Regarding wakey rumours brough apparently not as bad as 1st thought so not out the yr and doubt they could afford Kelly as well

Hearing Fash is 18th man

Fonua is not injured but not playing
That is utter garbage
We must be paying him 20,000 pounds a month at least and he decided to be 3 weeks behind schedule for whatever reason
Beggars belief

He didn’t get here till late plus he was still recovering from his injury he sustained playing for West’s Tigers..Played for the reserves today and will look to playing on Friday..Plenty of options at the back so no worries at all

Whilst Albert would be my first choice at six, the silky skills, and superb hands of Jake is an option nearly the whole of Super league would want in their team.

It’s well documented last season, there’s not many who came out with credit, but with a new second row, and competition in the pack, we should have much more energy and consequently create more space for all of our halves to express themselves.

It’s far to early in his career with us, to write Jake of as a half back, time will tell I suppose, I’ve got my tickets for tomorrow, the dilemma is do I go watch Sonny Bill in the uncovered end at Headingley or sample some Tetleys before we kick off, come on yu ulla.

Flap flap flap

The space created by our new guys coupled with their ability to offload is exactly why we need Kelly at 6.
Kelly and Shaul should be the two players to really benefit and able to hit the gaps with their pace.
Connor is not a running half as he doesnt have the pace.
His skills are better used as a centre where he can use his ball handling skills and get on the end of Sneyds kicks to the corner

Yeeeeeeeha! Game day, Kelly at 6 all day for me. But we ain’t even played a game yet, so less of the moans and see how it goes. Watching Toronto in the boozer near the ground, might go watch last 20, see how the weather is and how the booze is going down. Coyh, can’t wait

A bit wet out but who cares.
Three shredded wheat then a train to catch.

Have a good un, hope your bet comes in.

I hope plenty are going down the train option, should be good trundling through Leeds centre towards headingly for 4.45 kick off

Not even a game has been played and you have started, Fash is a favorite, Connor not good enough at stand off and Lewis B not good enough.

Connor has proved in a few games in the last 3 years he can play at stand off, no halfback would have played well with our poor pack the 2nd half of the season, in fact Sneyd was as bad if not worst and got no where near the flack Connor did.

I'd personally rather have Kelly at 6 and Connor at centre, but Radford has chosen him there, so let's wait see how he gets on in this new side. You are too quick to write players off, which has been proven in the past.

Excited for today's game, not confident though.

Get the York/Knaresborough bound train from Leeds and get off at the first stop, Burley Park. A short walk to the stadium or the pubs around Otley Road.

I can only think (and hope) that because of the weather and the pitch we are going to adopt a very simple safety first game plan today. So he has favoured Connor because he is a better game manager than Kelly, and Kelly isn't on the bench because Radford wants 4 big guys on the bench. When conditions improve we will see Connor and Kelly both involved.

If that is the case then whilst I still don't really agree with it I can at least see the logic.

Kelly was poorly early in the week according to UTC. If he's missed a bit of training then it makes sense not to risk him, especially when Radders has so many fit, quality players to pick from.
