It’s a shame Hurrel is missing, Leeds fans are desperate to love him but against us at least he always looks a liability.
Kyle Wood is a big miss, Josh Wood is a good defender but a terrible passer. I hope Liam Kay plays as he can defend, was really surprised that we took Senior on loan as in the games last season it showed he either cant defend or didn't want to defend. Liam Kay started out as a half back he came through the Bradford Academy as a 7 and I think also represented England academy at 7. I remember it was a real coup when we signed him first time round. Hope Arundel gets a start. I like the idea of Rocky playing at 9, he is a natural footballer, he is rapid, has a great fast pass both left and right and is a top defender. That said I think he is joint first choice full back with Jowitt , he is obviously our first choice 7 given that no one has seen Lino play I simply don't understand how Lino is some posters first choice, Rocky would also be my first choice 6, Jowitt would be 2nd, Walker 3rd, Kay 4th, Westerman 5th and Miller 6th
Would think their backs would be myler at full back , briscoe and briscoe on wings , jack broadbent in one centre Alex sit life in other with east mind and Gayle in the halves or east mind at full back .
Significantly weaker than walker , briscoe , Newman , hurrel lui and Gayle although we are lacking jowitt other than that it’s our first choice backs so really will be interesting to see if we play to our theoretical strengths

For me the biggest miss is jowitt and hampshire as it means walker has to play who was shocking v dewsbury

No, he isn't our first choice HB and never has been in all the time he's been with us or with any other club, wanting it to be so doesn't make it so.
You may not have seen Lino play but you must realise CC will have, he doesn't strike me as a man who would sign a player blind. Nobody is going to bring an NRL HB all this way and not try him straight away, come on. If he's gash then nows the time to find out, then I suppose Ryan will get another go.

Agreed, that's the real miss, I'd have had either of those in before Walker.
His biggest single failure for me is that he can't handle the high ball nor does he command his backline. I'm afraid that for me he was a player who suited London but isn't really a SL player. That said if he wants to feed me humble pie I'll gobble it down. But it will be a busy night for him because Agar and Gale will have noticed and will bomb him all night long, if they don't they have failed in their mission.
