Doesn't matter now. We go with what we have.
I'd rather have 17 fit players than risk anyone.

How come? For me seems a shoot out between Shaw and Faatili, and I’d rather see Faatili spell. Also think Croft can spell with Vagana if needed (just returning from injury and tired easily last year), and cover if we need to reshuffle our back line. With Atoni out, I’d like to see:

Jowitt
Walmsley
Pratt
Hall
Johnstone
Trueman
Lino
McMeeken
Hood
Rodwell
Storton
Vagana
Pitts

Doyle (Russell if not fit)
Uele
Faatili
Croft

I'd go with that team, except I might start Croft and bring Uele, Faatili and Vagana on for big impact.

Remember Kelepi coming back too soon a couple of years back

Leeds are at full strength apart from Sivo.
It's just a case of whether they play the new centre with Handley on the wing or play tge kid on the wing.

Yes and let’s not forget we have only a 5 day turnaround to KR. If Vagana is fit he plays but if not I’d probably have Doyle or Roarke on bench.

Jowitt
Walmsley
Pratt
Hall
Johnstone
Trueman
Lino
Mckmeeken
Hood
Rodwell
Croft
Storton
Pitts

Russell
Uele
Faatilli
Vagana

He is but as Connor is there I'm thinking Miller was not a starter anyway.

Just happened to catch up on the Trinity-Cas friendly and I have to say I was disappointed with Trinity's go forward. Contrary to the reports it seemed Cas made more yards and we struggled. Leeds will have a very fast line speed and I'm not sure we have the arsenal to deal with it. Going to be a tough afternoon so on that basis I see Matty Russell starting on the wing.

Just shows you then how pointless stats are when Wakefield won convincingly!
I don't think walmsley was to blame for that but he does, for some reason, be the one a lot on here believe is the weakest link.
