TBH I'm not overly concerned how we line up at the moment, we have a squad of players that is more than capable of performing against anyone. The attitude is spot on and they appear to believe in themselves. So if it's Naughton or Micheals I'm confident that either will do the job asked of them.

Taylor was interviewed after the game and sounds like leading from the start is a bit of a badge of honour for him - prefers it to being on the bench. Made some fantastic carries against Wakey.

Fair points, he is our best prop.

My thinking was - imagine if I was a Catalan player and I'd been battling that starting pack for 20 minutes, then you look up and you've suddenly got a fresh Taylor, Pritchard & Thompson running at you.

I'm not particularly bothered either way, same with Naughton & Michaels - it's great that we have such depth in the squad.

Fact,, Washbrook was poor the last two games, fact, Washbrook misses too many tackles (currently 10% which is kept so low with his third man in efforts).Fact, his passing quite good, opinion,, we have better options in the positions Washbrook has played, fact, LR keeps picking him despite several very average games and some very poor ones.
I think only Warrington was he very good, so despite being rubbish at both Leeds and Wakey if he gets picked again for the Cats match despite Hadley/Green and Thompson all being fit and we need people whom can make hard yards and tackle effectively in the 17 then yeah, I think that cements the LR picking on form as he's done with other players doesn't apply to Washbrook.
Leeds was an ideal chance to pick our reserve/junior no.6, (as LEEDS had been doing and he was outstanding and got MOM) but no, LR picked DW. A player we know and LR knows can't play that role for and it showed with everyone saying Sneyd was overloaded and with no help in the halves.
Justified criticism of LR imho.

Did you go to Wakefield?

We will win tomorrow and at St Helens in the CC next weekend.

im trying to get the night off work to go tomorrow night.. i seen something about £5 tickets, any help on this ? will pay the full price but just checking

Members could buy up to two extra tickets for friends/family/stragglers for £5 each. Think the offer finished though.

Still think it's cheaper to buy online and print off at home rather than go to one if the ticket kiosks and 'pay on the gate' though.

How have Leeds results been going on the whole with junior no.6?surely thats more of an indication.

Please pardon the pun, but you do see things only in the extremes of black and white.

These are not facts at all, they are your opinions. Very clouded opinions at that, which you choose to have a negative / Anti Radford slant on.

If you consider Washbrook has only has one good game this season, then you are not watching the games. If you really believe Washbrook as been "very poor" in some games, then you either have a personal dislike of him as a player or you are not watching the games.

Either way, its all just your opinion and not facts.

Leeds played Lilley in the halves basically because they had nobody else. Are you really advocating playing a junior or reserve player at a ground we had not won at in 9 years in torrential conditions when there are experienced first team players available? And you question Radfords coaching ability!

I appreciate this doesn't fit in with your anti Radford agenda. But you really need to open your eyes, appreciate the effort being put in and significant improvement in playing style and stop being so monotonously boring with this negative stance you have. Your lack of objectivity is overwhelming.

I've got a ticket up for grabs (FOC) if anyone wants it? East stand E7 row Z, seat 202. PM me. ~Cheers

Minichiello out with a calf injury.

hadley come in, more than capable replacement, sound in defence, runs some good lines and gives less penalties away too

Would be a shame if Mini doesn't make it, thought he was great against Wakey despite a few defensive errors. Like you said though, Hadley can come in and be a good replacement. Our squad depth this year, especially in the forwards, is superb, and probably the main reason for our league position.

He won't make it, last year I would have been worried but this year we still have Maun and Pritchard. Also the fringe players benefitted from gametime last year and can now can step in.

Thanks to investment from Pearson and the youth we now have a squad as good as any other SL team IMO.

Apart from Washy (according to the senior member of the anti-Radford society).

back in our favour??

Another massive blow for Catalans Dragons. Dave Taylor ruled out of tomorrow night's clash due to a calf injury. #hullfc #rugbyleague

Taylor out for them with the same injury!

Its an often coined phrase in RL, but his has to be the biggest, good player I have seen play. Apart from his shear size, he has nimble hands and a kicking game. Definite bonus he is out

This time last week I'd of said this wsz 50-50. With them having Inu, Carney & Taylor out. Each probably strong contenders for Man of Steel, I'd be disapointed if we didn't get the win Tomorrow now.
