Singleton dropped?

Seems like it as no mention of an injury.

Which leaves us with only 3 recognised out and out props in the squad, so I'm guessing that Achurch will be used in the front row instead (which I don't think is correct)

With Sutcliffe not needed in the halves if Sinfield is fit then put him to loose. Now we have several options in the back row (Ablett, Achurch, Walters, Sutcliffe, S.Ward, Minchella and when they're fit JJB and Clarkson) so for me and because of his previously documented poor passing skills as a 2nd rower then let's put Delaney at prop.

BJB
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sinfield
McGuire
Delaney
Aiton
Peacock
Ablett
Walters
Sutcliffe

Burrow
Bailey
Mulhern
Achurch/S.Ward/Minchella as your back row option.

I'd go:
1. Jones-Bishop
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. McGuire
8. Bailey
9. Aiton
10. Peacock
11. Ablett
12. Delaney
13. Sutcliffe

14. Burrow
15. Mulhern
16. Achurch
17. Walters

Delaney's "poor passing skills" are mainly because nobody bothers running lines off him. The number of times he makes angled runs just crying out for someone to pick a line off him is ridiculous.

For someone who gets dismissed as a bit of a big daft lad (mainly by association with his fellow "Bash Brother"icon_wink.gif he's got a lot to offer if his teammates get on his wavelength and start working unselfishly off the ball.

Would be happy with that but I would swap s ward for Sutcliffe. Would like to see what he has to offer at loose. Also like to see Mulhern get another game, he seems physically more ready than others

I'd be surprised if Moon plays

I noticed that as well. Most times he tries to get his body and arms in front of the defender as he goes into contact and you can see him looking for a runner. He may not have Ali's ability to get the ball out from anywhere but he needs a support runner. In years past a younger McGuire and Webb would probably have been sniffing.

There have been examples of that but not the majority. But in the danger zone he fails to move the ball on timely, to his outside centre. That person is Watkins, exactly the person who should be getting the ball in that area. Kills it. The way he pins the ball to himself, he's not looking to pass in the main.

If Delaney is being declared a passer on a higher wavelength than the average Leeds player, I'm declaring Sutcliffe to be an astute goal kicker.

Classic Southstander.

Moon's gonna play with the help of a pain killing injection.

Leeds have looked toothless without Sinfield, so very glad the skipper is back.

Ablett and Burrow also give us a well needed boost in the attacking options.

Hope Moon is fit as he has been our most consistent in form centre. Burrow should play 7 as we badly need a boost in the half backs, however we have been a bit predicable at 9 since Aiton returned.

Think that is more to the people around him. Certainly made a massive difference to the defence since his return, and god knows what would have happened without him there.

I agree fully.
