Playing Whiting as an extra back rower yesterday was clearly a tactic that worked very effectively and a good play from PG. It dawned on me yesterday that we only used 3 of our 4 subs, with Ellis not getting on the pitch, so clearly playing big minute forwards is in PG's plans.
With Ellis coming in, another player who has a good engine, are we preparing for a possible reduction to 8 subs? I know that it has been talked about and could be a situation which plays into our hands.

Not sure. With no Horne and no cover at hooker, Ellis was an obvious bench choice IMO. |

| I thought this was going to be about Stevo saying something along the lines of how 'Gentle wont be Gentle tonight, tonight he will be rough'  |

Could have been Bowden/Kent? I know we have an extra weekend to recover from now, but could have given them more game time/others a rest?
Not complaining! If anything I'm praising them more by beating Whinos by only using 3 subs! I guess Ellis was there incase Seymour, or anyone else, took a knock. |

He'd just have switched Whiting around a bit to accommodate.
The more I see of Richard Whiting, the more he's like "My Brother Sylvest" (just google the lyrics) |

Someone mentioned to me how Gentle was basically Tim Sheens cone boy on Saturday! I had a little s come full time.
He simply had his tactics perfect and we simply outplayed Leeds.

Has he got an arm like a leg and a punch that will sink a battleship? |

He still got 8/10 in the Hull Daily Mail Player ratings though! |
