Quote: El Rey "It'll be a battle and i don't go with the upper hand for one minute but please spare me Ablett, he'll pick and choose who he runs at, the smaller the better.
I look forward to seeing the leeds youngster and they'll let no one down.'"
Ablett is vastly under rated, keep an eye on him tonight and you'll see exactly what he offers, often carrying people on his back with a great leg drive and knows how to hit the holes too. He's an England international for a reason.
Quote: El Rey "
Our Prop, 2nd Row and LF options are as follows
Poore
Amor
Lauitiiti
Kirmond
Washbrook
Raleigh
Wilkes
Mariano
Annakin
If I was putting a pack together from our 2 combined teams then I would give you Peacock and Leuluai getting in along with Poore and Amor as the 4 props. No way Delaney or Ablett would oust Kirmond so would either be a better option than Lauitiiti? Not IMO which leaves both of them fighting for the 3rd bench spot (assuming 4th would go to a non-forward option) with Annakin, Mariano, Raleigh and Wilkes. I can't personally decide who would be the best option but to assume that all 4 of those you named would WALK into our squad is a little bit disrespectful.'"
You've got a good pack don't get me wrong but I do honestly think Richard Agar would bite Brian Mcdermotts hand off if he offered him those 4 players. Ablett is genuinely under rated outside the Leeds bubble so I can see why you'd dismiss him, but for you to dismiss Delaney aswell is absolutely astonishing!! The first few rounds of SL he was the form back rower in SL by a country mile, he was coming out with ridiculous stats and was linked with a return back to the NRL. I can only assume you didnt catch much of Leeds prior to Delaneys injury?
If you absolutely steam roll our pack tonight then I will be the first on here congratulating you, and be looking forward to next week
