Don't think he's the answer, tbh. In any case, I suspect he'll be frozen out until he goes voluntarily or his contract expires unless there are managerial changes.

What I would do is give Tui a shot at FB and keep Sutcliffe and Myler in the halves. Nothing against Walker but we need to screw every inch we can out of this squad performance-wise right now. Maybe Lolohea can add a few percentage points? I'd try it for a couple of games, see what happens, though inevitably not all will agree.

Lolohea could be good at fullback but only if he gets fit.

why???? you all moan about walkers defence but want a fat, one paced, lazy player who can't tackle there!!!
but he can pass so that's ok.i give up

He wouldn't be fat if he got fit. I'm not suggesting he's better than Walker, but he does have a very good pass on him. Both have strengths and issues.

Walker had some nice touches against Catalans, but looked a bit exposed when some of the high kicks went up. His form has been up and down this season, but unless he's injured I don't think it's fair to replace him with Lolohea.

Assuming this can be worked in terms of interchanges, Lolohea might be useful as a sub to cover a number of positions in the backline and inject something different in attack if needed. But then we'd probably have to go without one of Dwyer/Parcell, which might nullify other attacking options.

Whoever we do pick, we need to start seeing MoM performances from some Leeds players in coming weeks. We are getting enough position and posession to win games.
Whilst I still think our forwards need improvement to make us silverware contenders again, the depressing thing has been how exposed our back line has looked.
Again another very interesting selection ahead.

Lolohea on the bench might be a smart call. It’s a case of evolving that squad until it works.

Set tui a weight target and only play him if he keeps to it .full time training and set diet should see him improve he s only young and the pace will come back and his confidence will increase.
When cuthbo and Garbo came the trainers got the pounds of them..
