McNamara got injured in the last reserve game, hopefully Hoy is back, as the other options are poor, McNamara, Lovodua not good enough. Can't see it but I'd rather play Harman.

I know we dont have many options in terms of a replacement half but I’d rather we go with a young player, even call Balmforth back and play him there or move Sutcliffe there with Scott & Carlos as centres. McNamara is injured again so unless he has a miraculous recovery I can’t see him being available. As for Lovodua no offence but he has offered nothing in the halves when played there so other than a body in the 17 I don’t see any benefit playing him there.

Shaul
Swift
Scott
Carlos
McIntosh
Sutcliffe
Clifford
Taylor
Houghton
Fash
Savelio
Lane
Cator

Satae
Brown
Staveley
Dwyer though would prefer giving Balmforth an opportunity.

Good point, forgot it was two games in all the excitement

Would still rather see the club go in a different direction than Lovodua in the half’s as we may as well play Taylor there as he would probably make as much of a difference.

Id start playing those who will be here next season, no point letting Lovodua and Dwyer have another ineffective run around

We say this every year.
I think our season is done, still too much inconsistency in our attitude and play.
It matters not to me if we beat Leeds or not.

Would anyone be surprised if Smith went with Houghton and Clifford in the halves and lovodua/Dwyer at 9?

Play, yes but ever since we put that 7 game horror show behind us I think our attitude has been consistently good this year tbf.

Not in the slightest. A bit disappointed but not surprised.
