I think if he bulks up in the close season and makes second row his position he could be a good player. wigan targeted him and he struggled to handle it. just wasn't big enough

Achurch plays then! Keinhorst drops out. I feel sorry for him as he has give it his all and for the most part played well. But has had some frailtease in D.

Keinhorst has been better when starting in the second row. When he's come off the bench, he isn't an impact player and he wasn't going to start ahead of Ablett, Ward and a fit Delaney. Therefore for me Achurch is the right about. That said, Keinhorst has really impressed and with a good off season should be pushing next year

I think all of us on here would second that.

Keinhorst doesn't appear to have the physical frailties that Achurch has though?

I second that too

Keinhorst also has good hands and a rugby brain and runs good lines.

Just so we all get this straight! If we lose we are not gonna blame the omission of Keinhorst?

Good call

(Unless an obvious scapegoat arises during the game)

Achurch is the better second row option. Keinhorst is unlucky to miss out and offers better versatility. Tough close call to be made by the coach could argue either way

Unless Achurch has a Marcus Bai moment.

I would be questioning what happend in the other 4,799 moments that led to one costing us the game. If we lose today on a single moment there will have been some f*cking average performances in the Leeds team.

I thought Achurch more than justified his selection. All the forwards, including the bench were excellent.

I agree. Garbutt has impressed hugely since slotting seamlessly into the pack and playing his given role. Singleton scored his customary regular try and Cuthbertson seems to be operating more as a stand off these days. Delaney, Ward and Ablett did tons of 'dirty work' ..... Sinfield and Peacock are certainly going out on a high! Superb !! Achurch looked dangerous running out wide where he is clearly at his most effective. Kylie too ran it in hard.

Wardy was immense. And those that slated Briscoe at end of last year, I hope your hanging your heads in shame. He is world class that lad.
