Not a great start to momorivski's Leeds stint, missed a good chunk of pre season, poor in the games he's played and injured already

He was poor the first half last week but other than that he’s been solid, not setting the world alight but not done much wrong.

People seemed to be too focused on how players/ team attack and nothing else.

I imagine Smith will go with Martin. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Momirovksi's been playing with some sort of problem. Might explain why he's been quiet.

Definitely agree that Ruan should keep his spot. If the likes of Ruan and TNW take their chances when they get them, there really isn't a place for Donaldson in the 17 under any reasonable circumstances.

Agreed Mom's been poor so far. Needs to offer something in attack as we have seen nothing in that area from him so far.

Yeah it's a coincidence his winger has scored 7 tries, I'm sure

Given his lack of pre season Momorivski being injured isn't ideal, he needs plenty of game time. Thought he did well second half last week so this is a blow for the player and the team. Do we know what the Injury is ??

Another proving my point, another who's attack focused, he did make more metres than Newman against Leigh off less carries, and got a try assist, do we need to see more from Newman too?

The team announcement just said 'minor injury' and there wasn't any mention of it in Rohan's press conference

He was reasonably poor first half against Leigh is it possible he's been dropped?

The only problem with playing Goudemand and Bentley together in the starting 13 is mass; we can't afford to lose the early collisions. I think Goudemand is a better bench middle or starting second row personally. I'd go:

Miller
Roberts, Newman, Martin, Handley
Croft, Frawley
Mik, Ackers, Holroyd
Bentley, McDonnell
Smith

Goudemand, Sangare, Ruan, O'Connor.

Mom hasn't been bad by any stretch, missed alot of pre season and one of many new players.
Will take time to settle like most do that come over from aus
