Yes and lets hope we have more luck with regards player fitness to enablke him to do this.

Fingers crossed espescially for Swift, Savelio, Carlos and Cator who are big players for us but all had such bad luck last season.

Still think Smith will see Taylor and Houghton in his first choice XVII.

Houghton as starting hooker ffs?

Get Dwyer in from day one - he should be our number 9

Yep pretty much how I’d like to see it, though likely Lane will be in 2nd row with Sao on bench. I’d go with McNamare in the halves if Trueman isn’t fit for the start.
Even with the limited changes made during the off season there’s still a few options that can be taken in terms of 17 which can only be good.

But cator hasn't been fit since 2020

How long do you keep praying hoping he stays fit?

Can't keep players on sentiment

And talking of Houghton ( especially ) and taylor they need gone sentiment is 100% why they are still here

Next season will prove how much we've missed a attacking hooker In dwyer

Very harsh on Cator. The kid has had horrendous luck to not only rupture his achilles once but to do it twice you have to feel for him.
Hopefully his bad luck is behind him and he can have an injury free run because there's no doubting we are better side with him in it.

Re: Squad and Team 2023 : Sat Dec 03, 2022 8:17 am  

I've started Dwyer in my team, but his distribution can be very hit and miss. Its why Leeds ended up using O'connor.

I'm sure he'll win us some games with his running threat, as well as frustrate us when he darts off like a headless chicken

He has been unlucky

But becomes a point if it carries on the club can't carry him forever

Cause point is he hasn't played for 2 years
