I'd say Bailey and BJB to miss out. Harsh on BJB but can't have an outside back on the bench

Quote: The Eagle "To be fair, who would you kick to? HAll is the biggest and strongest winger around and returns the ball pretty hard. Briscoe similar. Hardaker has the feet to break the first tackle.

Having said that, you can only put pressure on kick receivers if you are winning the field position. Saints didn't do that so were never in a position to challenge for the ball from the kicks'"


Who you kick to isn't the point with Leeds' back line. It's how you kick.

Saints constantly found no mans land. From distance long and deep with a chase of one committed line. Worst case it runs dead with a 20 tap, that's not the end of the world, with all the defence set up on 30m line. From short make it a contest or trickle in-goal.

Is Hohaia injured or just not selected?
If I were Nathan Brown I'd be tempted to put Hohaia to full back and have Lomax & Walsh in the halves.
I think the more times Saints can get the ball into Lomax's hands the better for them.

I still don't see the benefits Wilkin at 6 brings. As a backup for injuries then fine but otherwise I'd far rather have him at 2nd row or loose.

Our kicking game drew criticism from some quarters but the bombs certainly resulted in Lomax taking a bit of a pasting which perhaps nullified his threat a bit. It also gave him fewer running opportunities.

As for Wilkin, I hope your preference is for him to play second row or loose for saints. We do have standards you know icon_wink.gif

I certainly agree with this.When i saw the team sheet on Saturday i was a lot more confident of victory seeing that Hohaia was not playing given his usual top performances against us in recent times.

No I meant for us! I'd play him at second row so he can be amongst our "cowardly" forwards who "whoop" when they go into tackles.

He's big on player welfare is Jon. So I'd give him an off-field role in stadium management. Then he could ensure the pitch isn't watered before kick off and there aren't any cameras in the dressing room.

Jon Wilkin = Carl Ablett's slower, less skilful, bitchier, older brother.
