Quote: chapylad "Good points Phantom and I think you are right that Leilua might be used between centre and second row this year.
Barring injuries I`m not sure where the 3 Leeds lads fit in.
I thought maybe Muzzi and possibly O`Connor might have gone to Fev.'"
My guess is that somewhere along the line the 3 Leeds lads mentioned will average 10-15 games each for Fev, depending on injuries, form and of course Leeds call-ups, and I think that will meet the requirements for both teams.
My guess is that Muizz and O'Connor (and Johnson) are just that bit further down the pecking order at Leeds and the club wanted to send them somewhere where they were more likely to be guaranteed being in the 17 most weeks. Those 3 are all very good players but I think all 3 would need injuries at Fev to make the 17.
We have a cracking Championship squad at Fev but it's very much an ageing one - I think we will have five forwards over the age of 35 at the start of the season. Ferres, Kopczak, Moors etc are all likely to be rested from time to time, and I think opportunities will arise.
