bailey is out. clerical error in your office included him in squad. he's been replaced by ben jones bishop in 19 man squad. its up on rhinos web page.

Im really not happy with the squad re the backs. I would:

BJB has to be in the squad hes too good not be. Either wing or full back for me.
Kallum Watkins has to start at centre. He is so much better than Brett Delaney in terms of attacking threat. Delaney is ponderous at centre he just hits the ball up all the time. Hes solid enough but is more a second rower.

Sinny at loose for me and Webb in at 6. Yeah my teams is radical but we all got an opinion right, mine just gives the chance for some of our young, undoubtedly talented english lads a good chance. I know this aint possible due to squad we have picked but my lineup:

BJB

Smith
Watkins
Senior
Hall

Webb
Burrow

Leuluai
Buderus
Cross

JJB
Lauitiiti

Sinfield

Bench:
Hauraki
Delaney
Burgess
Mcshane

So that means no Kirke, Ablett (its harsh that i know), Pitts and thankfully the useless Bailey (whos inj anyway)

ok i might have to swap one of my 2nd rowers for a prop... Kirke then.

Two of the second rowers can play centre (indeed Mr Delaney is your 'champion' for that position). Burrow (and others) can cover interchange hooker if necessary.

Looking forward to the game regardless of the ts that plague the game.

But you will still only have one prop to interchange with the starting props

If burrows is covering interchange hooker whos covering scrum half? Really hope your coach thinks along same lines as you

Wigan, Saints and Warrington all drop points. Time start some early dominance, start at the top, finish at the top.

I may have missed something but where is Clarkson??

Has'nt made this squad mate ,maybe Brian Mc thought he needed more work after his broken thumb or he's just missed out on this occasion.
