Walker is going to play fullback in front of jowit in my opinion (time will tell) and no matter what you think about Battye he is nearly 30 years old and has hardly played any top flight rugby,there is a reason for that and also why he hasn't been given the number 8 or 10 shirt'"
Alex walker will not start ahead of max or even hampshire unless there is a half back injury issues he is clearly 3rd choice full back.the aquad numbers where issued before eddie arrived and i would say eddie will start more than not fit but its just as important for you sub props to be as good as your starting.as for his age and experience did you not see how well he played for london when in sl and how well he played for us last season and as for his age for a prop hes around the prime age for most props

Yes I did see how he played for London in super league and he was "average" in a very poor London side that got relegated.
I also saw how he played for us last year and as stated before he is 100% but again was average in what can only be described as a poor team/season again
Thats me out on this matter now as you know my opinions.

Battye's age has lots to do with it,why do you think he is nearly 30 and nobody has previously come in for him to play top flight rugby ?
Whilst he is a hard worker he is never going to change or win you a game,championship quality at best but I hope he proves me wrong (as well as all the other coachs who didn't come in for him previous)
Enjoy your week'"
Nice Sidestep, and yes I will enjoy my week, considerably more than you will I'm sure, and thanks for explaining your thoughts' on the matter in great detail

So you are saying that it wasn't a very weak/second string Leeds team
As stated previous if we had
Jowit,Johnstone,Tupou,Lyne and Miller all missing you wouldn't call it a weak side or a 2nd string ?

| I thought we played okay and was quite optimistic following it. I wasn't surprised by the result though because we rarely seemed to be in the Leeds half. Our efforts were mainly long range, which shows the other side is dominating the game. Our left edge is very dangerous but other teams will quickly train to snuff that out.
The new strip rule disappointed me, because clearly Leeds had been training to utilise it and we looked like we'd never heard of it.
On the whole, the game could have gone either way and I thought it was a fairly decent performance, but Leeds were the dominant team and deserved to win it.
As for the players, I think we'll go better with either Jowitt or Rocky at full back. Walker was fine but perhaps still a bit green and nervous and looks physically lightweight. Lino? Too early to tell. He has spent a long time as an understudy so was bound to be cautious. Once he gets used to being the focus, we should see the best of him. If we don't, he'll be an understudy to Rocky and that's just how it is.
As for the penalties, tired teams give away penalties. It was a sign of Leeds dominance and a natural consequence.
My main worry about this year is that I think there may be some levelling out of the teams. Salford may be poor in the end, bit of a Dads Army, but Hull KR may go better and Huddersfield should get better. I can see us scrapping it out for tenth. But new ground, new start, etc.
