Ryan Hall is playing out of his skin, making hard yards forward from the back and dragging players out of position. He takes massive pressure off our pack. It's not all about tries.

| In last 2 games against Wire Leeds have been dominated round the ruck and down the middle. So we have to start on the front foot, I'd load up on size as well.

| I don't know if it's necessarily about size, I think it's more about getting numbers in to the tackle.
In most of our games this season, certainly the ones in which we've played well, we've got 3 or 4 people in to the tackle. Against Wire we've only had 1 or 2. Wire have started well and we've never really recovered and got on top of them.
If we get numbers in to the tackle we'll do ok. Also them not having Higham or Westwood or Russell is a big plus for us.

I wouldn't say he playing out of his skin but I know what he brings to the team what most other wingers don't in super league and that is making hard yards down the middle and giving the forwards a rest but I can't but I think his try scoring form has dropped dramatically since 2011/2012 and you do expect your wingers to score 20 plus tries a season

| We have scored nearly 200 more points than anyone else. If it means Hall has to sacrifice his own figures to give more tries across the squad, then that's all we should be bothered about.

| Of course you need to rest players on Friday - i'd suggest about 7 or 8, specifically Hardaker, Peacock, Cutherbtson, Aiton, Hall, Briscoe and Watkins. They're all looking tired and in need of a 1 game rest.

| It will be interesting to see how Sandow goes. Very much an unknown quantity for both sides. Don't rest players until we're sure of a top two place.

I don't care how many tries a winger scores, I'm only bothered how many tries the team scores. I'd imagine Hall's tries have been spread between him, Moon and Ablett (or whoever plays left second row), partly at least, because of Hall's presence on the wing. Moon's try on Friday a good example.
I don't think Hall was particularly playing better a couple of years ago I just think he's playing slightly differently and so is the team. It's now not just a case of passing it to Hall 10m out. We have other threats in other areas, not least of which is Watkins and Briscoe on the right with Hardaker behind.

| Leeds are high scoring at the moment so the team dynamics must be right??
Just need a little more control in defence and we will sail through the super 8's
With the exception of Warrington and Wigan we consistently beat the rest

| A wire side who have flattered to deceive adding a player like Sandow is a big threat. He could be the spark that gets them going and I wouldn't fancy playing an in form Warrington in the play-offs.
We can't think about resting players if only for the fact that we could kill any burning embers of hope before they even get started.

I also care about how much tries the team scores and we have been the best attacking team all season and we have our tries spread all over the squad and don't get me wrong I think Ryan Hall is still WBW but he isn't scoring tries like he used too in my opinion

| Part of the reason that left edge isn't contributing the tries it has in previous years IMO, is because Leeds now have a genuine threat on the other side of the pitch.
For a long period of time, Leeds were predominantly a left edge team with the likes of Webb, Lauitiiti and Senior ranging out on that side. So the right hand side was basically where the ball went early in the tackle count, with the plan then being to shift it left and let the strike runners have it in some space.
Now with Watkins and Briscoe on the right, they can run attacking plays on either side with equal chance of success.
