While I agree with your comment printer about how more than just non workhorse forwards would help bring more out of Sinfield as it was for England the problem is that these are not in a huge abundance of them. The England team obviously have what is considered the creme de la creme of that year and Sinfield (Widdop as well) utilised them very well. In superleague I believe that not many teams have more than one of them e.g. Wigan Farrel, Sts Soliola, Hull Ellis but apart from maybe Warrington who have Hill and Harrison(unlucky injury record). Sinfield unfortunately will have to make the most of what Leeds have because getting a forward like that is difficult. I am going to be positive and hope Cuthbertson in the mix and putting Sutcliffe at LF will help the cause with threatening the opposition line.

"Solid" is not the word I would use to describe Tomkins. Now Hardaker at FB on the other hand!!!

JC has already shown his hand .....

My money's on Stevie Ward (who no doubt will continue to be played in a role considered to be unsuitable by most)

One thing is for sure it will not be the captain - so McGuire is the one most on here like to deflect the blame away from his half back partner.

JJB will also not be immune if his previous habit of giving penalties away raises its head. Hopefully not as he seemed to have improved significantly in that area when he came back from injury last year.

What I saw of him in the NRL last year, he didn't look "first name on the teamsheet" material let's put it that way.

I certainly wouldn't have him in my team ahead of either Locke or Johnson.

I'd say Tomkins would go on better in the halves than Townsend or Tommy L.
