| Does he start? For me as a one-off would be ideal to bring off the bench as an impact sub,after 25 mins or so,get him down the middle and getting him charging at the tired Leigh forwards,His pace and power would be destructive against the slower forwards.A different option to out in the centre and maybe the gameturner.

| Have him on from the start, opposite the slightly overweight Nanyn and pepper grubbers to him for the first quarter so he always has Menzie in his face, takes a few big hits and is playing the ball from inside his own 20 where he can't do much damage.
On attack make sure Menzie and his winger get out quickly and push him into the middle for the forwards to take the stuffing out of him too.
If we shut him down, and keep Ellis quiet, then it's game on. Fev showed that last week and Leigh seemed short of ideas, no reason why we can't win this one!

| I reckon bring him off the bench, he was awesome when he came off the bench against York and helped himself to a hat-trick, I know Leigh will be much stiffer opposition but, if we can stay in the game with Menzie on the bench, he might be the impact sub we need to get over the line.

Nanyn and Yere are normally on opposite sides to each other. Hopefully Higson will play opposite Yere again for Leigh and put him right back into his pocket where he ended up last time

Except those 'tiring forwards' will have been rotated no more than 5 minutes prior to Menzie coming on. He's a real enigma on his day and a class act, but as Nozzy said Higson had him in his pocket last time, and he's generally not a player in our first choice 17.

Hence why I said to put Menzie against Nanyn this time out, Leigh have been exposed down Nanyn's channel a few times and a few hits from 'The Jukebox' might be just what Nanyn needs to be thrown off his game

| When will Menzie potentially face the disciplinary for the "on-report" tackle?
Although he didn't make many breaks last night he made a lot of metres and was instrumental in pulling defenders away from Q for his try and for setting up Finnigan.
I assume Higson is OK - it lokoed really nasty, although it was obviously accidental.

| I asked Tubbs after the game and he said that the disciplinary will be in time to ban him if he's found guilty, which, let's face it, he will be.

Broken jaw apparently, though obviously the focus will be on Yere's tackle on Donlan, which I feel might have been dealt with there and then rather than being put on report had we not made a break from the offload and therefore the officials were following play.

I agree, we got lucky there, could've been a red depending on how it was interpreted. It doesn't look good on the tv.

Not seen the replay to be honest (can you blame me?! ) but my first instinct was that he began to turn Donlan once the ball had already been released - the disciplinary initially need to work out whether Yere was aware that Donlan was no longer the ball carrier and then consider whether it was a dangerous action. Makes a change for them to review it so quickly for our league anyway!

Only because it's such a big game next week. To be honest the system in the regular season is a joke, someone could potentially commit an offence one game, score a hat-trick the next then be banned for six weeks. It's daft.

Completely agree. I know in previous years it was blamed on the logistics of getting the footage from each club, but I'm sure that isn't an issue in this day and age (especially for Sky games) and should really be addressed rather than the Championships being treated as an afterthought.

Shouldn't be. It's in the week ended 25th September so should be heard on 4th October.
