Ssssshhhhhhhhhhh

i'd have to agree really, apart obviously from high balls meli is solid in defence, and his size means its hard to get past him. Gardener's wing scores more tries, but lets in more. As long as we score more than we let in i dont mind - sexy rugby

I hope Bentham keeps control of the game and lets it flow. If so we have the makings of a classic.

So are you enjoying a week where you don't have to see your fantasy team fail?

Yep, but I'm seeing my NRL team pull away.

Hopefully it's an area we've worked on. I do fear for that side though. Amazingly the opposition have scored a fair amount of their tries down that side this year.

Gilmour has strengthened the left side of your defence, but your right side was one of the main areas where our tries came from last year and in the game at KR

Ali Lauitiiti - Right Side
Luke Burgess - Middle
Kevin Sinfield - Middle
Scott Donald - Right Side
Ali Lauitiiti - Right Side
Scott Donald - Right Side
Kylie Leulaui - Middle
Danny McGuire - Left Side - Off a kick (Meli)
Gareth Ellis - Middle
Lee Smith - Right Side
Ryan Hall - Left side
Danny McGuire - Middle
Danny McGuire - Middle
Keith Senior - Right Side
Ryan Hall - Right Side
Keith Senior - Right Side

Right - 8 (50%)
Middle 6 (37.5%)
Left - 2 (12.5%)

It's only because I couldn't be bothered entering it

Leeds could get alot of joy with Webb, Lauitiiti, Senior and Donald attacking that side. We have to be very wary.

And JJB, Hall plays on the left now instead of Donald.

and i thought i had time on my hands

it is clearly an area we need to work on

Alot of time for me to kill this morning. 2 is when my day begins.

I hope the ripper

- Gets everyone of their mams?
- Gets parole?

I hate an unfinished sentence!

Not watching the F1 then ?

Gidley is a very good player but senior is a very strong lad Gidey cannot do it all him self. It will take his toll on Gidley if Gardener does not help him.

I imagine wilkin will be inside gidley and he is a tackling machine!

Usually he's on the other side, to cover the left considering Gilmour isn't a natural centre. Flannery will be with Gidley and Gardner.

Lego gets through a tonne of work in defence that usually goes unnoticed by most.
Like to see him play at 13 again today. Be interesting to see if he drops in at 6 now long isn't playing.

I'd imagine Wilkin and Roby will fill in for Long.

I really hope not!

do any of you know when the team will be anaonced and lomax was not in the 19?

Yes I did, it was quite exciting before it was abandoned.
Normally it's just the start that's exciting, but when it rains there's more stops so it was pretty good today.

Lomax wasn't in and the team is usually announced about an hour before kick off.

I do, Wilkin has a kicking game, and if Roby is at 7 then Pryce will be kicking most of the time, while we have Sinfield, McGuire, Burrow and even Webb. I don't like to sound like Paul Cullen, but with the quality of defence for both sides, the kicking game is crucial.
