[quote="Sal Paradise":1w0c5ge2]Why people buy companies can be confusing - like why do we have so many barbers - maybe because I am bald I don't understand it?![/quote:1w0c5ge2] It’s the same reason why Harehills has so many take away food businesses, many of which are completely empty most of the time. Believe me, the exponential growth of barbers shops has absolutely nothing to do with people’s hair growing so much faster nowadays.

The 17 will be very interesting. I'm guessing Arthur will make relatively few changes - possibly just ECW in the backs, Jenkins and O'Connor into the 17 and Gannon starting. If we lose at Salford he'll have no choice but to make more changes, or we could quickly end up in a situation similar to the last few seasons where we are under pressure on the table from the off and the reserves are less and less ready to step in due to their lack of games.

I'd expect ECW in for Riley Lumb, Holroyd starting in place of Oledski and Jenkins coming in on the bench for him, with O'Connor replacing Edgell.

If O’Connor is fit he has to start for me. Ackers was terrible last week. I’d also like to see Gannon start. ECW should get a run but it’s a shame it’s at the expense of lumb. Be interesting to see if he starts Cooper or Holroyd with Mik missing.

ECW named in the Reserve team today

TNW, Edgell and Jack Smith also named in the reserves team, so I'd assume they're dropping out. No real surprises.

Is Sinfield injured? Croft Frawley and Ackers were woeful last week. None of them deserve a start this week,its not just last week its the whole of the previous season! Why does ECW not start?

Sinfield is injured. Watching Lewis for HKR and Williams at wire and others , open field kicking is so critical to winning the territory battle by pushing teams back. We need to see better from Frawley , Croft or Connor to try and match Sneyd as it could well be key today.

We won’t see better from Frawley. He is incapable of kicking anything other than gently down peoples throats.

Big test today. We can't start lackadaisically and let them get out to a lead. If we stay in the game our much vaunted fitness might swing it given their lack of match practice. That said, after last week the heart says Leeds but the head says Salford.

This isn't a must win, but for some players it might be. If we lose at Salford I don't think Arthur will have any choice but to make some big changes. He's gone for minimal changes for this one - the likes of Frawley have to stand up and deliver a performance.

I can’t make or watch the match live today. Is there anyway of watching the match later on?

[quote="rugbyleague88":e9oovu8o]We won’t see better from Frawley. He is incapable of kicking anything other than gently down peoples throats.[/quote:e9oovu8o] He's so consistently bad that it looks like he's doing it on purpose, as though he's warming up the backs pre-game. He's amazingly accurate in the exact way you don't want. The way he kicks even looks half-d.

Awful start, terrible attempt of a tackle from Bentley, he is absolutely dog s**t

Bentley stinking the place out…

13 minutes of crap!!

patience + composure = points

Impressed with Jenkins so far, looks to have a bit about him. Connor must move to Scrum Half as soon as Miller is available.

Friggin Bentley, he’s a liability…

gannons been excellent since coming on. team wise just patience. much better after a horrific start

Go on Morg… He needs to be starting as soon as his fitness is right.

Awesome from Gannon, he needs to start every week.

Usually when you put up with a players antics it's because they're good. Bentley is an idiot and .
