Dont underestimate the impact of a guy like Lilly who is constantly talking and telling players where to go, even though he was poor against Hull with ball in hand he still provided us with a decent attacking shape

There has to be a purpose to the talking and directions though. Lilley stands there constantly pointing when the ball is 30 yards away. This is something he will learn over time. Maguire is a different level to Lilley. Maggsy has said he probably wont be fit this week but when fit he will be straight back in.

That's what a good organising half should be doing. Telling people where they need to be not just on that play, but on the one after and the one after that.

It's something nobody else at Leeds has looked remotely capable of doing since Sinfield retired.

what he does is sit, organise and let his partner go out and play. last week was burrows best game of the season. he'd no responsibilities, just go out and do what he does best

McGuire doesn't make it and Moon absent with his knee. Delaney also missing through illness.

Sutcliffe
Briscoe
Watkins
Keinhorst
Hall
Lilley
Burrow
Galloway
Segeyaro
Singleton
Ferres
Ablett
JJB

Garbutt
Cuthbertson
Achurch
Golding

Looks strong even with those who miss out as Lilley and Keinhorst have both stood up well this year. Not keen on Golding on the bench though after the Widnes game a few weeks ago, I wouldn't mind this time if we did only use 16 men unless he needs to come on for an injury.

You serious?

Do you know what one of the most important aspects of last tackle plays is?

The 4th tackle play.

Organising plays in advance is what should be happening.

Surely Mullally or Cameron or baldwinson instead of Golding?. maybe a doubt over Sutty or Lilley?

Is Smith still in Australia at the moment? If the plan is to give Segeyaro a breather and push Sutcliffe up to HB and Burrow to hooker then I'd rather we just gave Sam Hallas 15-20 mins as a straight swap and see how he'd go.

Yes mate i know perfectly well thanks. Just dont see him organising much at all. Pointing isnt organising.

can you hear him? how do you know he isn't speaking and directing play?

Hmmmm, shown a couple of times we could have too much for them in attack when it sticks but in defence we're letting them make metres too easily off of nothing special. JJB for one isn't winning collisions at all in defence.

Silly penalties as usual but better than most games this season.

That try deserved a look by the VR

HKR's 2nd try? Almost c0cked it up but try for me. We just don't seem to have the same intensity in defence compared to the last two weeks. Atmosphere at the ground seems quite flat.

Shocking first half especially by Leeds.
Good to see this is a bottom 4 game.

hicks giving us very little. shouldn't ref a side two weeks in a row.
