brearley84, Bailey got tasty with Luke O'Donnell & ripped his shirt & Luke never raised his arms, but was still red carded followed by a massive apology from red hall as they reviewed the tape from every angle.

If Luke is injured, I'd still put him on for, if you believe rumours, his last game in a giants shirt, just to literally knock the crap out of Bailey.

spoke to alan hes dropping me a spare ticket off tonight... wrong side of stadium though..hopefully i can get it transferred

yes i know bailey got tasty with o'donnell and he got sent off..wasnt that the season before this though? remember us playing in the white shirt.

crabtree and bailey got heated at out spot last season too

it all going to go off!!


what about faalogo having a bash for once???? hes off anyway!!!!



o'donnell leaving? not heard that one, he will be staying just to pick up his wage for next season, cant afford to offload him

mason is going to wakefield though and we are paying some of his wages for the privelege

19 announced:

1. Scott Grix
2. Michael Lawrence
3. Leroy Cudjoe
5. Jermaine McGillvary
7. Danny Brough
8. Eorl Crabtree
9. Luke Robinson
10. Keith Mason
11. Luke O’Donnell
12. David Fa’alogo
13. David Faiumu
15. Larne Patrick
16. Dale Ferguson
17. Joe Wardle
18. Jason Chan
20. Luke George
21. Aaron Murphy
35. Scott Moore
36. Brett Ferres

Out of that 19 I would go;-

Murphy

George
Wardle
Cudjoe
McGilvery

Grix
Brough

Crabtree
Robinson
Mason
Chan
Faalogo
O'Donnell

Bench

Faiumu
Patrick
Ferres
Bruno

I would tell the pack to absolutely rip into the old men of Leeds and see if they still have the appetite for it after 30 minutes of constant punishment? Time to get nasty

For me it would look like:-

Murphy

McGillvary Cudjoe Wardle George

Brough Grix

Lawrence
Chan Ferres
Mason Robinson Crabtree

Moore
Faiumu
Patrick
O'Donnell

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I've missed the last few games but it doesn't sound like Fa'alogo has been doing much? If so it would be him and Ferguson sat out, however if he's been playing well then I would probably swap Moore out, put Robinson on the bench and let Faiumu be the starting hooker.

Thoughts?

i agree with your side Ginger Giant.

Start O Donnell from the bench.
I would pick Moore before Faalogo as i actually thought he went ok last week while Falogo has not played well for weeks.

Or an alterantive play Falaogo and drop Mason.

id go..

murphy

mcgillvary
cudjoe
wardle
george

grix
brough

moore
crabtree
faalogo
ferres
chan
lawrence

bench -

patrick
faiumu
odonnell
robinson


think odonnell will start from the bench, what a bench that is if they were on form



some difficult choicesm could pick 3 or 4 teams with a few changes.

shame cant have kev brown in for grix though.

What's Eden done wrong?

He'll be at FB, or should be.

Would of had Eden at fullback but he not in the 19 Ivor!

Would play Faalogo and tell him as its probably his last ever home game, then go out and give it all he has got to try make up for all the time on the sidelines, when he is on his game he is good and he and O'Donnell smashed em at Leeds this season, along with Chan it's an awesome backrow and most packs would struggle to stop em.

Link that with an on form Mason and Big Eorl and could be unplayable, everyone of em needs to be on their games though!!

Yes i am looking forward to sunday , i`ll be in blackpool sat. to sun. with wifey and our 2 1/2 yr old grandson so my ticket has been given away , season over for me , see you all next season .

Doh! Should read what I paste!!

Runs sideways too much Dave.

Can't score tries by running sideways. And he's scored some.

You can if you look at the stands whilst running.

Interesting use of "Lids" by the OP.....

Put a cap on it.

Well what a very pleasant surprise yesterday was, it was like the previous few months performances hadn't happened. Don't know what's happened in the camp this last week but whatever it was certainly worked, it's the first time in a long time that we actually took to the field and looked like a team prepared to sweat blood and bust a gut for each other. I know Leeds were a bit below the expected standard yesterday, but you can only play what's in front of you and apart from the last 10 mins when the match was well and truly won we demolished them. The farce that Uncle Albert created with the LOD sending off seemed to galvanise the lads and the touch rugby defence from previous weeks disappeared and Broughy and co tackled like demons, long may it continue. Our forwards were making good yards and holding onto the ball, dummy runners were creating the gaps in the Lids defence and our backs were exploiting this, we were bursting the line and back up runners were on hand to support. I'd forgot we could play like this, I'm not going to get too carried away with the performance as I think Lids were well below par but the transformation from previous outings was pretty astonishing. Now let's hope that we can build on this and mount a good play off challenge.
All in all a good afternoon out.

Now looking forward to Hull rather than praying for the season to end.

Come on Fartown
