I can't believe you would leave Joe Law out sfter last week. He'd certainly be in before Williams for me.

Both our wins this year have come with Wood and Williams in partnership. I'd keep 'em together if both fit. 

[Expatknight]

Ben Littlewood coming on loan from Leeds apparently.

Maybe not. Just watched pre match interview. He's picked up another knock. He's 50/50. 

Mash didn't seem overly confident on Richardson 

[Rooney's Ears]

Jon Bennison - Later this month

Will Roberts - Failed HIA

Will Dagger - Carrying another bump, assessing how it settles down.

Danny Richardson - A week to early

Sam Wood - Back in contention

BJB - 10 to 12 weeks

Jordy T - Couple of months

Toa - 6 weeks at best

Liam - quite a while

[only 2 weeks away]

Dont care which 17 we put out, cos they will give their all, just hope for 2 things....

first we dont play P Mac at 7, you lose so much not having him at 9

second, we defend for the first 20 mins for a change so the games not gone before we actually get going.

[HaxbyKnight]

As long as Macca is on the field, he should play 9 in my opinion. Listening to Mash Richardson looks doubtful, so play Nikau alongside Ata. Please though don't have Nikau at full back, he's not great at tackling, and his positional play is shocking.

[Rooney's Ears]

I would like to see us doing 2 things - 

1 - Pass the ball along the line more where there is a dummy runner that runs through the line and the ball continues to flow along the line to the wing. We tend to score when we do this but don't do it often enough.

Even Huddersfield did this against us numerous times and scored from it. But having a good quality half back pairing would of helped with this i guess.. Leigh will do this on Friday now they have Cook, Lam and Ipape playing.

2 - Attack the high ball more, the amount of times the ball is kicked high but no pressure from any Knights players.

[Simon Hall]

Cody Hunter is in the squad for Friday, I'd have him straight in at 7.

Do you mean like against KR when we we opted to drop out short from under the sticks...and then not really bothering to contest it?

Pretty much been the same any short drop out or short kick off

Agreed I’m very happy with that squad considering what’s available only change I’d have made is law in for Buchanan but that’s not possible as we’d have had to many loanees 

[KH17]

1. Nof/Harrison 2. Harrion/Nof 3. Buchanan 4. Wood 5. Galeano 6. Hingano 7. Hunter 8. Va'a 9. Macca 10. Vaughan 11. Field 12. Dee 13. Cook

14. Balmforth 15.Hudson 16. Martin 17. Littlewood 18.Griffin/Sangare

Interesting that Nikau has been dropped completley, maybe carrying a knock, but I reckon he's gonna play for Newcastle to try and build some confidence back up or something like that.

Only change for me would be Bennison at full back/wing

Listening to Mash, my guess is that Bennison and Hudson are making up the numbers, though I'm happy to be proved wrong .IF Bennison is fit, then Myles at full back, Bennison on the wing, and Nofa in the centre alongside Wood.

[Rooney's Ears]

AJ Towse in the squad for Leigh.

[HaxbyKnight]

Can anybody explain why we can Include Cody Hunter, yet in previous weeks, we couldn't select, Vuniyayawa? 

[Cam varley]

Aj v myles would be a good battle on the wing against each other

thunder dont play again till sat 25th, id guess it would be a pembo/williams half back pairing on available evidence
