It's also whether Gardner and Meli want to stay, they may both plan to retire.

Jones dropped or injured?

On the bench, Flanagan and Walker miss out.

What? A back on the bench?

I am awaiting the fits of Outrage! from Saints fans!

Very interesting. Will Percival be up against ablett? Big physical test for a youngster if so. Moon a good player too.

Big test, but excited to see him get a chance. Looks a class act but it's a big step up

Ah I see, didn't even check the bench for him.

I think he was always going to end up in the back row, it was just a case of waiting until he is ready. I assume that Brown thinks that the time is this Friday.

Do we think we'll actually line up like that or will Meli come inside with Percival on the wing?

Well Brown likes to shake it up a bit. So lets see what happens.

Jones is a good option on the bench. As i mentioned last week I think he will soon start to move into the backrow

Last season his impact was great at centre, but I do not think he has good enough hands to play there the more he has played. He never passes!

Cannot wait to see Percival play, could be a real threat tonight given how little Leeds will know about him.

They'll know about him. Don't forget Barrie Mac is involved with the Leeds academy and Leeds will have played against him many times.

Of course, but I think they would have planned to line up against Jones and Meli on that side.

I think the success of Jones last year was that he was a reliable pair of hands, held the line well and had good size for go forward.

He could still be a good centre, but more in the style of a Scott Gibbs than a Jamie Lyon.

I'm either gonna run through you or over you style. (then pass)
