Id go with that apart from id swap crowther with brad walker

I agree, Walker gives another dimension to our attack and for me would be extremely unlucky to miss out based on the last 2 outings, that said Crowther is as solid as they come in defence so it depends on what WP thinks we need most in this one, I might even be tempted to start Bowes and put Crowther on the bench over Kay.

Kay on the wing instead of Murphy, Walker on bench as he can cover many positions. Bookies giving us a 6 point start, think they may increase that as punters pile on Leeds having seen our possible back line.

It was 4 points until the squads were announced and then they pushed us to 6 point start.

I do genuinely think though that Leeds have a poor forward pack...I like Oledski but that's about it...a couple of promising youngsters but not much size about them...

If our lads can win the forward battle then the edge Leeds have in the backs on paper could be somewhat negated. I'd absolutely bombard Walker with high kicks and plenty of pressure too because from looking a world beater coming through a few seasons back the injury and time out looks to have taken it's toll and he looks to have an error or two in him and could lose confidence very quickly...

Good to see we got a coach who will not turn a slight knock into a month+ .The fitness of a team can win matches

Tetavano doesn`t lack size, but he seems to just go through the motions, he doesn`t look half the player I watched in the NRL.

They definitely have a few players massively down in confidence, the one that stands out to me is Walker at fullback, we should relentlessly go at him all game, catch him with a high bomb early on and he will fall to pieces.

The only one missing from their first choice 1-13 is 11, so they will be no pushover's obviously https://twitter.com/leedsrhinos But if we can continue playing the same way we have in the first 3 games then we could just sneak this one

Looking at the squads I’d have Leeds down as favourites for this. Our three quarters look depleted but the pack isn’t far off full strength. All the teams Leeds have played so far have kept Sezer and Austin quiet, if we do the same we’ve a chance.

Thought Lino was supposed to be leaving

Well our defence won’t be tested like it was at saints ,so no worries there for me ,and with Lino back in the fold I think we have just the talisman to unlock their defence and deliver the coup de gras .Feeling confident even without some quality in the three quarters ,but I’m sure they’ll step up to the plate and let no one down ,which will only heighten the competition for places when players start to return ,not had this for some time ,and bodes well for the club going forwards

I would have the centres and wide forwards all covered by wide forwards

so Johnstone Ashurst (Tanginoa as wide left) and (Pitts wide right) Batchelor Murphy/
Kay

I think I would go Jowitt Johnstone Ashurst Batchelor Murphy/ Kay Miller Lino Fifita Bowes Arona
Tanginoa Pitts Crowther interchange Battye Whitbread Walker Aydin

Agree here the worry is there far superior 6 and 7 - if they fire we are in trouble

"their" far superior not "there"......

although you could have said " the worry there, is a far superior blah blah".....

but even if you had the grammar correct,,, I still wouldn't agree with you

No one ever agrees with me on here so i am used to it
stay safe with these floods spook - its terrible where i live but not as bad as others have it

Sorry do not agree .If Miller and Link are anyway near there top game there is not to much to choose between them .Think it will depend on how are three-quarters cope

"they're" far superior - not "their"

Looking forward to this - can see it being a close win......
[iThey're[/i <sic> (FIL) low on confidence.
....Also hope they don't let them in the Conny Club pre-match......

Nope. Not in the original context.

"The worry is 'their' far superior 6 and 7"

Just read the full sentence again and you are correct Spook/PT

Talking of being superior, we have 6 start on the handicap, which looks generous (I hope)

Think we'd have been League Leaders for the last fifteen seasons if bookies' handicaps could have been actually carried onto the field.
Especially with some of the close finishes against top teams.

The bookies will be looking at our injuries and their full strength team.
I think they are right on paper but I fancy us to win if Croft is fit. Two SR in centre might be too much.

I have been very impressed with the Wildcats this season even though you haven't won yet.
Big Willy looks to have got you playing well and you have clearly competed in all 3 games so far, and against some pretty formidable opposition too in Catalans away and also Saints away

Don`t worry about that.
We could have Briscoe and Sutcliffe as our centres.
You could play 2 props there and they would be faster.

Thanks for the plaudits, Chin, but we haven't been called Wildcats for about 4 years now
