Think we've got a good chance but will be a very tough game but they're for the taking but we need some better attacking ideas.

I'd say our defence is currently good enough this game. Our attack on the other hand is not. Work needed during the week, but I'm confident we can win this game.

You can only beat what's in front of you. Last night Quins were very poor and I don't think the flat atmosphere helped either. They'll raise their game at Leeds.

I think that they might have also had one eye on it last night as well. Less than a week to go and all that.

COME ON YOU BULLS! Can't wait for this one but well need to improve a hell of a lot

Well I'd keep Kearney at FB, move Nero to right centre, Halley to left wing and reardon to left centre

Despite only winning three games, Leeds have scored hal as many points again as us. Going in hope rather than expectation.

Unless you use a very big, or very sharp, stick?

Or send for a bazooka.

Since we lack both a very big stick and a bazooka (the last one of those is a Bunny now) we'll need to resort to a very sharp one. Maybe the one likely to be playing at FB?

What's Platt done wrong?

Kearney
Sheriffe
Platt
Nero
Halley
Sykes
Orford

Is how i'd go in the backs.

And you want to drop Platty on what basis? He was solid last night as like the week before! Macca made the right call on dropping Halley last night - he has been poor for us this season so far!

That's a big call. He's been nowhere near his form last season, but I wouldn't say poor. Nero, Reardon & Worrincy are the one's who've been poor so far imo.

Surely Leeds have arranged a ref who can prevent that Mick?

Dave's for has dipped compared to last season - possibly complacency creaping in?

I would agree with all three too - Nero another one who seems to have become complacent with his centre spot - maybe he would be best used as a replacement 2nd rower? Reardon i feel just needs more game time and confidence and Worrincy - i think enough has been said/made of his contribution this season!

Fair enough. I don't think it's complacency with Halley - He knows he hasn't got a god given right to his place in the squad and this is reflected by his 100% effort every time he takes the field. I think it's just a case of things not going right for him myself.

Nero never impressed me too much till the back-end of last season. Now he's gone back to his average ways and looks lazy & disinterested. If him and Reardon don't gel soon we really need a change there.

Nero hasn't been the player he was last year and Worrincy has been very disappointing but I think Reardon should be cut a bit of slack. He had a very bad injury last season and it will take a bit of time to fully recover. I noticed he has started staying out on his wing in defence even when the attack was over the far side. We've defended well (allowing for occasional lapses) in the last few games so this seems to be working. The fact that our defensive system seems to be working well is also one reason for not making too many changes in the backs imo.
