agree, Lisone off the bench for me too.
Time that Holroyd began to show his worth in that 10 shirt. A reasonable tackle count isn't enough; we need metres too.
Tick tock.

I just think we could attack Wire early rather than aim to defend them. Lisone is clearly our biggest impact forward, he can cause problems from the start of the game I'm sure.

I look at the combinations of what the props give us - if you had Sangare and Lisone on at the same time, I'd be worried defensively as both struggle laterally. You tend to see a more defensive prop in the mix with either of those two, and they operate as a pair.

Mik and Lisone is a powerful combination, I would then bring on Holroyd who isn't a lightweight either. You can then re-introduce Lisone either beginning of second half or for the final 20-30. We don't have much muscle on the bench but for me, your lighter players are less exposed against a more fatigued opposition.

People were adamant Sangare wasn't a starting prop but has done pretty well this season.

Also "tick tock", really???

Critical game to any ambition of being best of the rest this season. Wire will be a test for our defence but we should get a bit of space to exploit, hope the weather is OK.

Is Handley Injured ?
