They should still comfortably beat us. I can't see where any of our tries will come from without the danger of Lomax because Wilkin looks lost without him.

Hopefully Makinson will threaten a bit more with the ball as I don't think he has done yet. Whether that is because he isn't getting the service or whether it is because of his lack of ability in that department: I'm not too sure.

It maybe me, but I thought that Laffranchi was a bit wider and playing 2nd row last night. I think TP and Walmsley were the replacement props and Laffranchi the 2nd rower?? With Tompson also proping.

That is where Laffranchi should always play. In fact I'm pretty sure he covered Manu's spot when he was off.

I'd be happy for him to miss this year.

Chris Hill maybe?

I was thinking that.
To be fair to him, Ryan Bailey was very good against us on monday and Leeds have been going well.
Dom Crosby getting big wraps.
Larne Patrick was looking good last year and is very dynamic, but I haven't really noticed him this year.
What about your lad up at Hull? I've always liked Lynch, but how's young Liam Watts been going?
Justin poore of Wakefield has declared himself English, hasn't he?
There's also the possibility they could use Sam Burgess and Ben Westwood to share the 4th prop work?
