JP is the obvious choice, but I'd hate to be without Ali at the 'business end', inspirational and, on his day, the most gifted player in SL.

Up until the GF last year webb would of been high on my list but now i'd say JP or Senior.

Given the centre situation, Senior. We'd be cut to ribbons without him IMO.

Peacock or Senior, Peacock is our only go forward and Keith because we have issues in the centres..

Also at the business end of the season why cant we decide on one centre and stick with him. We are trying a different player each week and now is the time to get some stability.

Spotted ya pal!!

Because that centre (Smith) has been deemed to be necessary at full back in Webb's unspecified injury absence.

Personally I'd have left Smith alone and used Ben Jones-Bishop at full back (while Webb is missing) but I'm not the coach nor have all the information available to the coach when making his decision.

Got injured in the reserve match against HKR looked like an arm or shoulder injury!

That certainly limited McClennan's options last weekend. He also shifted Smith to full back for the recent away game at Hull, was Jones-Bishop sick noted that week as well?

I'm not sure but he has missed a few reserve match's this year after having a shoulder reconstruction in the off season so he was always playing catch up with his match fitness anyway.

With Sinfield missing for the Hull KR match the Leeds kicking game went to pot and nobody seemed to be organising us in midfield. Even though they managed to turn it round in the second half I thought Leeds looked a poorer side without him.

Deemed fit enough to play 1st grade against Salford at Easter. I hoped he'd have been pressing for some more gametime at full back this season in Webb's absences. I've liked what I've seen so far and think it's particularly unfair on Smith, expected to plug the problem right centre position one minute then dragged away to cover full back the next.

I'd agree.

The coach has selection options and appears, not for the first time, to have taken the wrong one - in our humble opinions.

I thought Ratu showed enough to suggest he'd be worth a punt over the next few games if Webb isn't fit. Get him to use his size a bit more and he could be a good centre IMO.

Blueys use of Smith at fullback is probably indicative of the fact that he deems whoever will now fill in at centre more experienced than BJB.

Or its more pressing to get experience for the centres as next year we will be losing smith, but Webb should still be here.

Or he could be clueless, and select his team using some complicated random player generator

Personally, it woild have to be Ali. Fantastic player and great attitude.

However, I think we will miss Smith come the end of the season, especially if we are still having problems with Webby.

We wouldn't miss Peacock, Bailey could carry the pack, no problem.

Gareth.

Jones-Bishop being injured and not an option probably played some part in McClennan's decision last weekend.



Finding Smith's replacement is more pressing than finding Webbs so that could well be the reason he went for Gibson at Hull and Ratu at Wigan.



Unlikely, despite the rumours on here.

I sould have used a

Not neccessarily, it's a myth that is gathering in popularity round these parts.

After last weeks game it's obviously clear that the Rhinos wont miss worrall should he unfortunately be injured

JP. Obviously.

Without a shadow of a doubt – we rely on JP far too much for the ‘hard yards’. His departure would leave the biggest hole in the Leeds squad without question.

Think we would miss Sinfield more than anyone else run a close second by Peacock and then Ali

Bradford fan in peace but I'd say Keith Senior. Get's loads of stick from all directions but he still is and has been for a long time Britains best Centre.

Has to be Manning
