Leuluai for Bailey and Hardaker for Vickery the only squad changes announced for the Wire game. Hardaker might play on the wing if he's being eased back?

Imagine Clarkson will come in for Delaney if he's not fit, otherwise as you were.

McShane replacing Peacock was Leeds' second substitution. When he came on the Leeds forwards at that point were Burrow, Jones-Buchanan, Delaney and Ward from the starting set with the introduction of Kirke and McShane off the bench.

If Jones-Buchanan wasn't pushed up to prop when McShane was introduced then who was?



Poor read through fatigue it appeared to be as was the inability to retain possession. Forget watching the ball after it's spilt watch Jones-Buchanan scraping himself off the floor, getting back behind his team-mates and the laboured kick chase that followed.



You emphasise my point re the tired kick chase by noting the kick chases towards the end of the half that followed after the introduction of Achurch for Ward and the return of Bailey for Delaney. That's why I noticed how much he was struggling when pushed up to prop as you exect to see him leading the chase not bringing up the stragglers.



Agreed poor defence as a group which is why I included Ablett and Delaney in my original comment rather than isolate Jones-Buchanan who was the least of the three to blame on that one.



He didn't lead the chase in the 34th minute but he was getting back on track by then having caught his second wind and pushing through the wall. He only lasted the opening three or four minutes in the second half though (even after having a break) before being replaced by Peacock - so the tank must have been well drained by his standards.

Why push anyone to that extent when you have a fresh man on the bench though?

...I was going to post a long winded reply, but I can't be d

Hopefully clarkson gets some minutes after his decent start, seems to be have out of the side lately.

No you're absolutely right, I can't.

While watching the cas game can't help but feel relieved that Hauraki is no longer a rhinos player. It baffles me how he got a contract with Leeds

Also how did we manage to lose to cas. They are dreadful!!

Because there was a monsoon, we lost three players with injury could not return so limited spelling of players, we knocked on about thirty times gifting ball away as we'll as needless penalties, it's castlefords cup final but for us another league game, it happens but we all know we could put fifty past them on another day, always results like this in a season as Warrington fans will know from there Easter game at widens

Have you seen the Logout button? It's like the tellys stanby thing

Guess McDermott got it right then.

Before someone ploughs in, what was wrong with McDermott's handling of the front row rotation this week? Got good minutes out of Leuluai and Peacock (28 minutes in Kylie's first spell, IIRC), used Moore and Achurch to supplement them with the other three back rowers going well too.

Presumably he should have brought Singleton on just for the sake of it?

I'm actually not sure when the right time to have brought Singleton on tonight was. Hopefully, the 2nd sub prop will get some game time against London next week.

Meh.

It was a great win but again we subbed JP for Mcshane and then Moore only got 3minutes after H/T before getting subbed when he was going ok.
Then when we kicked the last penalty JP and jjb were visibly knackered it may not catch up in 2/3 weeks but imo why have a 17 man squad and not use it?
Just to clarify no-one should come "for the sake of it" b=ut at the same time why select a sub "foro the sake of it" because lets be honest it was alwasy gonna be a tough close game.

You needn't have worried! It didn't matter to you in the end as our forwards have decided that they did enough by bullying Huddersfield the other week so they thought they'd have a few weeks off. They've been dreadful over Easter after being so good in the snow the other week.

Your pack won that game tonight though bossing ours.
