I hoped Walker might make a 6 but the more I see of him, the more I see him playing that role as Joel Moon does, i.e. a make-do who'd perform better at centre or FB.

And Walker knew that too.

I agree he could make a good centre too but I still think he will end up at 6 as he develops his game and he comes to realise his best position. Not seen if he has a good enough kicking game yet though.

The weather forecast is dire again tomorrow, hopefully the snow will be gone by kick off

No longer forecast of any snow for tomorrow

Im not sure they can afford to rest those 3 with the front row further decimated and the 3 coming in returning after a pretty long absence, puts too much pressure on.

I would go with this:
Golding
Briscoe Watkins Handley Hall
Moon Myler
Ferres Parcell Singleton
Sutcliffe Ward
Delaney
Subs
Keinhorst JJB Ablett Oledzski/Smith

When Parcell goes off for 20 minutes Golding to hooker Handley to FB and Keinhorst to centre.
Failing that if Walker is fit swap with Keinhorst on the bench. Sorted!

It's a very difficult team to pick. Ferres has come back after a long lay off, he plays Friday and now probably has to go again. As Juan and Seth say - not great playing Ablett and Delaney but at least one or both will play. I'd start oledZki at prop and reckon Walters will start in second row with ward and Delaney in back row. Assuming no walker, play Ferres, Sutcliffe, Jimmy k and smith/ablett on bench. JJB is not in the 19. Almost any combination of forwards is possible today.

We certainly can’t, not in a must win game.

I wouldn't want to be in McDermott's shoes if we lose this. Season over in April - must mean he'll be out the door

I'm 2 miles from the ground and it's a winter wonderland outside, and the snow is still falling. Hopefully the area around Headingley will be clear by kick off

All the roads are clear here mate just peeing down

Season over in April? How do you get that?

Haven’t even played a cup game or out of running for the top 4.

Golding
Briscoe
Watkins
Handley
Hall
Moon
Myler
Delaney
Ward
Ablett
Walters

Dwyer
Smith
Oledzski
Ferres

I'm Kind of thinking / hoping that D4mo78 has his tongue firmly in his cheek

Not the greatest of games but given the conditions & circumstances a well earned win.
Positives other than the win were Myler Walters & Cam Smith imo.

Walters was a joke. But then again the game was terrible. Delaney poor also, along with Moon.

But Myler really is one quality signing. Manages the game so well, and keeps busy.

It's almost like you've got an agenda.

Well the coach agrees with you and gave a lot of praise to both Walters("outstanding today in defence and offence and scored a try"icon_wink.gif who played 80 minutes and also Cam Smith.

Some people can never admit when their judgement has been proven to be wrong which is why you have to take their comments with a large pinch of salt

Disagree completely re-Walters mate i thought he was very good today.

Ditto.

To be fair, I can see both sides of the Walters argument. Today he was good & will probably get a high OPTA tackle count. However, if you were there you will have seen a guy with tremendous heart & effort, but falling off the tackle on many occasions, which could prove fatal against a decent side. I was pleased for him that he got his try at the end & hope he gains some confidence from this, but (as has been alluded to) he is, at best, a filler. Considering some of the comments about our youth teams on this site, I don't think there will be much opportunity for him in the coming years.

As for Cam Smith, I think he had a great game today.

PS. Myler could be a gem.

Walters did ok today for me. At end of day he is probably earning peanuts and is about 6th or 7th choice 2nd rower in squad. He filled in well today.

To say he was a joke is ridiculous.

Did he drop off some tackles? Sure but he was probably blowing out of backside. When was last time he did 80? Has he ever done 80?

Cam Smith did very well today also. Got longer minutes and worked hard.

Myler and Hall very good again but overall it was a great advert for playing 1 game at Easter.

2 points won and move onto next week.

He has and it's tedious.

His performance today wasn't anything special but he did ok, yet as usual whenever he plays regardless of whether it's an improved showing like today or he gets limited minutes you know the same poster will be straight on and it'll be one of if not the first thing he mentions about the whole game slagging him off.
