So Dave hasn't picked up a ban and Lino looked fully fit in the reserves on Saturday, so hopefully we can build on Friday's performance and finally get our first win of the season against a stuttering Leeds side ??
It looks as though they could have two or three players back (Martin, Newman, Fusitua ??) but hopefully we can still turn them over

Lineham injured and Tanivalu leaving the field could mean we see Murphy get his debut on the right wing. We certainly won’t lack speed or pace.

Being at home I fancy us to come out with a win. Leeds won’t make it easy for us but we have just played both grand finalists and played well in defeat.

On form I think we should win but Leeds need this now and will be really targeting us.
We need to be at our best.

What and we don't, this the best time to get into them and hit them hard what was looking like a strong Leeds side they are floundering at the bottom and could end up losing confidence

Anything other than 2 points will be very disappointing.

Murphy is obviously an option, but don't forget Kaye can play there too, so he may get the nod purely based on experience, with Bowes and Crowther sharing the hooking role, Walker at 13 and Miller and Lino in the halves ??

Never a better time to get one over on the rhinos ,their low on confidence and still way off where they need /should be .No worries about our defence as we manned up brilliantly against saints ,get Lino back in the fold to help unlock their defence and hopefully jobs a good un .

W P is not a Coach that fits square pegs in round holes so can not see J C been hooker

Murphy for me.
Keep Kay at hooker with Bowes.

Worries me about centre if Minns and Hall both got knocks.

What we hear all the time is if we had a bit more luck go our way, it is our turn to make sure it does. It may not always work for every club but it does appear to do so far more often than us over the last few seasons.

we shouldn't be cocky and overconfident .. confident yes but hubris is a danger... they will be desperate for the two points and we have to match or beat their desperation and desire ... anything less and we lose.

keep up the application in defence and be firmer in application

Im enjoying the development of this group of players.. very much!

ps just watched the first half of the reserves... Tanginoa was playing at bending the line... almost 20 meters post contact yards on several occasions, yet he still looked at 3/4 intensity

After listening to tonights podcast sounds like a few more out on thursday with more youngsters making debuts
