| No great loss, another has been way past his best. Give Hardacre a run at fb for a few weeks and we'll all be saying Brent Who?

| For me webbys is a loss, as he's been our most creative player this season, cant see hardaker playing FB, think the back line will be 1.bish. 2. Hardaker. 3. Smith. 4. Abbo. 5. Hall. with mags and burrow in the halves

Webb, even at a shadow of himself, has looked our only dangerous player for weeks.
With Briscoe/Welham/Manu attacking the Leeds right there's a case for putting Abblet at 3, or bringing Delaney back to centre for this game. Don't fancy Smith & Hardaker's chances against them. Given available personnel would maybe go with 1.Smith 2.Hardaker 3.Delaney/Abblet 4.BJB 5.Hall.

I agree ref Webb...and not fancying our right side with Smith there. Now here's a radical idea....dare I suggest it.....what about promoting a centre from the reserve team....Wilson perhaps Get Smith to FB or out of the way on the wing....centre is MOST def NOT his position. How long is his new contract ? Such good business it first appeared when re-signed.......ugghh.

| Smith is a better player at winger or full back and ben jones bishop is not great under the kick. So put Smith to full back and BJB to centre.
1. Smith 2. Hardaker 3. BJB 4. Ablett 5. Hall

How is Austin Wilson's defence? I mean...I take it you must have seen plenty of him given how much you talk about him.

So when would you give him a run ? Are you happy with our present centres ? Personally I feel pretty sorry for Ablett ....he's being asked far too often to 'fill in'. Delaney is pretty obviously even more of a forward.

I don't know when I'd give him a run, because I've no idea how good he is and I've never seen him play. And neither have you.

| And neither have I but it'd be good to rectify that sometime (it might even satisfy Nantwich's curiosity) and just how terrible could he be. Worse than Smith currently is at centre?
That would be bad (and not in the Michael Jackson sense either) really bad.

Your point being ? I've never been to the Grand Canyon either, but I have it on good authority there too that it's a pretty awesome place.

You've probably seen pictures and film of the Grand Canyon and heard multiple reliable reports. Aston Wilson hasn't really had that type of coverage.
I can assure that Leeds RL's season isn't going down the pan because Wilson and Singleton and whichever other teenager's name you've just heard aren't getting enough game time.
The Grand Canyon is pretty cool for what it is, by the way, but I'd recommend Yellowstone or Yosemite ahead of it.

I'm not arguing against putting Wilson in. I don't have enough insight either way. But I'm arguing against the relentless (blind) arguments for putting him in as if it's a complete solution.

Another vote here for Yosemite, Roger Waters even referenced it in a lyric - It's A Miracle.

| Given that the previously announced squad stated that Smith had been dropped, I assume he'll be fullback and Jones-Bishop given a run (however reluctantly) at centre?

| I would imagine whether Jones-Bishop is at centre or wing will depend on the fitness of Hardaker, especially considering he wasn't initially named in the squad.

I don't ever recall stating he would be a " complete " solution ? .. merely that he is surely worth a punt when the team is struggling with alternatives: either playing willing but out of position forwards or a once exciting but now utterly jaded utility back.
Thanks to all for the natural beauty recommendations. In return I would hasten all to visit Iceland. Getting up close to volcanoes, glaciers and geysers has no equal anywhere else that I know of.

| Webb our most potent threat out. Smith, one of our biggest none performers back in.
Can't wait for tonight.
Think I'll just keep stood by the Wilsons pie cart and drink all the mint sauce.
