droll, very droll.

As shown in my post.

I like the idea of tony in the back row, but i think he'll be at prop.
Worth a punt putting Pryce at 13 and playing Longy and Kyle in the halves? Then our rotational props could be Jammer, Tony, Brian, Maurie. (Clough in the back row as an additional prop)? Its quite a strong forward line up.

Lack of a full stop and additional use of an 'and' but they are the ones lacking the education if they couldn't work out what you meant. It was perfectly simple to understand.

Trying hard to get Wilkin fit.

Not completely out of the question.

Save him for the Play Offs.

yup, we're not short of backrowers for this one!

According to Alan Rooney on Radio Merseyside Wilkin trained well today, and as he's in the 19 he expects him to play.

Aye, just heard it. A completely different reaction to yesterday when he broke down. If he's fit enough to play, then the two young kids Dixon and Emmitt to miss out for me.

Is Wheeler injured again?

Emmit is a unit, but rarely runs his weight.

Emmitt to miss out with maybe Dixon.

This is what I've heard the team will be

1. Pryce
2. Gardner
3. Gidley
4. Wellens
5. Meli
6. Eastmond
7. Long
8. Graham
9. Cunningham
10. Hargreaves
11. Gilmour
12. Tony P
13. Flannery

Subs. Roby, Clough, Maurie, Dixon

Experimenting by playing 3 players out of position. Sounds unlikely to me. Long and Eastmond are very similarly styled players. Wellens would do okay at left , but lack of pace would be a worry. Meanwhile Pryce has always been reluctant to play fullback?

Seems a bit late in the season to be trying new things. On the other hand, maybe a change is what is necessary, we can't carry on the same tactics and win the Grand Final.

I like it. Defo worth a go now. If it works, then we have a good new option for the play offs. If not, at least this game isn't that important in the long run.

In no way is Eastmond a stand off

So Eastmond and Pryce can't play together because they are similarly styled players, and Eastmond and Long can't play together because they are similarly styled players.

How the hell do Long and Pryce play together then?

I never said they can't play well together. I said I thought it was unlikely they would be picked, because they have similar styles. In my opinion Long and Pryce aren't similar at all.

It is also not just about their offensive styles, but also there defence. Long and Eastmond would both be targets.

They are both number 7s for me (Pryce is not a 7!).

I don't think it was an unreasonable point.

Kinell,he's had all season to experiment so he goes and does it now.
Very bizzare if true.

Wilkin plays line up as follows

Pryce
Gardner
Gidley
Wellens
Meli
Eastmond
Long
Graham
Cunningham
Hargreaves
Gilmour
Wilkin
Flannery

Roby
Puletua
Clough
Fa'asavalu

From what I've seen, longy and Kyle play nothing like each other.
Longy is more of playmaker and Kyle is a runner.

Are they? It's always struck me that Pryce and Eastmond are similar. In fact, Eastmond himself has said as much. If Long and Pryce complement each other then really so should Long and Eastmond. Eastmond definitely isn't an organiser (as yet?) on the evidence of this season anyway and so really shouldn't be given the no.7 jersey in a match against Leeds. Mind you, I wouldn't be changing anyone around against Leeds. Given that Potter was changing the squad around even before injuries hit, I wouldn't put it past him to do so again tonight. However, I hope he doesn't. I think we need stability not yet more change.

Team as of Sportinglife.com:

Wellens
Gardner
Gidley
Eastmond
Meli
Pryce
Long
Graham
Cunningham
Puletua
Gilmour
Flannery
Wilkin

Hargreaves
Roby
Clough
Fa'asavalu

I'd play Eastmond at 1 or 6 but not centre surely?

Leeds:

Webb
Donald
Smith
Senior
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Leuluai
Diskin
Peacock
JJB
Ablett
Sinfield

Lauitiiti
Burgess
Kirke
Bailey

He's fast enough. Gidley started as a 6 many moons ago and he's turned out ok

You deserved that try after JJB intentionally tried to take out your best player with a chicken wing.

Not a go at you personally, sorry, more a nod towards what others are saying.

I agree with you, Eastmond is more like Long than Pryce. IMO he could play with either given a decent run with the same half back partner.
