Leeming, Mago, Walters, Byrne

Forber to start, Leeming to bring the bit of speed off the bench. I'm assuming Faz is fit and ready to go, but I'd have no worries throwing Walters in. Shootout between Byrne, Dupree and Hill for the bench spot but I think both Hill and Dupree have been a little out of sorts recently and feel like Byrne off the bench actually brings a little bit more than if he starts.

In the backs, in my mind I was toying with the idea of Eckerley or Douglas on the wing but I think Miskis carrying out from the back could be crucial getting us meters even though he doesn't have top end pace

My 17 would be 1 to 19 (as above) plus Nsemba and Forber.

I think it might be that but with walters for byrne.Both not been fantastic so its a close un.He will probably go with byrne i reckon

South stand sold out

16000 tickets sold as of today

At least 20 coaches from HKR plus the others travelling independently

The stadium was originally going to put their fans in the East stand! Now they’ve opened the North stand.

I can understand the clubs stance originally with the stands as any Yorkshire team rarely bring large numbers anymore but it’s a big game similar to the Salford playoff game a few years ago when the North was packed out.

SOUTH STAND NOW SOLD OUT

Looking forward to this. Decent forecast and our team looks strong. Be a great game.

Hope the forwards get into Lewis Parcel and Litten early on job done

Lewis is one of those you wish you had, Edwards, McGuire, esque. I remember him conducting the fans on the western terrace in the semi when he was getting grief. He thrives on it, quality player.
