Picking the threads of what Sanders has been saying at the various forums I have attended, he favours 3 props on the field of play at all times (I assume he means 8, 10 & 13) and plans to have two nines in the squad.
Looking at the interchanges this suggests at least one prop doing big minutes out of a selection of O'Hara/Clinton/Paea/Taylor/Lovegrove (my first choices).
The remaining bench place will be a combo of Galea/Mika/Cox (again my choices).
My selection for the Leeds opener is:
O'Donnell
Hall, Welham, Webster, D Hodgson
Green, Dobson
Clinton, Withers, Taylor
Cox, Galea
Lovegrove
Bench: O'Hara, Paea, J Hodgson & Mika

I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell:30566.jpg |

I would maybe play Taylor in the L/F role if Sandercock is favouring 3 props, he is not as big as the other guys and is probably more mobile. Having Galea in the pack will give us the extra ball handler if needed. Plus hopefully Watts will show more of his end of season form to push for a a starting spot.
Liking the idea of starting Cox in the S/R!

Not that I know of.
For me its a toss of the coin between Lovergrove & Watts for that 13 shirt (the extra prop). |

I cant understand why Lovegrove is even mentioned in the same breath as Watts.
I hope he plays Lovegrove tbh.

Depends on what style he opts for, if you want a ball handler to create openings, then he has to go with Watts IMO, Lovegrove is not in the same mould. |

So Mr S doesn't rate Dobson, let's hope he doesn't give him the captaincy then

I'd go for that, Watts at 13 gives us the physicality against bigger packs that we lack with Murrell and would be more creative than playing Lovegrove at 13. |

Indeed. Larry's on the money as usual, it seems.  |

[quote="Adeybull"] so the panel took the same view as your excellent assessment.[/quote]:44595.jpg |
|
|
So squad numbers 1-17 is what most people are expecting with the exception of Netherton(16) replaced by paea(23). And Carlile(25) maybe surprise inclusion for hodgson(9)???
(I'm sure I'm missing someone out)

Lovegrove has never been " Top metre maker at the club" in any season he has been here...he was top forward in 2010 but was down the list last year having dropped nearly 1400 metres... |

I meant in the forwards as the comparision was between Lovegrove and Watts
Lovegrove made 3029 metres in 2010 for Rovers bettered only by Peter Fox IIRC who made 3100.
As Fox's metres will of included a few length of field runs that was no mean feat by Lovegrove. |
