Will impact attendance too. Not good at all

Rhinos have done the 2 tickets for a tenner offer though for season ticket holders to bring people along. So that should mean decent attendance.
I could not get any takers though, not sure what that says about me or the Rhinos. I even promised they could sit in a different stand.
And Huddersfield should fill a couple of taxis to get over.

Going to be interesting with Gannon moving forward. He looks far too good to be playing off the bench.

I agree.
But equally both Martin and Bentley have done well and we will rotate at some stage anyway.

Agree - but who do you leave out? Martin? Bentley? Good to see a bit of competition for places, in the forwards at least!

Huddersfield finally can name a 21 man squad with pryce back from suspension- but likely he won’t feature unless we have training injuries or Watson decides to try something a bit left field in the three quarters.
Pryce, leutele, Lolohea, fages, hill,Levi, Lawrence, McQueen, Yates, English, greenwood, trout, O’Brien, Wilson, cudjoe, senior, Russell, senior, mason, Hewitt, king,

Think we will go
Tui
Leroy
King
Leutele
Senior
Russell
Fages
Hill
Levi
Wilson
Hewitt
McQueen
Yates
English,greenwood, trout, O’Brien

Forecast for Thursday is perfect rugby weather- was a thrilling game last time round.

Re: RD 25 | Huddersfield Giants (H) : Mon Aug 22, 2022 4:05 pm  

I'd personally go for this 17.

Myler
Fusitu'a
Hardaker
Sutcliffe
Handley
Austin
Sezer
Oledzki
O'Connor
Tetevano
Gannon
Martin
Bentley

Subs
Leeming
Prior
Walters
Mustapha/ Briscoe

I wouldn't through Leeming straight into starting he's missed a lot of rugby of last few months & O'Connor has been doing a great job as starting 9 in Leeming's absence and when Leeming comes on O'Connor could be moved to 13. I'd maybe have Briscoe on the bench to cover injuries we know how games can go like with injuries so having a back on bench could be beneficial. All our current forwards who are available can easily do big minutes so wouldn't be waste of a bench spot having Briscoe on there imo and would also ease him back into playing if he's required over next few weeks I'm play off push. Leaving Dwyer isn't a big loss imo as he can produce some magic at times buy that second half against Warrington we looked a worse team with him on Leeming can have same impact as Dwyer off the bench but is more steady in his decision making and pass selection imo.

so it is and I knew that as I’m elsewhere on Thursday so can do this game now - - still good forecast!
