Leeds best chance of winning is to play the game in the forwards and a 4 forward bench is the best way to do this. Watkins is in front of Gibson at present so gets the centre spot that allows us to have 4 forwards on the bench.

BTW, that's a hell of a big pack we can put out....

Starting to get nervous! Got my toilet roll on standby for 1 hour before kickoff!

Yep. The Hunslet games weren't there this morning.

Who would you use at 9 when Diskin's off the field,or do you think he'll play for the full 80?

With Burrow and McGuire both on the field together I'd be happy with Sinfield at 9 for 10 mins either side of HT. We still have enough kicking options and I'd expect us to keep the game in the forwards anyway so it's not as though we will be throwing the ball around all over.

If Burrow plays I'd expect him to do most of the dummy half work while Diskin is given a breather which was McClennan's option in the GF (after Webb had done it in the FE.) Leaving Sinfield and McGuire to operate in the halves as they have been doing so far this season.

I prefer that option than the one using Sinfield.

Number 3 just doesn't suit Lee Smith.

Does anyone know if Burrow is fully fit? I hope he is because we have sure missed him. If not they may have included him in the 19 to confuse Manly. He may start on the bench as not match fit.

He should be ok now, hes had quiet abit of time to rest.

Could be:

Smith
Donald
Watkins
Senior
Hall
Sinfield
McGuire
Leulaui
Diskin
Peacock
JJB
Kirke
Ablett

Lauitiiti
Burrow
Burgess
Bailey

Just because we've got Buderus now doesn't mean Diskin can't play 80 minutes, he did it last season

No he didn't.

Leeds have rotated other players rather than have a dedicated 2nd hooker on the bench but that doesn't mean Diskin regularly played the full eighty.

There Could Still Be A Possibility The Team Will Change, It Will Go Down To The Wire...

He still played the full eighty, maybe not everytime, I wasn't talking about the hooker role specifically

Lets hope it turns out good!!

burrow not playing


oh and lyon is playing 6

Where has that come from?

Care to back that up??????

Like when?

If it happened at all during 2008 it was rare. It was p1ss funny when Sky gave him the MOTM at Wigan claiming he played the full eighty and Diskin had to correct them in his aftermatch interview.

You tell me

I have done, he rarely, if ever, played the full eighty.

Wouldn't it be easier for you to list the games he did the full eighty?

It would, yes.

I can't argue with that.
