Just to highlight it further.

People seen the squad for Sunday?

Missing Peacock, Kirke, McGuire, and Hall. We have suplemented our squad with Watkins, Ratu, and Ben Jones Bishop, with of course Burrow back.

So long the argument has been lack of centre, and here we are with 5 in a 19 man squad. Where is our forwards?

How Danny Allen can not make that squad I will never know. And where is rhinoms great hope of Manning?

Wheres Ambler??

No Steve Parrish either.

Not sure the point you're making?

Kirke (2nd rower) injured is replaced by JJB in the squad (massive improvement).

McGuire is replaced by Burrow in the squad (like for like)

Peacock is not replaced like for like but his work rate is irreplaceable anyway.

Hall is replaced by young threequarters Ratu, BJB and Watkins.

What's your point?

We are already weak weak weak in the forwards. I agree on your JJB for Kirke comment. But we are already weak weak weak.

Our best forward is out, and another is playing stand off. What do we do, we bring in 2 centres and fullback/winger.

If ever there was a game where you were going to use people like, Allen, Ambler, Manning, this is it.

If you can't see the point it's not my problem. You can continue debating that everything is rosy and we have the players to compete.

So why highlght the young threequarters brought into the squad and ignore players like JJB and Burrow to make your point? You were being obtuse.

Look it up.


And an international 2nd rower and an international half back.

So you're saying we have the forwards but the coach chooses not to utilise them? What's your point again?

Its' often difficult to understand what you say and I am not the only one to find them. Perhaps its' because yuo regularly talk bollox. Ta very much.

Are we not competetive?

Surely having a forward playing stand-off increases the physicality of our team?

That said I agree with DISA's concern over the forwards. Hopefully with Peacock missing the rest of the pack will step up and put in more effort, I'm just not sure they are capable of it after seeing the stats from recent performances.

Ask the coach!!


So by your reckoning manning isn't good enough??????
With the coach planning on using senior in the 2nd row along with jjb,ali,disko(when he and buderus are on at the same time) and ablett at 13 how many back-rowers do you want??????
Whilst i agree we look light with the absentees that doesn't mean the squad selected isn't good enough to get the job done nor does it deem manning not good enough.

Why would the coach be contemplating using a centre (the only tried and tested one Leeds have) in the back row if he had confidence in the squad?

Ask him, i'm only referring to what he's said in interviews.

I have..... he said it's for s[ihit[/is and giggles, woop woop.

I think that's what he said.

Yeh baby!!!
