Never said I wanted him to leave.
I said he's becoming a disappointment.
When he's played he's done OK, but no more than that.

No comparison with Newman.
Newman has proved his quality and potential at Leeds.
But of course, his injury record is also a big concern.

I always think overseas signings need a grace period to settle in,different cultures etc.McKenna didn't light up the team in his first year, in fact I think he had a chest injury in the first year.He did ok in the subsequent years, so Fuzzy should be accorded a little leeway imo.As it goes, on the spectrum of disappointing overseas signings,he's nowhere near a Paul Bell,Ben Waker,Ben cross ,Joe what's is name,the winger who made minus meters when bringing the ball out.Even Merrin was a disappointment to say he was a marquee signing.Concussion protocols and disgraceful disciplinary calls have not helped Fuzzys case.

Would be surprised if Mikolaj makes it ,and not sure on Bodene since he has been missing out recently.I would go with the above moving Walters and Muzzy in their place.

Sezer plays.
Big Mik almost certain to play.

Let’s hope so.

Roll call, I’m going over the hill, who’s coming?

Me too. Looks like there could be somewhere in the region of 4k going. Should be a great atmosphere win or lose.

Wigan have a huge number of props in their squad so no way we run with 3 hookers in a 17. O’Connor to start and leeming from the bench (and also cover half back). Agree on starting 13 bar Leeming. Bench should be Leeming, Tetevano, Walters, Donaldson.

Totally agree.
We need Walters in the 17.
O'Connor to start at 9, Leeming off the bench.
Dwyer to miss out.
