Huddersfield lost again, and play the top 6 and Leeds in their next 7 games. Reckon they could see us as a potential scalp and will be itching for the win. I predict another ugly one for us to get stuck in to.

Well it's not really a case of him walking back in. We have missed him and are a better attacking team with him in the side.

I'd go with Michaels and Naughton on the wings with Carlos back in the centres. Micheals has been excellent recently. Tough decision with Talanoa though, granted.

Tend to agree. Radders loves Talanoa's metres out of our own half though. Depends what the plan is against Huddersfield. Think our game probably got a bit harder, unless Anderson's lost the dressing room.

Michaels has done really well in recent weeks, but he just doesn't offer what Talanoa does. He's such a handful for defences. He breaks tackles, he gets quick ptb's and he wins penalties, if Talanoa had speed he'd be as good a winger as any in the league. Michaels tries his heart out but he's just a bit small. If the bin man is fit he plays imo, and out of Naughton and Michaels it has to be Naughton for me.

Agree - I think Talanoa is a better option than Michaels for bringing the ball up in our own half against this particular opposition who have a physical back line. Yeaman has made a big difference in both defense and attack so keep him in until/if that changes.

I can't believe Huddersfield won't bounce back to some degree. You don't become a bad team overnight - we should know, it's taken us decades.

Exactly. Increasing levels of desperation for the bottom clubs at the moment. On the other hand an opportunity if other results go our way to take 3rd spot after playing everyone once. Crazy times.

Crazy indeed - and whilst that's happening in the top-8 it's kind of heart-warming to know that Leeds must already be wondering at what point their hopes of competing for the Grand Final might actually die completely.

2nd if things really go our way. Wouldn't write Wakefield off.

Chester's had a good Easter though, certainly. Shackles off and all that.

Ha. As long as we get the win I'm not bothered if we stay in 5th tbh. We just need to keep churning out results and the table will work out eventually.

Spot on, that's the team I would pick. Although I am pretty sure that Ellis picked up a rib injury against Saints so he might be a doubt.
