Agree

Golding, despite his nightmare last season, should play fullback and move Zak into the centres.
I agree though Burrow and McGuire in the halves is a definite no no.
Burrow has gone now and at best is a bench player - please Mac don't start with the old guard - look to the future it has to be Sutcliffe and McGuire for me.

Which small patches? I must have missed them and I didn't visit the toilets. We were garbage from start to finish.

I agree. I don't think there was anything we did last week, that if we did for 80 minutes would beat anyone in this league. Not sure what was been watched. We need much better than anything produced last week.

We are coming off a 20 point home defeat to a poor side who just got demolished to nil on their own patch last night.

In normal circumstances i would agree with you, but all is not right at the minute and if the players turn up with the same attitude and level of perfomance as they did over the easter period then another defeat is well on the cards.

They should've beaten Wakefield



If Burrow is on the bench and given minimal minutes or even better, dropped, then I think we'll be OK and this could be the week we click.

If he starts then we're in trouble.

Rob Lui been included in our 19 atlast moment. Passed last minute fitness test.

Lui's just been added to the squad!

And yet Cuthbertson and Delaney drop out for us. Number of times we have players named in 19 who are injured and don't play.

Briscoe worst than first feared and out for 8-10 weeks.
Hall and Ferres a month away.

Where's that been confirmed? Nothing on either the club website or the YEP one.

With another back-rower biting the dust, that leaves JJB, Ablett and Achurch as the only fit senior ones at the club and one of those will be playing centre. One more knock and we're into the realms of either playing Sutcliffe at loose - despite his game not suiting the way Leeds use their loose forward - or promoting either Cam Smith or Josh Jordan Roberts from the 19s.

Someone else is going to have to come in anyway you would imagine, as that leaves us with a fit 17 including four half-backs and a hooker.

This has been the story of our season. It has been suggested by some that the coaches has been over working them in training yet Mac has consistently said most of the squad has been unable to train between matches and he has been unable to put out a totally fit squad with many carrying niggles so has had no option to name unfit players in the hope they will be fit in time for the next match.

The line about not training is a complete lie though. Certain players with long term injuries, have not taken part in certain sessions. They have not all missed training full stop. That was a spun lie. And before you ask, I know this from speaking with a few players, and the under 19's who train with them at the beginning of each week.

It said on radio Leeds. Minor injuries though.

Give Ian Shirke a ring.

Can see Sutcliffe being named at centre. What I think McDermott will name the lineup as....

Golding
Hardaker (although he and Golding might be the other way around)
Watkins
Sutcliffe
Handley
McGuire
Burrow
Galloway
Falloon
Singleton
Ablett
Achurch
JJB

Mullally
Baldwinson
Garbutt
Lilley (although I'd prefer to start him over Burrow)

Nobody said all have missed training but each week there has been additions to the long term list. eg this week Ward, Briscoe, Hall, Keinhorst, Ferres, Moon, Cuthbertson, Delaney, Walters. Before we have also had McGuire, Golding, Ablett, Falloon, JJB, Sutcliffe plus suspensions. But I guess you will still say apart from that 'what have the Romans ever done for us '

Others may not have missed training but you cannot train 100% if you are carrying a niggles. So a bit strong to call "it a complete lie" if you did not witness all the complete training sessions yourself you do not know how injuries/niggles had a negative effect. You should know by now that the form of the "in the loop" and "horses mouth" type moles is as bad as the bad form of the first team
.

I would go with that but start Lilley with Mags at halfback and bring on Burrow from the bench at 9

I would also like to see lilley starting and I would have burrow coming of the bench with a kicking tee!!

GOB
Carney
Sau
Griffin
Evalds
Lui
Dobson
Kopzcak
Tomkins
Griffin
BMM
Jones
Flannagan

Wood
Walne
Krasniqi
Lannon

Bar from Vidot and Lee that would be the first choice 13.

I never said they were not injured, so don't see what point you are trying to make. I said it was a lie to say they haven't trained at all, which it was, and it was in response to you saying, they have not trained. Now you seem to be changing that to not been fit whilst training, which I am sure was the case. I don't need to witness something when an academy player tells me he was smashed that day at training by a player allegedly not training

.

Has McDermott ever made a detailed list of what players missed training and what sessions?

Just said they haven't trained yet, and named players on previous interviews, hence what I was responding to. To say not trained is not true.

The dick measuring on this forum is embarrassing.
