With Leeming out for the season, we should give Johnson an extended run at 9.
See what he's got.
Dwyer off the bench.
Without any fit halves it should be Myler and Sinfield or Smith.

I agree Simmo lets give Corey a good run as starting 9.
We now have a free hit for the remainder of the season as we're not even guaranteed getting a play off place.
Corey definitely has the best passing game of all of our current 9's at the club, Plenty of game time will help to develop his game management skills at SL level, Although they have always been very good whilst coming up through the academy system

I just think Smith fancies O'Connor at 9.
Could really affect Johnson's development if he doesn't get the chance.

I think now Dwyer is confirmed going it’ll be a combination of O’Connor and Johnson at hooker, and rightly so.

Re: 2022 | Injuries & Suspensions : Tue Jul 19, 2022 7:35 pm  

Suspect he'll go O'Connor and Dwyer to keep a bit of control at the ruck but we'll see

I agree, but we’ll see.

I much prefer Myler at FB.
Saying that it means Hardaker to RC and Sutcliffe to SO.
Both Myler and Sutcliffe are poor in the halves along with Johnson.
Can Zak play in the halves!?

What the hell is this mystery knee injury to Walters that Smith was on about ?

I think it could be quite a bad one but Smith didn't want to speculate - that's how I interpreted it

Yeah. He said something along the lines of it being a rare injury, even to the specialists.
