I'm letting the whole Walker thing drop. My other half read what I've said over my shoulder and said I was being nasty. Not sure if she meant to Walker or Gotcha...

Anyway, its always fun when there are debuts galore. Hopefully all three lads get decent time and show what they can do. Plus its Wellington's home debut. Best name in years.

I always did like your other half. The brains of the partnerhsip

66-6 to Leeds tonight.
Didn`t London Skolars beat them the other week?

Rob Burrow has confirmed on Twitter that Muizz Mustapha, Owen Trout and Callum Mclelland all make their debuts tonight.

In trout and Mclelland case, I think we would be wasting an opportunity by not starting with them, if we put on the bench. They should really be starting the game, then change if do not work.

As much as i would like to see these youngsters play I dont want to pay £15 after our recent performances. That really isn't like me to miss a home game but that's how despondent I am right now about the level of our play. Also Saints v Warrington on the goggle box is the one that is going to get my time

I’m going along for a few reasons.

Gives me a chance to go in the Southstand again for a change.

It is a game where I am confident in seeing us win (a rareity these days)

I really want to see the youngsters have a run.

I’m actually looking forward to this rather than the usual anxiety of another poor performance in the league.

l.p.

I agree. We know Sutcliffe is not the answer at 6 so IMO we need to see what McLelland can do in a full game. I would tell him he has the full 80 minutes barring injury. To pull him off if he makes a mistake would send the wrong signal especially as this has not happened to our previous stand offs during a game despite their many errors.

Thought Watkins would be due a rest

Same

No, he needs games for match fitness and confidence. Glad he's playing.

Lolohea
Briscoe Newman Watkins Golding
Sutcliffe Myler
Singleton Parcell Albert
Ferres Trout
Donaldson

Mustapha JJB Peteru McLelland

Happy with that side for this game, hopefully a comfortable confidence boosting win

A good mix of youth and experience, especially as the older players (except jjb) all have something to prove

Yep. Playing some youngsters but enough of a team to comfortably win.

Think they took the foot off the gas after 12 minutes but Ferres has been bloody awful.

Newman and Tui excellent

IMO JJB has plenty to prove - i.e. whether he's still good enough for a place in the first team at his age.

I see Workington have scored... So much for my hopes of a nilling.

Soft try aswell. All after ferres made a mistake then got marched 10 for dissent

Has Sutty been doing extra goal kicking practice?

Wow - Sutcliffe 13 goals from 13 attempts! Now maintain this success rate in our remaining SL games...

Leeds Rhinos 78 - 06 Workington Town
Leeds T: Newman x4, Golding x2, Briscoe, Albert, Myler x3, Ferres, Parcell. K: Sutcliffe 13/13
Workington T: Barnes K: Forber

Can’t complain at that really. Did the job we are supposed to and hopefully we can carry on now in super league.

He’s had plenty of practice tonight

Not sure how much we can take from that because we were clearly up against a weaker side but a few points.

I would give Walker a rest on Friday and Put Tui there, his link play and passing was superb tonight.

I also think I’d give Newman the nod over Watkins for one of the games over Easter, he looked all class tonight.

I thought Mustapha looked really strange ng - he’ll be a good un.

Wellington went well I thought, great run in the first half!

How’d Callum mclelland get on ?

That was possibly the finest display of place kicking I've ever seen.
