For me i don't think against the Giants he looked confident at FB was poor when joining the attacking line and was just as slow at times as Smith was against ST's and i personally think Chisolm deserves a chance and i wouldn't leave Hall out.
Against the Bulls he was better but again i don't think he looks as sharp or confident again i think Chisolm is doing more than enough to get a chance.
Don't get me wrong i'm not just pickong anyobne at random so Chislom gets a game i honestly think on the last 3 games and what i've seen Chisolm deserves a chance as does Singleton and at some point D.Smith that doesn't mean i want Bjb sacked or a new coaching set up!!!

Chisholm is definitely the Rhinoms love child, l hope he doesn't follow the fate of NE's Wilson.

I'd like to see him given a run too.....so I guess I'd better stop championing him right now



In fact maybe if I change tune and start championing Lee Smith and Kirke I might do us all a favour

It would seem Coach McDermott does not believe that the early rounds of Super league are less important. With the second most important game of the season so far coming up on Friday and the double fixture weekend he is neither resting nor giving new faces a chance to play for the first team.
Not a policy I agree with and this also puts our recent performances in a certain light.

You can add Singleton to that both are FAR too good for the U20 comp imo and need to be tested at the highest level just like Ward imo.
I will also add if it didn't work out etc it would still be worth seeing them at SL level imo.

JP passed fit to play according to rhinos twitter page

If JP is fit I would still be tempted to give him the day off, just with friday in mind. The whole pack looked tired on friday and I can't see it being any different today. why BMD has gone with the same squad i don't know, today was the perfect chance to blood a few youngsters and give the older players a chance to recover for friday, sadly that chance has gone.

Reading mc's comments after the bradford game, i get the impression he feels the team can attack better and wants to give them another opportunity to prove they can. I agree though we should be giving singo a game and resting a couple.
With hauraki, moore, jjb all out injured and pitts let go our options are limited imo
id go with webb, bish, watkins, hardaker, hall, sinny, ward, bailey, mcshane, griffin, delaney, abbo, clarkson subs hood, peacocok, leulaui, kirke

ideally mcguire will be fit and he'd be at 7, with ward at 13

according to twitter burrow is playing

if the above is true it may not be too bad, one player dosn't make a team but we would have more spark. Ward to 13 with rob at scrum half.

it is tweeted by burrow, doesnt say whether it is 1st or 20s but id imagine its 1st team, also app someone has said that ward isnt playing so if thats true maybe mags is back, but we'll have to wait and see

It was Frosties that said Ward isn't playing. Also said Smith out and Hood in.

IF that's true, Burrow will go to 7. McShane at 9 and Hood off the bench.

Remains to be seen whether or not it's actually true though.

Can't see McGuire being ready for today after what he said the other night. (Again, on twitter- the most reliable source of information...)

I believe the thinking is that if you win your first game over Easter you can make a few changes for the 2nd game. But if you lose the first match then you have to play your best team to avoid a disaster. Like you I would have blooded a couple of youngsters against London particularly if we have either or both Burrow and McGuire back.

Singleton on the bench, be good to see how he does.

Any time Smith makes the team it gives a sniff of blood to the opposition.....

Hall looks very tired today

Ay should have been rested

He was rested along with the whole team today. They were playing the London Broncos.

So happy he was given a chance today, like to see alot more of him in the first team!!

Was impressed with Singleton when he got, good leg drive, looks like a young JP

I thought JP looked more like a young JP tbh. Looks like he's been at the cherry blossom.
