who's the coach?!

Looking down the list, I think it's Mandy's turn.

I think we can win this. I really do. We have to beat them at Headingley some time. Why not now?

If Chase is fit, who do you drop out? Leeds' defence wont open up quite as easy as KR's did in the second half on Sunday, therefore you've got to go with Rangi in the halves. Dobson was magnificent on Sunday too, even in the first half. He therefore starts for me as well.

That leaves Fages, Tomkins and Hood for the hooking positions with one to miss out. I just couldn't for the life of me warrant leaving Theo out, even if it meant playing him at hooker. Hood was fantastic when he came on Sunday which would mean no place for Tomkins? Harsh call whoever gets the chop, but a nice problem to have given our injury/suspension crisis this season.

I would also bring Hansen in for J.Walne.

You have to keep Theo in, cover if Chase/Dobson gets crocked. Hood you'd think would raise his game against Leeds.

Unlucky but Tomkins misses out for me.

anyone know if chase and Hansen will be playing tomorrow?

Theo at hooker and tomkins misses out for me also, too many players in that 13 in great form. I think we could nick this but its going to take an almighty defensive effort, the shorter turn around time might be an problem

I'd go with:

1 - Evalds
2 - BJB
3 - J.Griffin
4 - Sa'u
5 - MCB
6 - Chase
7 - Dobson
8 - Morley
9 - Fages
10 - Taylor
11 - Hansen
12 - Hauraki
13 - Paterson
-------------------
14 - Hood
15 - Krasniqi
15 - D.Griffin
16 - G.Griffin

Tomkins and Walne to miss out.

It'll be an arm wrestle so Tomkins must play.
Theo has lots of qualities but his defence isn't one of them,particularly in the pack.
I don't think Chase will play so my bet is that the decision won't need to be made

With our brilliant record against Leeds in the super league it should be an easy game.

We will be doing a lot of defending i would imagine, so we need a tackling machine in there at hooker and despite his obvious limitations Tomkins gives us this. Hood and Theo don't give us as much protection.

Personally this time around i'd look at keeping the same side, as despite the temptation to play Rangi, would it really be fair to drop any of the players he could replace following our last 2 results?
