Yep, if we have aspirations of troubling other teams in the post season then these are the kind of games we need to be winning.


In fact, the circumstances around this game should give it a play off type feel. 


I really don't want us getting into Burgess-esque excuses if we don't. 

Usual from a Powell-led side I imagine. Quick PTB , looking for metres around the ruck or pushing it wide at speed. We need O'connor and Ackers to keep it tight - and Hall to defend his touch line. He's toast if he doesn't. Pack needs to match theirs but fairly confident we can win this.

Brad Arthur has confirmed Cam Smith is now a doubt for this game with a back injury, our pack is looking really depleted atm he also confirmed Ethan Clark-Wood might have suffered a season ending shoulder injury in training I can see that being the end of his Career at Headingley.

Shame really as he looked to have some pace.
Can we deregister him and bring a prop in from the NRL?
Warrington seem to be able to do it without deregistering players.
I fancy Wakefield by possibly 10.

Just seen Hamlin and Vagana missing for them which is a big loss and Johnstone out injured again.
Both packs depleted but think Holy Trinity will edge it.

No we can't deregister. My understanding is you can only deregister if, as was the case with Sivo, a player suffers a season ending injury before he's played a competitive game. If we can somehow get through this week ( like you I think Wakey our favourites) I think we might have one or two back in contention for the Leigh game.
