Will the Connor centre/full back tactic work 2 games in a row?

We've got genuine options in the spine for what feels like the first time this season.

Walker/Connor
Simm
Mitch
Wynne/Connor
Mcintosh
Smith
Gale
Evans
Houghton
Taylor
Lane
Longstaff
Fash

Satae/Laidlaw
Brown
Lovodua
AN Other

Connor at Loose Centre and Wynne for Simm for me.

Ma'u might be back so our team is pretty decent on paper. That won't stop us comceing 50 unanswered points in 20 minutes though.

Would be a huge win for our season if we could pull it off. Salford and Leeds playing each other means someone will be dropping points and Cas away to Saints is far from an easy trip even with the issues Saints seem to have.

Injuries on either side should even it out somewhat. Huddersfield are a very methodical side, keeping composure will be key towards getting the two points. Confidence should be high after last week and with a couple bodies back I think we have a fair chance.

Pretty much the same side for me as we don't currently have many luxuries in terms of being able to select from a fully fit squad. Obviously if Satae & Ma'u are 100% fit to play then they come in, Wynne I'm torn as whilst his exuberance to play and will to win in good he needs to control the hot headedness he showed against Cas. Wonder whether Lovodua will be back in the squad after the report of illness?
Think Connor has to stay with the a free roaming role where ever he is played but think it will likely be centre again with Walker at FB and Smith at 6.

Its going to be a very tough game at Huddersfield but its one that is certainly winnable if the team turn up with the right attitude and mind set, they just have to go set for set, be controlled, composed, patient and apply pressure rather than try and score on every play. It'll be interesting to see if they can back up last Fridays performance with another improved effort.

Huddersfield are a class above, Wynne has had a decent season, except for the Cas game where he lost his cool.

Would you not bring back Satae and Lovodua then, if sticking with the same side?

No send out the right message

same team for me unless we have some forwards coming back

Re: So onto Huddersfield. : Tue Aug 02, 2022 4:14 pm  

Satae, Lovodua and Ma'u come back in for me if available.

Wynne is a different story.

Wynne show’s he wants to be a Wynner, pardon the pun. Partington is very rarely dropped but has the same hot headedness. Take it out of their game and you don’t have the same player.

Re: So onto Huddersfield. : Tue Aug 02, 2022 6:12 pm  

Coming up for this game.

Hopefuly we’ll be boosted by our win in Toulouse and hopefully few more bodies back.

Will be a tough game. Huddersfield have turned into a very tough team to beat. A win would be great, but regardless we must have more fight and no more capitulations.

Looking forward to see how Smith goes and hopefully more offloads from Evans with players backing up to create more chances.

Evans played well against a beaten pack plus twelve men, I’ll reserve judgment until Friday. I thought Taylor played the best game of the season, bodes well.
