Agreed, if this is true and Hooley doesn’t get picked he may as well leave.

Wow, big news if true. Any chance of Liam Sutcliffe on loan! Or maybe we'll play Gannon at full back!

In all seriousness though, this could be the making of Hooley if he gets a chance. Maybe a few guaranteed starts and he'll acclimatise to SL after his shocking start against HKR. That's if we don't play Hanley there.

Hooley about to play at Wembley with Batley cannot see the club pulling him back until after that, be a shame for him to miss that. Likely Handley will be fullback.

Hooley has to play after the game against Leigh.
At least we will have some pace at the back, not too sure about his defence though at this level.

Though we’re already missing one winger with fusitua out.

Return of the Olpherts

I don't think anyone, including Rohan's, that sure about his defence at this level. And only one way
any of us is likely to find out

Hooley has to be given a chance otherwise as has been said why is he there! He can't be judged on one shocking performance on a terrible night at HKR when the majority of the team where not much better. If he is not selected it raises the question of who made the decision to sign him. If it was a Smith call why not play him and give him a chance. Myler will be a miss but in reality this season is probably done so it's an opportunity to look at more pace at full back which is allegedly what we are pursuing in terms of developing the squad with our recruitment.

If Myler is crocked Hooley should play regardless of whether Batley are at Wembley next week. Handley should stay where he belongs, on the wing.

Can Hooley do both - play for Leeds this week and Batley next - that would require some common sense!!

Agreed he is a contracted Leeds player and in all likelihood we need to win 6 of the last 7 games to be assured of qualifying for the play offs. No more square pegs in round holes!

Is Myler definitely crocked?
Only place I've seen it mentioned is on here
