"its a shame we blew that 64 point lead but theres no shame in losing 65-64 to a quality outfit like Leeds...slurp"

What people think about Deacs being missing. IMO this is ideal opportunity to get the 'we look lost without captain' monkey off our backs.

Leeds won't know who to pressure on the 6th tackle, this must give us options!!!

Slight Flaw: How on earth does Platt release the ball in the tackle and still manage to get up and take a pass off Halley to score the winning try. Up until that point you had me going apart from also saying that Platt "almost" fumbles the ball.

We'd have to plunge new depths to look as lost without him as we did with him when we played this lot last Easter.

As it says, Lynch to be captain. Good choice, hopefully he'll continue to lead by example.

Doesn't say who is vice captain for when he's being rotated mind, Langley? Newton?

I'd suggest Burgess for vice capt.

Still, with Lynchy getting the armband at least we know he's not one of the "unnamed" senior players to get this bug that's going round the team

Burgess is a good shout but I think I'd give it to Langley myself.

And yes, it is good news that Lynch doesn't have any strain [iIdontwanttogetstuffedbyleedsagiainitius[/i that might or might not be sweeping through the squad.

My only hope is the bug is true, and our fullback has fallen fowl of the virus.

I thought he'd already shown symptoms of cjd in france last week!!

not just last weeks sadly
