I think they style of play was the most pleasing thing. It's been a long long time since we offloaded like that. Let's hope penny has dropped and that's how we need to play now.

I think it’s quite simlple, having two starting props allowing Cutherbertson to pmay at loose (his best position in my book) meant he was able to play his natural game, likewise parcell.

So its purely down to that why we've been so poor at times this year??

why did we look organised and the previous games been a complete shambles?
I agree we looked good. not sure why it's taken so long to figure out. let's see what wednesday brings

You throw enough at a wall, eventually, some will stick.

Not solely down to that but not having wnough props has massively hampered our play

no big men and no props so why try and beat teams up the middle? bit silly don't you think?

Yes but when the other players are compensating for the lack of props by doing more defensive work it hampers the attacking play. Parcell thrives off big men punching through and getting quick play the balls, this hasn’t been happening.

I understand you just want to pin everything on the coach but there is more to it than that IMO.

It will be interesting to see whether that narrow loss spurs the team on or dents the confidence even more

I agree quick play the balls help but it worked Friday with the same amount of big men we had in recent games so that defeats that argument. the coach should have solved the problem weeks ago so yes, he is at fault.clearly st fault

Squad for Wednesday:
1. Ashton Golding
2. Tom Briscoe
4. Liam Sutcliffe
6. Joel Moon
8. Adam Cuthbertson
9. Matt Parcell
14. Brad Dwyer
16. Anthony Mullally
17. Mitch Garbutt
19. Brett Ferres
22. Ash Handley
24. Jack Walker
25. Jordan Lilley
26. Harry Newman
27. Cameron Smith
28. Mikolaj Oledzki
30. Josh Walters
32. Tom Holroyd
23. Jack Ormondroyd

With this in mind, I’m guessing Lilley & Oledzki stop out.

Walker
Briscoe Newman Handley Golding
Sutcliffe Moon
Garbutt Parcell Mullally
Ferres Walters
Cuthbertson

Dwyer Smith Holroyd Ormondroyd

I would go with the following on the basis Walker has had several hits to the head this past two or three games and Oledezki is given a bit longer to recover and other than Trout we do not have many more options.

Golding
Briscoe
Newman
Sutcliffe
Handley
Moon
Lilley
Garbutt
Parcell
Mullalley
Ferres
Smith
Cuthbertson
Subs
Dwyer
Ormandroyd
Walters
Holroyd

Aaron bower from the guardian just tweeted this

Leeds have already named their 19-man squad for tomorrow’s game with Catalans but understand there may yet be a new face featuring for the Rhinos on Wednesday. Would expect some sort of announcement today

I asked if the new face was academy or signing and he confirmed signing.

I’m told that Luke Briscoe has been training with Leeds all week and has re-signed for Leeds and plays tomorrow.
