The tackling bags will be out this week!

Looks like it was rust. On expectation, what does Huddersfield getting niled at home to Hull do for people's expectation of us not making the top 4?

Dunno. Not many people in the predictions thread had Huddersfield in the top 4 anyway. Catalans were a much more common choice.

and cas losing to wakey

Cas are a poor side without Clark - their half backs/hooker are poor can't see them making the 8.

BM tends to generally be very conservative when it comes to selections. The team selected for KR is about as conservative as could be - especially JJB at prop instead of Yates/Mulhern. In fact if there was one area our ex-prop seems to be stuck in a rut its the whole front row.

Oddly enough though BM also made the weirdest/bravest selection I can remember when he picked Keinhorst for the CC final a few years back.

In terms of blooding players, putting Burrow on the bench means there will rarely be a spot for any back, unless its a big unit like Sutcliffe who can play in the forwards. So other than that its injuries.

Just on Burrow, when was the last time he really changed a big game coming off the bench? Was it the 2012 GF?

In all fairness he is rarely used as the interchange hooker especially in regular season.the play off series of 2011 and 12 were the only times he was regularly used that way and shock horror..we won both.

He wasn't in 2012. He started at Wigan in Playoffs in 2012 at 7 because McGuire got suspended for a high shot in the Catalans game and he started hooker in the GF with Lunt coming on mid way thru the match (and not even for Burrow, so he stayed on the 80)

I tipped us to squeeze into the top 4. Any result between the two perennial underachievers of Hudds and Hull is unlikely to be of much significance but were either of those teams to surprise themselves by actually putting in some performances that count then either could displace us from that four.

I remember running this at the start of the year. Turns out GH was right after all about this being Leeds 'greatest ever squad' as my, at the time tongue in cheek statement from him came true! the 3 people that demanded nothing less will be pleased

As it turns out...

As it turns out it was you in those games and us Winning EVERYTHING.

Feel like a Clown yet?
