Dunning has confirmed George Roby has left the club, which would appear to settle that debate.

It still amazes me that even after all these years people still dont have a clue how the judicial system works. Its the same posts every week

Looks like I was right, he may have been becoming a liability with a possible long ban ahead of him.

Re: Batley (H) : Thu Apr 13, 2023 8:37 pm  

He also said he’s likely to go out on loan elsewhere in champ so not that big of a ban incoming. I suspect given amount of loan and dr lads we have options on and with walker coming back Lilley and GF snr will share hooking role and we don’t need to have a hooker using a spot on loan. I also think Lilley looks dangerous from hooker and it’ll be good to see Holmes involved at half back with young Jack nearly fit

Absolutely spot on

Just been reading that Roby has gone to Swinton on loan for the rest of the season.

I really like Lilley at 9 and Holmes in the halves so I’d be tempted to play Jowitt at FB. However Holmes has been class there and like many have said Roby might bring much needed energy. So unsure on this one.

Hopefully we get Tindall this week and Walters/Donaldson.

All named in the 21 man squad but I think Rohan will go with the same 17 as Sunday so a good chance!

I like Roby. Good energy and a bit of
mongrel, but maybe Dunning feels there's a discipline issue there. Sin-bin against Fev (can't remember if he got banned) 1 match ban against Keighley for a trip and is up at the tribunal for a serious offence that could see him suspended for several games.

Re: Batley (H) : Fri Apr 14, 2023 8:09 am  

I would expect to see at least one of the Leeds players return for the Batley game. Ideally Walters or Donaldson as they both played well and made a significant impact during the Halifax game.

Re: Batley (H) : Fri Apr 14, 2023 8:37 am  

With Roby gone I’d 100% love to see Jowitt, Holmes, Patton and Lilley as the spine. Unless Walker is 100% then of course he starts.
