Whino's missing some big names though ..... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/35874471

I'm not sure I'd play Jowett today. He was great on Friday but this turnaround is tough enough for seasoned pros and might be too big an ask for Max today. In my mind we would be better giving him time to reflect on his performance and prepare for Saturday, yet another short turnaround and a potential killer for the players.

Get your point but I tend to go with the alternative view.

I think he is young and easily capable of the two game. Added to this he's really up now and probably hasn't come down from Friday. With this in mind I'd let him carry on, his slump will inevitably come as it does with young players but I'd be surprised and worried if it were spent after one game - let him run with it I say. Even a half d performance will still be better than his predecessors.

The more I think about it I'd go with a back line of

Jowitt
BJB
Lyne
Hall
Johnstone

Some genuine pace there, nobody expects us to win so let's go and take them on.

BJB would be wasted outside Lyne who can't pass and is doing well on the wing. Put BJB on the bench for impact and leave Arundel in after Friday.

Agreed. Lyne is a winger who can cover at centre. He's not a centre and certainly don't put a strike player outside him.

I don't think any club would put a full back/ winger on the bench and I don't think we should either.
He should either start or wait his turn and with another game in just a few days, he is sure to be playing soon.

With the size of Leeds' pack, we need forwards on there (including an interchange hooker)

He's gone with Hall at fullback, Arundal & Lyne at centre and BJB and TJ on the wings.

Although I don't like Lyne at centre he is strong and will be able to defend.
I like Chester's team selections so far.
Molloy 13 is good.

Although I like Arona I like that he hasn't been parachuted in after others did well.

I think Chester is wise, he is using games he feels are maybe just beyond our reach at present and giving fair rotation to get a look at players in certain positions with not having pre season to access . He looks to be targeting games to ensure he gets his best on the grass hence starting with England Friday and resting him today rather than other way round, and leaving jowitt out but if they are both fit I expect to see them back in for Salford on Saturday.

I wonder if they will line up as named or if Arundel and Johnstone are switched onto the left hand side?

0-6 to Trinity Ashurst

6-6

Referees killing us, Leeds offside at almost every play the ball but not even a hint of us getting penalty while Leeds enjoying the benefit of a few offside penalties.

Try on big screen shows Sutcliffe knocked on, not seen by any of the 3 officials who were near by.
