I think he is entitled to ask.

Pitts at least looked like he was trying pre-season.
Westerman has looked poor but is in the squad.

I'm happy to call this a conspiracy !

I'm not going to read anything into Pitts exclusion for now. This is only the squad for our first competitive game of the season. Someone was always going to miss out.

That doesn't surprise me.

rlIs this the Jay Pitts you're referring to?rl

It looks like Radford doesnt think much about Miller.Be interesting to see if he gets a chance when Horne gets his inevitable injury or will we see Heremaia as a make do and mend half back again.

Agree wth your starters and bench. Happy that Horne starts he has to stay in good form to keep Miller out, hope the rumours about Miller potentially being moved on are unfounded and it's just a case of Radders not wanting to start the season with two rookies in the halves. If Miller features in Radfords plans (and being named in the 19 suggests that he does) then I expect him to make his first start against Bradford in round 4 (barring injuries / poor form from Rankin / Horne)

Willing to give Thompson a chance before knocking him, but I too would have preferred Pitts, so don't understand why he is not in the 19 if not injured, and having had pre-season praise from Radders. Bradford have just taken a 2nd row / prop from Wire on a month loan. so maybe a permanent move to the Bulls could be on the cards?

I would put Arundel on bench instead of Thompson, if he's not starting, he offers better cover in the backs and think he's big enough to play S R

big enough but doesn't run hard enough.

If the wind gets any worse the game will be called off me thinks

I'd have Miller in with Rich on the bench instead of Thompson thus giving more cover including for Miller if things are not working. Rich Horne is a perfect utility and it would be a way of keeping his minutes down and keeping him injury free.

Agree with all of that.

Looking at that potential lineup i dont fancy our chances at all. Cats pack and bench is huge.

Just got 6/1 on sky bet for cat HT, FC FT..we will win!! hope we can make it a good atmosphere hate it been on sky against catalans, they fetch no fans & some home fans think it will be dull, & watch it on sky, think the attendance will be just short of 11k, #COYH.

Get ready for a sockfest from our our world famous neighbours

Let them say what they want i wonder if hudgey would be giving even more tickets away if there opener would have been catalans on sky? he knows leeds travel well hence the lets break the attendance record.

Who cares about Rovers, this is a thread about outer squad, some people moan about rovers been obsessed but are just as bad.

Back on topic, we have to get our attics right and keep it tight until half time, like the cup game and play off they will tire and they aren't the fitness team and we can then exploit their big forwards.

Discipline and patience are the keys to winning this game.

With Carvell I'm am confident our forwards can match there's.

So you think 3,700 walk up's? a crap weather forecast, to go with on TV, no away fans, Valantines Day, hope I'm wrong but I think will be around 9,000 - 9,500
