Quote ="orange trance guru"It is a big plus point for Leeds that Mylers not playing because he is more of an attacking threat than Clarke who i presume the choice was between seeing that monnas is playing 7. Jon Clarke isnt likely to create something out of nothing or race 50m to score a try, however I think Myler is. Also Monnas is a much better 9 than he is 7 and is probably the form 9 in SL this season.
I think that Tony Smith has gone with a bigger team that will try and bully the Streamlined Leeds pack rather than play there natural game which could be there downfall.
Although there are several players i would have prefered Smith to have dropped instead I am now more confident that Leeds can win this game.'"
Pay no attention to the idea that Monaghan will play scrum-half. TS has picked 17 players to win the cup, and the formation will be fluid enough to allow Monas to fulfill the dummy-hald playmaking role that he has made his own. Higham is hardly a heavyweight compared to Myler, so this switch is no way a 'bullying' tactic. Clarke and Higham definitely are, however, and to contradict you completely, both' likely to create something out of nothing or race 50m to score a try'.
