They are professionals who should be taking the opportunity to put themselves in the shop window. If that is the problem it underlines why we need to get rid of these players in the first place.

It will be interesting to see if Furner drops anyone for this game. Judging by his press conference, he was most annoyed with discipline in the second quarter of the game.

Incidentally, the Leeds players with the worst discipline were:

Merrin - pens 2
Parcell - pens 2
Lolohea - errors 3
Donaldson - pens 1, errors 1
Sutcliffe - pens 1, errors 1
Peteru - pens 1
Oledski - pens 1
Myler - pens 1
Singleton - pens 1

Mick we don't want to get back three decades - no wonder you want to palm Kear off - you have been watching Bradford for the last 18 months.

Do we agree this is a must win game

We should have a poll. For every game.

"Is this a must win game?"

I don't know. If we win, it doesn't guarantee we are out of the relegation dogfight this year, and if we lose it doesn't mean we couldn't still finish mid-table.

For me it's more about confidence and morale - for supporters and the club staff. I would be surprised if London don't bring their "A" game for this fixture, we need to make that irrelevant by playing really well.

If you use "must-win" in terms of keeping the fans on side with the team and coach, there might be something in that! We lose this I can imagine some booing.

Don't know about must win, not really into that nonsense. But it is definitely an unaccapetable to lose game, no question.

But we all know that Sutcliffe will start in second row and JJB will probably get a bench spot.

Assuming he isn't injured, this is pretty telling for Singleton if he's been dropped for the second time this year.

You mean Mr “I will say anything controversial to get attention” what a surprise

Yes - I'm not convinced that Furner is impressed so far, but long season and all that...

Delighted to see Holroyd being considered now, maybe not the right game to play him (just in terms of the pressure) but absolutely right to get him into the first team environment and start to build for a few appearances.

Early decision on Newman to centre and whoever is going to defend inside him would be wise, hopefully they made that call and trained that way all week.

I don't see JJB and Ablett both playing, so the question is who else sits this one out. Including Holroyd (but not Merrin) we only have 4 props in the squad. I'd hope we play Merrin in the back row and Holroyd features. We need to switch some players out to send a message that what they've been producing isn't acceptable.

Singleton's stats were dreadful against Hull for an experienced front-rower and I haven't seen anything from him (from the TV games) that warrants his selection tbh.
