Been told Smith has made a couple of rotations to his team tonight, Handley is expected to play, Sinfield starts in halves with Frawley dropped from team and O'Connor starts with Ackers on the bench tonight.
Whilst I would totally agree with the dropping of Frawley today ,I would hope that Sinfield is not put in against Cats and Saints , where our pack will get murdered and so will Sinfield.
I hope frawley is dropped, otherwise what does a player have to do to lose their placem any talk of him needing this game to build confidence isn't right l, he had that last week and blew it and has consistently been average to poor. If sinfield plays tonight and does a good job he should keep that place too.
decent team, bench looks a bit light for me, but should be a good test to see how depth is this year, good to see frawley dropped, not just for his performance but just for the way he acted with Edgell last week, shocking from a veteran!
RS is looking at a few “players for the future” here I think. Roberts at centre will be a big game for him, he’s not going to stay at Leeds as a winger.
Ackers to bench is a surprise; possibly carrying a knock or maybe RS unhappy with his form.
Let's be right, London will fancy this. But there is no way we should lose this game. Good on RS for dropping Frawley, hopefully Jack can take his chance. Bench is very light and Ruan will only get 5 minutes. We should still have enough. More about the performance / reaction for me tonight.
