also if zak hardaker learns to pass he will be a very good fullback'"
Don't be daft our pack gets dominated week in week out having a world class 6 wouldn't make a difference behind these softcock forwards. |

Ryan Atkins for Kallum Watkins is the only change in personel i'd make in that team, Watkins as good as he is has in attack has been a turnstile in defence for Leeds this season, Also i'd keep the Jack Reed & Ryan Atkins partnership together. |

it would, plenty of times leeds had a chance to attack but sinfield jus ran side ways and threw a flat/forward pass or just passed it back inside. he just isn't a 6 and shouldn't be played there. |

| Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook must be close to selection for at least the knights! Having a great season!
Imagine if he was a Wigan player...there'd be countless threads moaning about the fact he hadn't been included  |

I think you'll find there are a number of posts by Wigan fans saying LMS should have been selected.

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

He's won enough Grand Finals playing at 6 and doesn't need to prove anything to a know-nothing Wigan fan: Sinfield is plenty good enough a 6 for Leeds - when he gets his form back at least. If England played in Leeds' way and with Leeds' structure then it would make sense to play him, if on form, there. But for this game and in this form - no way. |

i obviously know a lot more than you if you think he is a good 6! how many grand finals has he actually playing at 6? and i wouldn't say he is the main reason for leeds success just a decent player in a very good team. he is a terrible 6 slow, passing not up to it, decision making poor, creativity well there is none and shoddy defending.

Hes a good clubman no doubting that. Just never international standard. No shame in that. Doubt it will worry him in 20 years time when he looks back at his medals.

I'd have a similar team to this but a few changes.
1. I'd play Briscoe over Charnley. Both very good but I think that Briscoe is slightly better at the moment. Briscoe has done really well in an average/poor side over the past couple of years, whereas Charnley has been in a very strong team to help him out. Also, Briscoe didn't do anything wrong the last time he played for England.
2. I'd swap out Watkins for Atkins. Watkins, whilst talented, has constantly been injured and Atkins has been playing very well and deserves to play.
3. I wouldn't have in Luke Burgess. Playing in the NRL doesn't mean that you're better than others, and I think that there have been better players than him this year. Patrick, Crabtree, etc, would all be ahead of him in my opinion.
So
Tomkins
Hall
Reed
Atkins
Briscoe
Widdop
Brough
Graham
Roby
Burgess
Hock
Ellis
O'Loughlin
McIllorum
Crabtree
Mossop
Westwood |

Can't argue much with that squad, looks a pretty good side too. I'd only possibly put Robinson in instead of McIllorum to offer some impact from the bench. |
