The only reason I would put BJB on the bench is if he comes on at fullback and Zak moves in to the halves, however there is no real need for this due to the number of half backs in the team.

I'm not saying it's something i would do but i wouldn't be surprised to see it happen.

It wouldn't be the first time that McDermott has selected an outside back to under-utilise a bench spot.

Grouping together Jones-Bishop, Watkins, Smith, Keinhorst and Minns it's happened on seventeen occasions from one hundred and six games.

Judging from the recent involvement of that group (or, in some cases, the lack of it) it'd seem to be a tactic McD used more readily early in his tenure than he does now.

Agreed.

Hardaker would be wasted on the wing as that Spanish geezer suggests.

BJB gives me the colly wobbles on defence; Hardaker is the best defensive FB the club has had for a long time complemented by a fair lick of pace and strength in attack. ...

A good enough list of attributes to best fulfill the FB role IMO.

It is a pity about BJB because I think he had a pretty good understanding with Watkins out on the wing: he is a pretty good reserve outer back....if Leeds can keep him sweet.

6-0 up after 15 minutes

6-6 20 minutes. Sounds like neither team can hold on to the ball for more than 2 tackles.

Seems like our discipline is poor.
No change there then with Silverwood in charge.

Started good, went bad, became awful. Big improvement in second half if we are to get the points

Sounds inspirational. Remember folks, season starts in September.

14-6 to Leeds, 60 minutes.
