I think BMcD and GH might see the CC as our best chance of a trophy this year. (Not saying they aren't targeting everything, just that the CC is our easier chance)

It's certainly what I think. With that in mind I think I would also put out our strongest side for this game. Don't underestimate featherstone in the cup. Ideal world, we'd get a good lead and then bring off cuthbo and parcel.

Seems harsh, Only Cuthbertson has played every game so far.

I saw them at widnes and wakey. they looked shattered. an ideal time to rest 3 or 4. wasted

A valid point.

But you know as well as anyone else that isn't tactical.

Come come, it's only our players that are run ragged, because our coach is a fierce disciplinarian. He wants...nay demands our players to play through whatever injuries or niggles they may have to make sure we have the tiniest chance possible to win any trophy. Aaaaaaahhhh the beauty of being a Rhinos fan!

who mentioned discipline? only you
players from all clubs have mentioned how tired they are. the coaches said it. macdermott said it!
so why not rest 4/5 for what is a comfortable home game when we have a hard set of games coming up?
absolutely crazy not to rest key players

And if Fev upset the applecart, I suppose you would be right behind the coach on resting first teamers for fringe/ reserve players.....yeah right. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

you think they could? not a chance. is burrow at hooker a weakness? worse than parcel but good enough to for fev surely?
walker at full back for golding who clearly isn't fit.
Galloway rested as he clearly is carrying a knock.
this is a comfortable game. if a weakened leeds couldn't win easily then I don't hold hope for the rest of the season

The CC is littered with big name casualties, who quite probably thought like you....Macca can do no right in some folks eyes. Every silver lining has a cloud eh?

I've given him plenty of praise for this years turn around. I've also had a go when he's done stupid things, like not using subs at widnes when players were struggling to walk let alone run.
I call it as I see it. unlike some who have agenda's both for and against him I don't.
for me this is a wasted opportunity. if anyone things fev have a chance they are deluded. even they are thinking of resting players because of fixture congestion.

The more I think about it, the better it seems. Not only does it enhance our chances of winning, but it has the added bonus of raising pulses within the teeth gnashing brigade.

I agree with Tad. Mental to see our strongest team out.

Probably looking to get the attack firing.
