Be interesting to see if Kobe is a chip off the old block.

If our 6 and 7 outplay Sezer and Austin I will be happy But been reported that Austin is playing lose forward for Leeds this year be interesting to see how he goes

Don`t think Austin will be playing LF for Leeds this season especially now that Gale has left.
It will be Sezer/Austin in the halves with hopefully Smith at LF and Tetavano at prop.
Jack Sinfield will play 20/30 minutes on Sunday in the halves and he`s only 17.
Like a few on here have said.
It`s a friendly and it gives the kids a chance of playing in front of a decent crowd with no real expectation of them.
Wouldn`t be surprised to see something like a 42-20 score line to Leeds but who cares.

Sezer and Austin will be the outstanding halfbacks partnership in the league.
If our halves for BD get even close I'll be happy.

Good luck to the 2 lads who are on trial hope they go well.yes the squad is weaker than leeds esp in back division and yes we will probably get beat think most will agree there but so what its a friendly and nothing more some players will get valuable experience of playing against a good side and the coaching team can learn more from a defeat then a win somtimes.i dont care if we lose by 100 on sunday if it helps beat hull in first game of the season

I’d rather we didn’t lose by a hundred as a few on here would implode but totally get your point.

Well we won’t know tomorrow as we have neither first choice on display. A lot will depend on Hood, Walker and Kay. If they compete should allow Butterworth and Abrahams to have a go.

There are 11 first team regulars! How is that trialists and juniors? Bit over dramatic or what.

There is enough experience there to guide the youngsters round.

Are these not the perfect games to blood youngsters.

I’m not saying your doing this but many Trinity fans scream that we should give kids a run out and when we do, even in a meaningless game, they pull a face. Really odd

About half the squad are academy players , triallists , - minns, devanitrou, wouldn’t be the starting line up imo , eg Gaskell , possibly crowther

So I stand by what I said, I wasn’t actually criticising as it’s just a friendly and poching had said he was going to give minns and the army guy a run out, also a lot of juniors I ve never seen the likes of Kobe poching et al play

Pack is a lot closer to our starting line up as there’s probably only big Dave not playing ,

Have my ticket and looking forward to it

Don't know enough about the kids. How are we likely to line up?

Surely these are the games he needs to play these players in wouldn't you agree?

Re: Squad for Leeds : Sun Dec 26, 2021 8:30 am  

It's a good time for Crowther to make an early claim for the 13 with Pitts missing.

Re: Squad for Leeds : Sun Dec 26, 2021 8:58 am  

Bring it on cannot wait to get to Headingley regardless of the result really pleased to see some of these lads get a game. This is the next step up for some of them and if our squad is to become more robust with less numbers then this is exactly the type of game to have a go. Ledds have a strong squad named so it's going to be a tough ask. On Jordy it's good to see him captaining the side he clearly has the credentials so all the best lads give it a go nothing to lose lots to gain

Re: Squad for Leeds : Sun Dec 26, 2021 9:30 am  

Leeds have put out a strong squad whilst wakey are missing 9 players 1-8 and Pitts.

Not a bad thing though as there are a lot of promising young and fringe players in that line up who I’m looking forward to seeing play. As others have said it will be invaluable for them.

Hoping for an entertaining game!
