McClelland will get some chances in first team this year I think. I wouldn’t be moving Tui around just yet, he needs time at 6 to show what he can and can’t do.
Myler for me is under a question though because we already know what he’s about. He’s not great in defence already and perhaps, we wouldn’t have too much to lose giving Callum a run at 7 sometime. He’s lining up at 7 for the academy this weekend.

Agreed. It's too early to bring in McClelland, but he should get some chances later in the season, or sooner if there are injuries etc.

Myler needs to deliver sooner rather than later though, and show he is worthy of being on the fringes of the England team. He's been around the squad long enough (unlike Lolohea), hasn't got the excuse of youth (unlike Walker), and as far as I know, isn't returning from a serious injury (unlike Watkins). It can be difficult for half-backs, but he wasn't playing behind a beaten pack against Wigan, yet was still outshone by Williams (who seems to be finding his form and learning to control games). Hopefully it is just a matter of getting used to the new coaching setup, and the combinations with Lolohea...

I think Furner will get it all right eventually however i don't think it will be this season. He has a huge task of bringing that forward line's age down but making sure he is bringing quality in. With the reduced interchanges i can see your forwards really starting to struggle in the final quarter of the season. I honestly don't think Hurrell will get there, it seems that the ploy is to get it to him and try to get some barge over try's and his defence so far is a little suspect. That could come on with game time of course but he is built more like a RU centre than a RL one. I would seriously put him in the back row. Where that leaves Sutcliffe though i don't know. He is really stuck in his career at the moment. I think Leeds will have to be patient for now and accept that the job that Furner has is a complete rebuild. That is a lot of work. I really rate Walker but he was bad last night. Be interesting to see if Golding get's a run next time out. Will also be interesting to see if Hurrell gets a lengthy ban for the headbutt.

you were going so well until the 'headbutt'.

Thought the backs were generally poor.
Ferres, Dwyer and Peteru had decent games and I thought Donaldson put in a good stint in defence when he came on.
Be interesting to see who gets left out when Crosby is fit.
I agree about Ward every time he gets tackled I look to see if he gets up.
I'm saying nothing about Walker other than he is still young.

ReWalker.I've said before his heart is not at Leeds,vastly overrated.

I couldn't agree more. Walker has potential but is not as good as all the hype he gets from Sky commentators and some fans. I think he's guilty of believing all the hype and often thinks he can take on the opposition by himself. For me, Golding, who's heart is in Leeds, may be not so flash but he's more reliable and always gives 100%.

I’m so glad Leeds don’t go by the Wigan fan coaching manual.
As for he can’t defend, I’d ask Hardaker if his ribs are a little sore still this morning. What do we know though, he’s only been a centre in the NRL for the past few years.

He can't defend stick him in the back row was the bit that puzzled me!!!!!

I think he makes some bad decisions over when to take the line on. That often improves with experience - and ateotd who wants to watch a fullback who never runs? However I would also add that some players never learn.

As i said, that could improve with game time. He could be rusty. Missing tackles at centre you concede try's. Missing tackles in the back row you have covering players to back you up. My point was more in the way you seem to want to use him. He isnt a wigers centre so if he is to be used to smash through defences then his weight and power would be more beneficial in the 2nd row. Its just an observation. In response to the poster before you, just because a player comes from the 'holy grail' that is the NRL doesn't make them automatically good in SL. I wasn't here to be controversial or have an argument, its not my style. Just commenting on what i saw.

Have you ever watched Leeds??? Our wingers and centres are our forwards. If we move Hurrell to 2nd row he will stand and watch Harry Newman carting ball up the middle.
