Evans, Mclelland, Briscoe and Donaldson/Holroyd to drop out for me.

Re: RD 1 | Leeds Rhinos v Hull FC : Fri Jan 31, 2020 12:14 pm  

What is your likely lineup from that then?

Re: RD 1 | Leeds Rhinos v Hull FC : Fri Jan 31, 2020 12:30 pm  

1. Walker
2. Newman
3. Sutcliffe
4. Hurrell
5. Handley
6. Lui
7. Gale
8. Oledzki
9. Dwyer
10. Prior
11. Ward
12. Martin
13. Smith

14. Myler
15. Cuthbertson
16. Mellor
17. Holroyd / Donaldson

Re: RD 1 | Leeds Rhinos v Hull FC : Fri Jan 31, 2020 12:36 pm  

I would go something like:

Walker
Newman
Sutcliffe
Hurrell
Handley
Lui
Gale
Prior
Dwyer
Oledski
Martin
Ward
Smith


Myler
Cuthbertson
Donaldson/Mellor
Holroyd.

I think we could do with going for the size of Holroyd on the bench given the size of the Hull team but not sure we actually will. Ava is a huge loss for us.

Tempted to go with Cuthbertson off the bench after the first 20 mins to see if we can get some late offloads and move Hull around a bit. Wouldn't be surprised to see him start, though.

I've been looking forward to the start of the season for so long, now it's here I'm extremely nervous about how our team can perform this year.
I know it's only the first game and isn't really an indicator of what's to come but I think we will get beat by a very big Ull side now that they have shaken the Headingly hoodoo. Hopefully it will be a good game and not a loty of points in it, unless we put on a big score but I dont really see that coming against anyone this year.

Re: RD 1 | Leeds Rhinos v Hull FC : Fri Jan 31, 2020 1:30 pm  

I think Agar will go with

Walker
Newman
Sutcliffe
Hurrell
Handley
Lui
Gale
Oledzki
Dwyer
Prior
Ward
Martin
Smith

Subs
Mellor
Myler
Cuthbertson
Holroyd

I'd have Evans or L.Briscoe on Wing with Newman at centre and sutcliffe dropping out personally. Think Holroyd needs to be now Ava isn't available, don't know why the club feel they need to lie to the fans about certain things why make reports Seumanufagai would be fit for round 1 when he probably was never gonna be.

Re: RD 1 | Leeds Rhinos v Hull FC : Fri Jan 31, 2020 2:00 pm  

General opinion on the Hull board is that we will line up like this:

Shaul
Faraimo
Tuimavave
Fonua
Naulago
Connor
Sneyd
Taylor
Johnstone
Sao
Ma'u
Jones
Ellis

Kelly
Griffin
Satae
Savelio

That’s a powerful looking side, feels a bit similar to when watts was there and you won c cup twice.

Is Houghton injured?

Be a real test whether Leeds can hold that side up front especially with Ava out. Plenty of threat from the FC bench as well, Kelly could be handful playing less minutes.

Be a great win for Leeds but I’d be surprised as much as happy.
