And Wakefield's most prolific scorer sadly out for the season if reports are correct.

I would hope McDonnell would retain his spot given Gannon misses out, however, we will have to see.

Should be an easy win for you lot. We have no attack, a leaky defence and a PE teacher for a coach.

I would play him instead of Donaldson.

Terrible luck for young Murphy. Hope he recovers fully.

I know its just one game but McDonnell looks like a far better all round player than Donaldson, who is such a limited player. He always puts in a big effort, but injuries aside I don't see how he'd get into the 17.

Huh, that's nowt. We ran with JJB for a while. Like having an RE teacher for a coach..

Can't remember the last time we had a full fit backline squad numbers 1-7 available to play together. I think Rohan will go for this match day squad

1. Myler
2. Fusitu'a
3. Newman
4. Macdonald
5. Handley
6. Austin
7. Sezer
8. Holroyd
9. O'Connor
10. Tetevano
11. Mcdonnell
12. Martin
13. Smith

Subs
14. Bentley
15. Lisone
16. Walters
17. Johnson

I think Fusitu'a & Macdonald will be our right side & Newman & Handley our left side we've definitely got some strike in our backline hopefully we get to see it at full force Friday night

Re: SL RD 4 | Wakefield Trinity (H) : Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:40 pm  

I too would go with that 17 JR.
Leeds Rhinos 21-man squad: Richie Myler, David Fusitu'a, Harry Newman, Nene Macdonald, Ash Handley, Blake Austin, Aidan Sezer, Zane Tetevano, James Bentley, Rhyse Martin, Cameron Smith, Jarrod O'Connor, Sam Lisone, Derrell Olpherts, Tom Holroyd, James McDonnell, Sam Walters, Luis Roberts, James Donaldson, Corey Johnson, Leon Ruan.

Also good that we still have Sangare, Leeming, Gannon, Olpherts and Tindall to consider next week and have Mik and Hooley still in with a shout not long after that.

We've actually got a good squad with some decent competition for places. I think we'll see Rohan picking players on form and rotating the squad. Players should have to play their way back into the team as it should be. We've had too many years of players walking back in because there was nobody to realistically take their spot

Re: SL RD 4 | Wakefield Trinity (H) : Wed Mar 08, 2023 4:29 pm  

Sangare injured?
