Think next friday we should give young goulding a go at half back .washbrook did his best but need a proper halfback at 6. its easy to say we don t know if hes ready yet. but if you don t try him u will never know

Not for me. He isnt tearing the champ up so theres no way he'll tear up SL. We could have won tonight and with collis back in the side, tautai's inclusion and lee smith into the halves we'll beat them next week.

Would rather see Kaye get a shot tbh, he is playing well in champ and has featured at SO.

The effort from washy at 6 was commendable but he is clearly no 6 and it was all first or second recieved running it in today. In attack very easy to read.

Isaac John didn't tear up super league but he's going well at penrith and starting every week. Goulding at 6 is surebetter than washbrook at 6 who llet's be honest added nowt much. Plus it's another player with a good kicking game. Goulding been playing well in championship when I've seen him.

Must be kidding, Goulding is rubbish

Keep the same team but hope the guys hold on to the ball better (could they be any worse!).
Did anybody not lose the ball? Mathers, Poore and Wilkes maybe?

Indeed. It wasn't the ref or Agar who dropped the ball constantly.
Our own worst enemies unfortunately but to lose at the Champions by 2 isn't a disgrace.

Really looking forward to next Friday now!

He's not rubbish but way off SL certainly based on his performances in the lower league. People wouldn't even be mentioning him if it were not for the name.

I'd stick Wildie in at 6... Aiton at 9.

Get Washbrook back to 13, and have Tautai in 2nd row if Kirmo is out.

You could put Thurston Marshall or whoever you like at stand off. It would be an exercise in futility unless you get the wingers defending. Because no matter how many scoring opportunities you would create Leeds will just go wide and score more.

Do we go with Washbrook defo not a stand off,Lee Smith played some time at stand off already this season and done nothing much better.Go with Goulding who is untried at the top level so far and play a gamble.Go with Wildie who for my money could become a top 9 in the game but dont impress me in the halves.
One thing is for sure if we can run Leeds so close without a quality 6 what could we do with one.

I'd put lee smith to full back, Mathers to 6 and bring walshaw and Collis into the centres. Drop Lyne and Trout. I know a lot will complain about this next comment but I'd be sorely tempted to drop washbrook in favour of Annakin.... That will never happen though

Mathers to 6 and Liam Kay in at full back, centres we can cover with centres.

No need to move half the squad around to cover 1 or 2 injuries, replace like for like.

I definitely think Kay deserves a chance as he has been playing well at Donny and was IMO one of our best players in the Hemel game, whereas others did very little

Not sure why trout is getting in ahead of an anakin either unless its a lack ogf gamr time that agar is concerned about

Why move mathers from full back to 6 for Kaye?

Kaye has played 6 previously and in recent games for dons i think so why not just leave mathers and play Kay at 6.

Agree

If thats the case then i am happy to go with that, my point is less movement to fit players in.

All this shuffling around is not right.

Yeah I think (may be wrong here) that he filled in at 6 and scored one or a few and showed up well there in recent week due to a dons halfback Injury.

Him and Goulding are probably the closest thing we have to a 6 at this time that are fit and could step in.

No need to move half the team about to find a no 6.
There aren't too many options but, Agar cant have been over impressed when Wilde filled I there a couple of weeks ago, so wi either promote one of the young guns or, give Washy another go.
Like many, I don't think Washy is our best option though, he's great in defence but wasn't giving too much in attack.

Same team as last Friday for mine. Impossible for them to repeat the error rate.

You'd think.....

so why drop trout? defense was superb made the break with a fantastic line .. ok was tackled short of the line but we still scored from that set..really confused??? and as for annakin..check the stats runs hard but the yards made are not that great!

and as for goulding by all accounts his kicking game was fantastic today..
