We need the strength of KIenhorst and his defensive quality compared to Goulding who is not yet physically matured. I don't see GOulding doing the donkey work that's required coming off our own line out of defence, the saints forwards will eat him for breakfast and spit him out. In time this kid will be a revelation at full back, he might have to wait a few years until HArdaker moves to stand off with the captains arm band! I fear for us Friday, because I don't feel we have clicked and played well for 80 minutes this season. Saints are very good in defence and very fast off the defensive line and at times bordering offside. Leeds are poor when a team get in their face and then lack the go forward as it was plain to see at Warrington. Our forwards are not as big as the SAints pack. To beat them we need to hold them in the middle and shift the ball quickly outside to Watkins and moon and this how we can get around saints IMO. Without Briscoe and Hall I feel the forwards workload will be increased further. Four tough games coming up that will shape our season and if we get two wins from these I will be very happy and feel confident we can finish in the two. Time will tell and we also need luck with injuries I guess.

Mose Mosoe's game stats make very interesting reading.

Ian Kirke would be proud of those stats

One small incident that made Sutcliffe stand out as a class act was how he took the pass for his try. It was a poor pass that he stuck out his right hand for & just let the ball float onto to it without seemingly watching the ball; no desperate grabbing, no change in cadence.

Then again, look at Mitch Achurch.

In his first stint, he didn't touch the ball. neither did any saints player either!
