Agreed - my mistake

I'd be a little more ruthless, even if it means blooding players from the U20s ahead of when you'd maybe want to. If McDermott rollls out the same 17 again after his post-match comments then he's a lame duck with the players IMO.

Webb, Chisholm/Wilson, Ablett, Watkins, Hall, Sinfield, McShane, Leuluai, Buderus, Cross, Delaney, Pitts, JJB

Subs: Burrow, Bailey, Kirke, Ward

I've mentioned the very same approach elsewhere AG but i'd have Singleton in for Kirke ,JJb would be in the backrow with Delaney and Clarkson at 13.

I'm not sure what Clarkson offers, whether you play him from the start or off the bench.

Doesn't dominate collisions either with or without the ball, doesn't have an offload game or quick feet. Needs to kick on and show that having a full-time contract is improving his game because I'm not seeing it at the moment.

He has an eye for the try line brings much more enthusiasm in defence than many established stars imo and whilst i agree there are things he needs to improve i don't think he deserves to be cut.

Delaney should be back as he played for the U20s against Hull KR

Huddersfield are roughly 2/1 at the bookies, surely worth a few quid?!

No it isnt on SKY

He probably wouldnt do any worse than Burrow

WRT to Burrow he was playing 1st receiver and simply handing on to Sinfield in the 1st half and completely ineffective in attack.

Second half I thought he attacked the line a lot more, whether out of dummy half or 7 and we went forward a lot better as a result.

Might have to attend then.

I shall be making this my first game of 2011, as I am at a business event in the conference suite before hand. I have watched Hudds a couple of times lately, and confidently predict a comprehensive Hudds win. You never can quite tell with Leeds though.
