We do have a GF-winning prop on loan and apparently on form at another SL club, should we want him to actually play for us.

Being very generous to the RLfans posters with your first statement Gareth! I never said it was genius or innovative just playing with some game sense, who got the offload away to JJB setting up field position for Mcshanes try? As I asked earlier on another thread, if the RFL said teams could have 5 or 6 subs should we use all those too?

Another thing that I'm not sure has been noted is Leeds having 2 weeks off due to the wakey game being postponed so the Leeds forwards had less time on the field in the last fortnight than they should have had.

We are only light 2 props and one SR we should have plenty of strength in depth. The part that bothers me is the timing of griffin going. If we didn't fancy him, why didn't we get rid earlier and recruit or trust our youth players

How dare you question our glorious infallible head coach

Maybe so..... but the point remains. Nobody is infallible (not even me )

McDermott deserves respect: of course he does.....BUT he has faults. Surely even you (if not that Spanish fella forum contributer whose name I have temporarily forgotten ) can admit that??

That would be pretty close-minded then...... never a good trait.

Why does he have to play Vickery?

Regarding the above I personally think that SO FAR this season has been an improvement. The defence appears
To have improved no end.
And yes we are not that far off the top I personally don't have a problem with Watkins at full back, but again personally would prefer to see another option on the wing instead of vickery.

Or deluded for a 'fan' of the game on a message board to believe they could offer anything, the coaches have all the experience they have plus the relevant information to hand, training etc and you think 'your' opinions from the 'stands' carry any weight?

Most suggestions ive seen indicate Watkins and Vickery playing on the right.

The defence has been a joy to watch...and I mean that. (Pity about the recent two 'soft' tries against Bradford though) .. Just need to get that attack working more slickly now. Roll on the (hopefully) harder grounds......and the return of Hardaker and BJB.

For every decision that is made there are a number of influencing factors that are not seen from the 'stands'.

Seth I am sure you're right.... but I see this forum as nothing more than an extension of being a supporter at the ground with all its inherent speculation, 'knowledge' and rapport.

More should do so IMO, rather than acting arrogantly, supersiliously or perhaps a little too seriously in their postings.

I think we should also remember that most on here were slagging off BJB`s defensive abilities not too long ago.
Granted his attacking skills are tons better than Vickerys. Then again I dont think Ablett has passed the ball to Vickery yet.
As for our forwards we will have to use Clarkson for Delaney and Singleton for Kirke.
Hopefully Kylie`s fit to replace Bailey .
We can then see how good our squad is compared to the likes of Wigans.
