Marshall did next to nothing wrong last week, despite not getting his usual scoring opportunities. NK is surely right that he can hurt Hall too with his pace given the space, and I'm sure Leeds will be well aware of that. I'm not convinced that Sarge on the wing would be a better bet, even defensively.

Good test for Marshall. If he's going to be in contention for Wigan he needs to be an all-rounder. This a chance to prove himself defensively (he's passed the test in attack) against some quality opposition. See how he is in D, under the highball and positional play defensively.

Hopefully for him, and for us, he passes the test. If not, we have 3 other wingers chopping at the bit for 2 wing spots.

Anyone would think any of our previous wingers going back to when Hall first came on the scene have not coceded against him. The fact is hes consistantly scored against us and even the best defenders at international level for a decade or so. I Marshalls overall game has improved and playing, making the mistake and learning from it, going away and working on those weaker areas is the way.
The thing he has got is pace and that try poaching ability that cant be taught. We are in a great position of having three very good young lads playing for two spots.

Sarginson on the bench with Bateman at centre.

Quite a switcheroo tonight it looks like. Sarginson will probably replace Leuluai and play at centre, Bateman to second row, O'Loughlin to scrum half, Powell to hooker.

Sarge to full back?

Isa loves a cheap, dumb penalty doesn’t he. Typical modern day SL squad player - crap.

Absolutely no spark in this team . Leeds aren’t much better to be honest .

Why are we so stupid? We’ve kicked to Hall’s side about 5 times. He’s about a foot taller than Marshall

Dull as dishwater so far

Awful game but I think we looked the stronger team in the last 15 minutes, carry that on and we could nick this.

Beltin. Another 40 minutes to paper over the cracks!

On Good Friday we kicked to Makinson all afternoon instead of kicking to Grace . I really can’t work out if we have any sort of game plan apart from once we’re well behind we play attacking off the cuff RL.
