Quote: Offside Monkey "It might not work. It may turn out that he doesn't offer enough threat with ball in hand, but the simple fact is that imo he's the biggest single factor in Leeds having beaten my club in 4 of the last 5 GFs.
It may not be seen to work because we get beaten in the forwards, in which case people will blindly suggest it was a flawed idea.'"
Think you might be on to something there. Most of the Leeds fans I work with consider Sinfield to be by far the most important player at their club and the majority of big games I've seen would back that up.
As a Cas fan, as much as I rate Rangi Chase I agree he is not an organiser type half back, instead he offers that X factor that can break a game wide open.
Reckon a half back pairing of Sinfield and Chase might be ideal, or start Mossop and bring Chase off the bench to cause havoc after the opposition has started to slow down a bit.
The key thing is that McNamara tries these combinations out in the warm up game(s). Unfortunately though I'm not sure that he will....
