changes must be made.

4. Hardaker
2. Jones-Bishop
14. Smith
12. Ablett
5. Hall
13. Sinfield
6. McGuire
21. Leuluai
31. Lunt
20. Griffin
11. Jones-Buchanan
15. Delaney
16. Bailey

7. Burrow
10. Peacock
19. Hauraki
21. Moore

Sinfield at loose-forward, McGuire at stand-off and work the rest around that.

Ward and BJB have to play. I'd also bring in someone like Keinhorst and move Ablett back into the pack. We need more speed in the team.

Meh!

I'd go with the following, but I don't expect that BMD will. He will stick with the same 17 and maybe start Burrow instead of Lunt.

Hardaker (Webb's discipline should result in him being dropped)
BJB
Smith
Ablett
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Griffin
Lunt
Peacock
JJB
Kirke
Sinfield

Bailey
Leuluai
Hauraki
Ward

Edited for mine.

will mguire play...he went off injured how bad was the injury

I'm sorry Leeds fans,whatever permitations you put out against us will lead to yet another hiding.

Warrington are leagues ahead of the 'Rhinos'.

The degree of loyalty being shown towards Super League's most infamous F-TB is sickeningly predictable on this forum.

The annoying thing is that McDermott will probably say something similar to what he said after the Saints game and question some players thinking and efforts.......yet won't drop a single one probably, injury premitting.
Had the shoe been on the other foot tonight Wane would of dropped half his team for next week.

I genuinely don't think we would do much better if changes were made to the line-up, but if he doesn't make them as the coach then he is pretty much saying this is the best he can come up with and get out of his players.

You appear to have missed the phrase : "And BMD to the job centre"

This seems VERY similar to his spell at London. Not a good omen is it? I doubt we will do anything this year. Last year was a one off achievement. An achievement of the players, not the coach I think.

Time to mix it up!

I've said similar on another thread.

It doesn't matter what changes are made in the backs....until we have a pack of fired up hard hitting dominant forwards we will continue to be shafted.

Once we have a new coach (not long now

) I would be tempted to bring in Singleton, Daniel Smith, Hood, Luke Ambler and Kyle Amor and without a doubt stick Bailey in at LF. So what if they get beaten a few times ....the future pack should be given as much game time as possible now.

Ward should at least be on the bench.

Tired of reading Sinfield back to 13.He has insisted he plays at 6 and will not go back to playing loose forward.Player power rules at Headingley.

Desperate shame that Hardaker is considered the future at Leeds. Ouch.

But not quite as sickeningly predictable as the huge spike in your post count after a Rhinos' defeat

To be fair i think Ward is more considered the future than anyone, but Hardaker is seen as being a big player for us in the future and can still be if he's used and coached correctly. I think everybody knows now that he shouldn't stay in the centres for much longer but the lad is talented i personally thought at the beginning of the season that he should end up in one of the pivot positions like full back because he does have that x-factor about him that would be better suited there.

I'd like to see Hardaker at fullback but at the minute he couldn't just slot straight in because Webb plays like an extra half and Hardaker can't even pass to his winger let alone throw cut out passes. Leeds would have to change their whole approach on attack because Hardaker at fullback with McGuire and Sinfield as the halves would mean we are even less creative than we are at the minute. Ward to loose (or Sinfield back to loose with Ward at 6) could potentially allow it to happen. What is Ward's best position? 6 or 13?

Stevie Ward is back in the 19 man squad for friday barring any injuries in training this week

I would like to see him start at either 6 or 13 and with Burrow given a start at 7 to see how he takes his chance there rather than just putting Stevie at 7 merely so that he is out on the park

Regardind how they would shape up defensively if all 3 were on the field at the same time.IMO i would have Sinny defending more down the middle than out wide where he is more vulnerable

would like to see Chisolm or Keinhorst be given a chance, if anything just too add some pace to the right wing if Bjb isnt fit.

Good to hear TBB hopefully he'll continue to show his potential and cement a place in the 17 for the rest of the year.

It was stated in the programe for the Wigan game that Ward was about to start his A levels for the next couple of weeks then would start fulltime training with the 1st team squad. That may explain his absence the ladt couple of months.

would definitely put ward back into team at 13, and i dont agree with moving zak out of the centres i would move him to right centre then when he does use his very good side step he is taking the ball to his winger an will therefore be easier for him to pass to his winger (BJB) and in turn promote young keinhorst to left centre and allow ablett to move back into the SR and hope webb can get his act together at FB

i'd agree on that line up in the threequarters and let's face it Webb [uIS[/u unlikely to be dropped.

However these changes are not going to solve anything. The forwards are a much more substantial problem.....and the coach's methods and ability to motivate/inspire are the biggest problem of all. If the CEO won't dispense with his services, sack the CEO.

ye there is no way mcdermott will drop webb although he should until he learns to keep his mouth shut and start playing the way he can.

in the forwards i have been worried all season with moore and griffin coming in were the most impressive of signing and havent proved me wrong, but he cant change that now all he can do is move bailey back to LF cause i dont think he will bring ward back in for such a big game but bring in singleton instead of moore
