Broncos fan here. I wouldnt worry about what 17 you put out against us,not with the way we defend. You could stick all your injured players in wheelchairs or on crutches and yout still get though our defence......

Its that sort of optimism that worries me

Given that we got turned over twice by the Broncos (or Harlequins,as they were then known)last season,we could be looking at four defeats in a row.

My fear is that the Rhinos will have the same mindset i.e. all they have to do is turn up & they'll pick up the points.
Nothing should be further from thier minds after their recent performances.

Let's hope he/she/it gives it to our forwards instead

Actually the Broncos weren't completely terrible the last couple of times I've watched them! Wouldn't be too surprised if we lost on Monday especially given our current mini slump and lack of creative playmakers available. Watch out for Dan Sarginson he looks a good prospect at left centre.

I'm still surprised that Chisholm hasn't been called up, you think they'd give him a chance with the form he's been in recently.

And with how tired Hall looks.

Are these moans from players about too many matches not real then? Or has our coach lost the plot on this one.

Be interesting to see if any other team goes with a same 19 over Easter, doubt it.

I agree the squad we should be making some changes. Hall didn't look tired on Friday I thought he had a reasonable game

I agree, I'm looking forward to seeing him & Dixon - young guy with pace to burn.
It would have been good to see Chisolm up against these two.

Agree Sal if anyone should be "rested" in our back-line then it's Bjb imo.

If JP and Magsy are out were gonna end up with a team like this:
Webb,BJB,Watkins,Hardaker,Hall,Sinfield,Ward,Griffin,McShane,Leuluai,Clarkson,Delaney,Ablett
Subs:Hood,Smith,Kirke,Bailey
Why we haven't given Chisholm and Singleton a chance i just don't know

Bib isn't tired, he's just playing poor. Therefore to correct you post he needs dropping.

For me though I can't see where else would have been right to give Hall a deserved rest than this weekend.

Given we've got another short turnaround to Friday against SL opposition in the Cup I felt sure we'd 'freshen' up the squad for Monday against London as I cannot see players getting 'rested' for the CC game.

IF McGuire is out Monday then with no Burrow as well I see a potential Banana skin v London

It does seem a bizzare decision not to rotate the squad a little. From watching the last few games we appear to be looking knackered. Always see London at home as a banana skin. Hopefully we will get two points, but it could be a tough game for us

I do not have high hopes for Monday in the wake of recent performances. I now prefer to recall happier times. Like when Zak used to pass to Ryan occasionally. Happy days.

Pitts must be wondering what he has to do to get a game.

Great pass at the KC on Friday, I wonder where he learned that one. Anyone wishing to keep track of his stats at his new club will have to wait until Opta realises he's no longer t Headingley.

I thought Hall was excellent Friday. One of our best players. Handled every kick put to him, ran very strongly and looked very dangerous.

I also thought BJB looked good. Made some good breaks. Not sure why he is getting so much stick.

What's the story with Huaraki? He could offer us something different in the second row to what we have at the moment. Is he injured?

Me neither. Handled the high stuff well too

I asked him on Twitter the other day, he'll be back in a couple of weeks

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.
