Looks like the club are putting on a bit of an effort for Friday. The reserves are playing at 17:30 and then Clint Boon is going a 50 min DJ set prior to KO too.

Getting Ellis back for the cup game would be very handy. Think he said 4 weeks after the wakefield game, so fingers crossed

"Liam Marshall was touch and go with a lower abdominal injury, he was playing through the pain in the run up to the international break and we thought the week off would do him good, but it was a tricky one.

“Cade (Cust) did a full session today, and got good feedback back from the physio. Kaide (Ellis) certainly won’t be this week or the next few weeks. We will end up with a few bodies back at the same time.”

Ryan Hampshire could also make his second debut with Peet saying: “Ryan is certainly in the mix and we will see how he goes.”

Thanks for the quotes.

It would be hard to drop Thornley after his performance but will be glad to have Marshall back.

I’m no Cust fan but would be a boost to have him back as opposed to Shorrocks (who can help us out in the forwards).

Isa and Cust in the squad. I’d certainly be looking to get a game in to Cust, if we then want him to play next week in a cup game. I’d probably look at pushing Smithies up to prop for this one and use Shorrocks at 13 to start (with a possible move to 6 if Cust needs a breather late on).

I’d go-

French
Miski King Wardle Marshall
Cust Smith
Smithies Powell Havard
Isa Farrell Shorrocks

Subs
Mago Byrne KPP O’Neill

Re: Leeds (H) : Wed May 10, 2023 12:44 pm  

You'd hope either Cust or Hampshire will start at 6, fair play to Shorrocks for putting his hand up but our points for have just dried up, really need a half back at half back

Re: Leeds (H) : Wed May 10, 2023 1:09 pm  

Peet will have to decide which of Cust and Hampshire is most ready for the cup game next week so maybe they will both get some game time. Its an important 2 points but the absolute be all and end all. The bench still a big issue with Mago essentially a passenger at the moment - I think we can add him to the list of poor front row recruits Radlinski and co.

Re: Leeds (H) : Wed May 10, 2023 1:54 pm  

Reserves play at Robin park at 17:30 before the game.

Hampshire should get 80 minutes under his belt in that game.

In terms of making ground and cutting out his errors, he’s doing better IMO but defensively he’s an accident waiting to happen. His lack of intent and willingness to bend his back is so so poor. Satae walked about 20-25 metres last week with Mago pawing at him.

KPP was worse, completely gave up and fell off him. Amazed he will be in the NRL next year.
