| I think we've got to give McClelland a go or if lui gets injured we'll be back with sutcliffe-myler for the rest of the year.

| I just reckon this would be the game to try McLelland again.
Difficult selection but it’s a good problem for Agar. He’ll go with whoever trains best.

| Quote KaeruJim="KaeruJim"Controversial, but we could bench McLelland instead of Dwyer for this one. He could cover hooker at a pinch, and otherwise come in to the halves to add a bit of spark if needed. You could push Sutcliffe back to second row or loose to spell Merrin.'" I don't think Agar will do that.I would start McLelland and if it's not working move Sutty to 7.i think he'll play safe like as all coaches do and start Sutty.If he does then I doubt McLelland will be on the bench

| Quote KaeruJim="KaeruJim"So this side but swap McLelland in for Dwyer.
Hate to say it but Sutcliffe probably has to stay in the side to cover injuries at centre or FB.
Toss up between Donaldson and Smith for final bench spot, but probably Donaldson because he works his socks off in D and is pretty solid.
Wonder if we’ll see Ward or Crosby before season end.'"
Ward will be 3 to 4 weeks. God knows on Crosby or Ablett.

Not sure it's a good problem - our starting 7, who's hopeless, is banned and we have no obvious replacement...? We get to choose between a promising youngster who hasn't kicked on, an erratic hooker or a 'utility' player who is ineffective or worse in each position he plays.

| I wouldnt think Dwyer would be under consideration surely.
Am I right in thinking a 14 point win takes us 8th? Optimistic I know.

| McClelland has hardly been a stand out when he has played in the lower grades not sure why he is being considered in a game that Leeds really need to win

| McLelland has shown some nice touches actually. He uses the little drop off too much but he has a good all-round game for his age.
Would we rather play a more physical selection who isn’t a natural 7, or the other way round?

| Some players look amazing at junior level - particularly quick lads. Most of them never develop the rest of the skills they need. No idea if McClelland will make it, but Sutcliffe is a hopeless halfback.
I just think its worth a go playing McClelland alongside a proper halfback and see how he goes. If he's utter rubbish then swap in Sutcliffe.

| It would be a chance for McLelland to stake a claim. He’s probably another year or two off if he does make it.
This just highlights the need for a new specialist half back to partner Lui for me.

Does he have pace as I thought he looked a yard short against Bradford?.

| McClelland is a decent young half but needs to take the line on more. His defence is ok and hes a good footballer but it's a tough ask for a young half to step in and organise and be a playmaker but he was signed as a back up half back and he should be given the opportunity to play and gain experience when our regular 7 is out.
I think it took Callum time to get back into RL after a spell in Union but hes done a good job in 19s when hes played which actually hasn't been that much. Hes the best half in our academy set up by a mile.
Give him a go, accept he will make errors and let's not write him off or get on his back if a teenage half back doesn't perform like Thurston or Cronk.
Hes got the potential to be a Super League half back in my opinion but hes not that yet cos he lacks experience. He can only gain that by playing and given opportunities gradually. Something we should have been doing with a few others.
