You really think the Knights would beat the main squad?

I'm sick of reading how good Ablett has been for Leeds this year. They've got a 50% win rate in SL and have looked downright awful at times. How they have got 6 players in this team I'll never know. McBanana has split up a young, in-form wing/centre partnership to play a 2nd rower there. The man's a joke and we will not win anything while he's in charge.

Ablett is forming a great partnership with Charnley apparently

"I have been very pleased with the partnership he is forging with Carl Ablett and they are looking a formidable pairing on the right."

so a week of training against no opposition is a better way to forge a partnership than 18 weeks of game time and training together (not that I think Goulding is necessarily international standard, he is a damnsight better than Ablett).

Let's not forget that the 6 players in question have achieved more in their careers than the remaining 15 of the squad put together.

Ricky Bibey has as many medals as Lee Mossop, bring him into the side.

Carl Ablett, a 2nd rower, is one of the top 2 centres in England? Unreal....

Some great suggestions guys, though I don't think Ricky Bibey is international class.

And neither is Jamie Peacock; anymore.
Im one for giving a young coach like McNamara a chance but that team is a complete joke unless he's planning giving the whoolle squad a run over two games

If we lose the series he MUST go.

I wouldn't have Ablett or Sinfield in there. Apart from that it seems a reasonable squad given the players he had available. You have to remember that this squad is missing about 8 or 9 players who are either injured or not available.

RL fans in this country are a major reason the game will never reach its potential. The same fans who are now calling for McNarmara's head are the same ones who wanted Tony Smith gone, I wonder who most fans would rather have in charge now?

All this talk of medals reminds me of something. How many medals did McNamara win as a coach at Bradford = 0.
