We'll regardless i suppose, it is no coincidence if true, that there has been a big shift positive.

Up until recently whenever I've watched leeds , he's looked immensely overweight and unfit. But I was very impressed with him last night.

Have always liked him ...

He's our new "Bionic Barrel"

He seems to do the hard work and seems tog et a few quick PTBs here and there.

I do hope the "fans" who chucked a brick in the stand are caught. A young woman came off second best to it

Saw a photo on Facethingy - looked nasty.

I know we won on Friday, and quite convincingly (although I think Child has his usual inept performance but seemed to favour us considerably) but I was driving on Friday so didn't have a drink all night and I still couldn't work out the interchanges/positional swaps.

I was like BMcD has a pack of 'Leeds Rhinos Top Trumps' and every now and again turns to Jason Davidson and says "Now for full-back, pick a card... any card".

Wasn't that always going to be the case with Hall on the bench unless he was a straight swap for another winger?

What are people's views on Luke Briscoe BTW? If we had a reserve team it would be an absolute no brainer to keep him in the squad. Even with the current setup I'd argue someone who can fill in and do a job in a number of positions is worth keeping more than say an extra below average forward.

Fullback made sense to me tbh, Sutcliffe is playing better than Zak in that position
It would also be quite harsh to drop Burrow given his form so he started at 7 and moved to 9

The alternative is burrow to the bench and Sutcliffe to 6
That might be the best way to go whilst we still have zak
Sutcliffe has already showed enough that for me (if zak goes) he should get the 1 shirt, in the knowledge that we also have Watkins and Golding as backup, we can then spend our money on a 9 or a 7

What didn't make sense was Keinhorst on the bench with Achurch starting!
Absolute disgrace to the idea of playing for your position!

I have a feeling you have not seen many matches, judging by that post.

No issues with the lineup on Friday. Sutcliffe should be named at 1 if Hardaker is going who can still do a job for us in the three quarters if needed. Hardaker starting ahead of Hall will have been because of match fitness and don't forget Moon had to depart with concussion. Could've made a straight swap with Keinhorst I suppose but in those conditions why not bring on a guy in Hall who can run it in like a forward (Keinhorst for his positives doesn't make big metres).

Later on obviously Falloon doesn't have 80 mins in him so a shuffle with Burrow to 9, Sutcliffe to HB, Hardaker to FB and Keinhorst on to centre. Yes it's moving players around but to positions they are very familiar with.

I thought having a winger on the bench was a little decadent and didn't Zak drop to FB in the latter of the game anyway?
