and thats another reason why I'd stick Royston at FB and leave Ah Van and Platt out wide.

Personally I wouldn't use Platt on the wing unless we absolutely have to. If Ah Van and Walker or Platt are centres they can come and help one of Raynor or Ainscough out. I know Platt should be given a chance to prove himself there, but the 1 time i've seen him on the wing he didn't look comfortable there.

We had a chance of beating Leeds before Herbert pulled out, now we don't. Simple as that for me. Now you might call that pessimism but please...its pie in the sky to think fudged halfbacks will be enough to turn Leeds over.

And if I'm wrong I'll join Bullbuilder. I would be delighted if that were the case.

Well, according to someone on our board Huaraki is playing. Good news for us I suppose.

Has he played in the friendlies?

Nope, visa issues. Could be a very difficult match to get into the swing of things with, could backfire playing him. We'll just have to wait and see I suppose.

Rubbish, we had a chance of beating Leeds with Herbert and still do without him.
It may be we lose, but the loss of Herbert doesn't mean that were now bound for it.

One man doesnt make a team and it's gonna be a team effort 2 pick up 2 points on Sunday.

TEAM!
COYB!

When I said platt out wide i meant as a centre. While I think he could go well at wing I wouldn't try it against Leeds.

Why are people considering Ah Van for standoff, i've watched him for years and can't remember ever seeing him play there.

Yes I know I've had a few done me tonightdd but please follow you're heart on this.

COME ON YOU BULLS . . . . . . . . . . . .

I want to hear this reverberating aroun dthe Millenium Stadium on Sunday

Ah Okay, my bad. I agree with that then. Platt will be a great help to Raynor or Ainscough - having spent most of his career at full-back (and now he's got a bit of confidence) he's solid under the high ball and has taken some great ones in the friendlies.

Whilst it is a blow, i'm sure they've tried a number of combinations in training and I have confidence we'll at least give the Rhinos a good game. COYB.

take it you missed fax and wakey friendlies then as he did stints at standoff in both those and looked handy there. Certainly wouldnt consider him as 1st or 2nd choice SO but he can a job there if necessary.

Apparently the Leeds squad announced was wrong, due to a clerical error at the RFL.

Ryan Bailey is not in the squad, but Ben Jones-Bishop is.
