Absolutely this. Wouldn’t be an issue. Handley only our 3rd best winger anway. Both Briscoes now should be ahead of him when all fit.

Id rather see Iwan Stephens or Broadbent given a shot if Handley is out.

Silly talk.

Evans would be a good call,old club point to prove?

Completely agree with both points Marty!

I thought they targeted Dywer a lot with the likes of Pauli Pauli going at him but he hung in there and made the crucial break for Gale to get us back in it. Both Dwyer (37 tackles) and Cam Smith (50 tackles) did a decent job which opened a path for Cuthbo and Myler to bring some fresh energy and mobility in the middle. Loved how Oledski responded to our fans singing his name with a big kick-off return and then a try shortly afterwards.
I'm not generally a fan of comparing players past and present but have to say Newman plays with an aggression that reminds me of Senior.

Said for years that all being equal Harry has the edge over watkins in terms of potential owing on top of his athletic attributes to his desire and aggression.

Always been a club Leeds with top centres. Innes Iro Carol Senior Watkins Moon and now Newman looking the real deal.

Agreed, we'v been spoilt for good centres over many decades. For me theres no better sight in rugby league than a quality Centre in full flight. Great to see young Newman looking like he's the next off the production line.

As a massive fan of Jack Broadbent aswel, its good to see Newman settling in on the right hand side so well, coming through the grades they both looked much better on the left.

On Handleys replacement against Warrington if he's out, it would be Liam Tindall for me, im not saying he is or isnt a better talent than Stephens long term, but right now he's more Physically and Mentally ready to play Wing in the first team imo, he understands whats needed in the yardage game better than just about any young winger iv seen, his work rates fantastic and he's big enough to hold his own.
