Now we know that we have no further suspensions this week, and assuming we do sign Hardaker, I'd go with:

Hardaker
Tindall
Mellor
Broadbent
Handley
Sinfield
Leeming
Oledzki
Dwyer
Prior
Martin
Gannon
Smith

Donaldson
Thompson
O'Connor
Mustapha

Think it's time to give Max a rest, he needs to consolidate his learning. As soon as Austin or Sezer are available the same applies to young Sinfield.

I’d rather play Simpson than Mellor though. We need to still look ahead and Simpson will be buzzing and wanting to keep his unexpected run in the team going. Mellor offers nothing more at centre imho…..

KR have lost Linnett to a 12 week injury. I expect a youthful team to come to Headingley on Friday with them having the CC Semi final week after, not worth losing more players to injury / suspension / HIA.

We should be looking to put a solid performance in and score some points/ boost morale with another win

In a way I hope so because we desperately need the points. I certainly couldn't see our current decimated line up coping with them at anything like full strength. Just can't recall Tony Smith playing weakened teams before big games before.

I was told last night Austin was having his final assessment Thurs and would play if he passes.

Agree, It would be a great win but seems highly unlikely. We have not been able to rest anyone in this 4 game
Period, had golden point in game 1 and now have 17 year olds backing up for 3 or 4 in a row. I think there is a good chance we will hit the wall. A win would be a fantastic way for the prophet to sign off as interim head coach.

We’re winning this one. Get your sen’s down. Hardaker to score the winner amongst rapturous scene’s and then a pitch invasion to hoist him aloft….!

I’ve been quite impressed with O’Connor the last couple of outings he’s had. Always busy and around the ball and seems to have put some size on too. Good to see him get a run.

It’s Leeds v HKR, not Melchester Rovers…
