Thought about that aswell BT but i think the week after when we play the Broncos will be the best chance to "rotate"!!

Fair Point!

Although, i would look at that game for giving JP a week off.Can't see any rotating happening though TBH, and if it does happen i expect BJB to be brought into the backline and Singleton to be the one to be left out from the pack.

I too would personally save the rotations (thinking Peacock and Delaney) until the week after when we have London at home on the Friday. Saints away follows that and they don't play until the Sunday (admittedly only Wakey) but we straight away will have a longer turn around for that big match.

1. Hardaker
20. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
13. Sinfield
6. McGuire
23. Singleton
9. Achurch
10. Peacock
12. Ablett
15. Delaney
14. Ward

7. Burrow
8. Leuluai
11. Jones-Buchanan
16. Bailey

So the 'bench warmer' has resorted to beating up a team mate and nabbing his shirt to get a gig ?

I imagine that if rotation is to be done it will be done on people with niggles or tweaks that would benefit from a week's rest. I would say of all people in the team peacock is least in need of a rest as he has shown that his body is hardened to week in week out games. It'd obviously be best if he was fresher, but the people are in need of rest should be given it rather than based on an over-simplified model

True, if one of the other props has a better reason for being rested then ok. Just taking into account it's London then even our much maligned lesser front row options should be able to do the job in that game.

Ablett sounds like the worry this week, we should be ok going like this in the forwards without him.....

Leuluai
Aiton
Peacock
Ward
JJB
Delaney

Burrow
Achurch
Bailey
Singleton

for London I'd line up

2. Ben Jones-Bishop
20. Tom Briscoe
3. Kallum Watkins
4. Joel Moon
5. Ryan Hall
1. Zak Hardaker
7. Rob Burrow
23. Brad Singleton
9. Paul Aiton
16. Ryan Bailey
11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan
19. Mitch Achurch
14. Stevie Ward

8. Kylie Leuluai
13. Kevin Sinfield
18. Chris Clarkson
17. Ian Kirke*

*if fit, if not 15. Brett Delaney

And people think I am crazy

A guy whose preferred position is fullback at fullback, a scrum half at scrum half, and one experiment in a guy who played his youth rugby at stand off, playing at stand off.

Other than that props at prop, second rows at second row etc etc.

So pretty much nothing like yours.

So you really think Sinfield's (the captain, remember?) best position is on the bench?

Ah but you just know he won't don't ya..... Just look at last season.

Delaney, JJB, Peacock will continue to be selected ( by themselves ) until they are close to expiration.

I think tonight could be a bit of a banana skin for Leeds, Betts has his lads playing well and will be charged for tonight. If we go into this game with any complacency we'll get turned over.

This is the kind of team you may put out against Milford who have some how made it through to the 4th round of the CC not a Super League team who are currently one place below us in the table.

P.S. Sinfield on the bench.... ???????????????????????????

FB-That's his suggested line p for next week v the Broncos.

Oops -







I really should learn to read.

Even so - Sinfield on the bench....????????????????????????????

I'll be wearing a polo shirt and lambs wool jumper......and that's just for the curry in Tariq's beforehand, gets nippy in there! I'll have the good old North Face jacket on for the match, not one of the skinny little ones, a proper big one for climbing Mount Everest. No goose pimples for me.

If i was a gambling man i'd go for Bailey and Hall missing out tonight.

Confirmed BJB and Bailey in, Hall and Singleton out.

There's a 'slight breeze'.

It 'might rain'.

Couldn't get to the game it am working. Is BJB playing outside Watkins?

He is.

I hope that shuts some people up about Hall

A very good Team performance from us tonight the Pack were very strong and once we upped the gears going out wide with fast accurate ball they had no answer.
I'll also say even though it was 10-0 at H/T we had to do plenty of tough defence in both halfs.
I alos think the Coach got it spot on tonight and was rewarded by his teams efforts Jp only played 35mins in the 1st half and didn't return at all but Bailey and Kylie did the tough stuff consistently well and Achurch put a decent 2nd half cameo in.
Delaney got M.O.M at the match and to be fair it could have gone to 1 or 2 others aswell but personally i thought Hardaker was our best player.
Awful conditions for the kickers but we adapted well and dare i say it we didn't miss Hall but imo he and Briscoe are still our best 2 wingers.

Less than 50 points conceded in five games.

Tougher tests to come, but good defensive organisation and commitment so far.
