Wouldnt mind seeing Cockayne at fullback could be deadly supporting breaks and returning the ball in attack...

Like the look of that. Lacking a little in size up front but it appears we are gonna be whatever side we put out.

I like that. Assuming Mathers isn't right, I'd put Cockayne there too. Mellars might be better off on wing as his positional play for kick at centre is poor.

smith at 6, wood at 7,ellis at 9 and aiton at 13 sorted.

Like that as a starting line-up, but what about an interchange hooker? or can Ellis do 80?

aiton could switch between roles we know he can do the full 80

I think we ca match Leeds' forwards but they've players such as Hall, BJB & Watkins in there backs who lets face it are exciting and filled with quality. It'll be tough for our defence out wide and in reality a good kicking game is needed this week to pin back Leeds

You talk absolute crap, James is not a midget - Height 6 ft 2 in - Weight 16 st 8 lb - even in your fantasy world how the hell is that a midget

Your great new best friend Craig Kopczak - Height 6 ft 4 in - Weight 16 st 12lb hardly a giant by comparison is he, 4 lb and 2 inches WOOOOOW.

Are you ever going to stop forcing people to humiliate you with facts.

Glad Vasty saved me the job as i know him well and he's deffo no midget.

James is a big midget

Anyone know how much Wilkes weighs? I dont trust wiki!

Wood starts with John on bench
no Ellis

WILDCATS: Mathers, Fox, Sykes, Collis, Cockayne, Washbrook, Smith, Raleigh, Wood, Amor, Kirmond (c), Walshaw, Aiton. Replacements: John, Wilkes, James, Mellars.

Washbrook at 6? Oh dear.

Ridiculous bench selection.

Washbrook at 6 and john on the bench? So to bring him on we have to re-jig the whole team? No Ellis again and Mellars on the bench? Well Me Agar you need to have been proved right after this one otherwise you've just set yourself up.

Lets hope the boys do the business.

Mellars deserves dropping, why put him on the bench ?

Just hope this selection is only names on paper when they take to the pitch Wood,Washbrook and Aiton will all switch around.

After seeing the Leeds line up, they WILL tear us apart

Cant believe we have two backs on the bench and no Ellis.

Would love to know the thinking behind that selection. Only thing I can think is that he is not 100% certain that Mathers is recovered enough from his illness and/or Collis is still not 100% . However, if thats the case, neither should be playing in the 1st place.

I agree with everything you say! 2 backs on the bench, madness!

According to radio Ryan Bailey playing loose forward....WTF ????

If Kear was incharge could you imagine the amount of stick he'd get for that line up! With regard to the bench, Mellars i can understand. He can play second row and cover a position in the backs if required. John for me either starts or isn't in the 17. Harsh maybe, but such is the change required in the line up it becomes far to problematic.

Would it not have been better just to have Aiton on the bench?

sounds like we are not getting any luck

knock-on-athon !!!

Couple of clean breaks but just not finishing them off

Leeds dropped the ball several times in our twenty, collis bombed two chances for us. Classic.
