If that happens then the club really need To look at the coaching structure as there are plenty of others that need dropping first including Daryl if a bad game means your immediately out

Similar last year though, played well at fullback when Dufty was out, dropped for 1 game, back in on the wing for Wigan away and was one of the better players, then dropped again.

And the stats posted about Dudson would suggest he should be dropped. Why was I not born a Widnes fan.

The Rhinos welcome back Papua New Guinea international Nene Macdonald after he completed his return to play protocol following concussion. Tom Holroyd is also back in contention after missing the last three games.
Justin Sangare misses out this week with a foot injury.
Leeds are still without the long term injured players Harry Newman, Zane Tetevano and Morgan Gannon and Cam Smith has not trained all week but is in the 21.

The squad in full is:

1 Richie Myler
2 David Fusitu'a
4 Nene Macdonald
5 Ash Handley
6 Blake Austin
7 Aidan Sezer
8 Mikolaj Oledzki
11 James Bentley
12 Rhyse Martin
13 Cameron Smith
14 Jarrod O’Connor
15 Sam Lisone
16 Derrell Olpherts
18 Tom Holroyd
19 James McDonnell

One of us must be misremembering then.

Also, Dufty didn’t play.

Not sure we even need the stats for that, the naked eye is enough to see he doesn’t deserve a spot. Green should get a shot again, not big shoes to fill

You're right about dufty, it was wrench on the wing not thewlis, hut 2nd half they bombed the crap out of the back 3.

Thats scarred in my head as a night as it was my lads first away game and it was bloody awful.

I made a point of telling him to not look miserable in the last 10 minutes as sky will be looking for wire fans with slapped booty faces

While they did get a bit of a bombardment, I came away quite impressed with them and how they kept turning up. Just had a look out of interest and Thewlis made 170 meters, one error. 5 tackle busts and a clean break. Not deserving to be dropped the next week, in my opinion. Joint most meters (Ashton) and joint most busts (Williams).

My big concern with Dufty at 6 is his defence - I'm just not sure he's up to it and will get seriously targeted by Leeds.

I can't see Powell dropping Dudson either, but I'd certainly be tempted given his stats in the last game.

The best defence is attack.
If Dufty turns the status quo on hits head. Formality.
