Yeh, with Gannon and Martin out, we're looking short in the back row.

If Handley, Newman and Fusitua are fit, maybe Sutcliffe will move to back row.

I like O'Connor starting at 9 and Leeming off the bench.

Smith to start at 13 for me.

Tet, Leeming, Walters & Donno off the bench.

Briscoe and Tindall as back up 3/4's if any of the others don't make it.

Yep. If all available that would be how I would go. Would have a fighting chance.

is there any chance of Thompson being back for this one? i dont remember hearing an update on him in a while

Doubt it mind. Leeds have appealed against Martins ban and hearing rumours that Fusitua, Newman, Handley and Oledzki will all be available.

Appealed against Martin's ban again?

Yeah they’ve appealed against the frivolous extension, like they did Newman’s ban earlier in the season

And that ended well

What a bizarre system that you can make an appeal, have it labelled frivolous then make another appeal, with no increase even if it said second appeal was frivolous.

Well there was no added game so might as well have a go even to waste their time for shts and giggles.

Free Rhyse Martin

In best Duchess of Sussex stylee, could we compare Rhyse’s plight to Mandela’s struggle for freedom ?

Without Martin I feel we go with:



Myler, Fusitua/Briscoe, Newman, Hardaker, Handley, Austin, Sezer, Oledzki, Leeming, Prior, Bentley, Donaldson, O’Connor



Dwyer, Tetevano, Smith, Sutcliffe.
