Im happy to agree to disagree but its certainly not knee jerk or rose tinted specs!

Yes reward them when it's time.

You only have to look at Stevie Ward's physical disadvantage ATM to realise patience is a virtue.

Re: Team for Leigh : Fri May 30, 2014 11:32 pm  

Ward I a fair point but has been unlucky the likes of Bailey ,D.Ward even Sinfield to name just 3 came through unscathed and many more as well.
Saying that Leigh are still a div below and wont be as intense as the top8/10 in SL so the risk imo is a lot less.
I'm also not suggesting they should come in and play week in week out either.

Re: Team for Leigh : Sat May 31, 2014 2:52 am  

I would rest Peacock he should only play in the really important games. I would also give Sinfield a rest - if we can't beat the likes of Leigh with a slightly weakened side then it suggest the quality of the squad is not what it should be.

Go on, Rest some more pleeeaaaaasssseeee !!!!

Thing is Printer, you have no idea when it is time. You just go by whether they are picked or not. Yet you post as though you are authorative on it.

What is undeniable is that our success all came from somebody having the faith to back its young players and build with them.

Unless Hardaker has a knock I don't see much benefit in dropping him. In fact I'd make him captain for the game.

1. Jones-Bishop
2. Briscoe
3. Ablett
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Hardaker
7. Sutcliffe
8. Singleton
9. Ward, R
10. Kirke
11. Minchella
12. Clarkson
13. Ward, S

14. Achurch
15. Delaney
16. Bailey
17. Mulhern

Rest Sinfield, McGuire, Peacock, Leuluai & Watkins. Give Sutcliffe a full game opportunity in the halves, see how Hardaker does at SO & captain and it's an opportunity for the more senior forwards like Kirke & Bailey to prove they deserve to still be at Leeds, even against 2nd tier opposition.

I would give Handley a run out instead of Briscoe for this, and would rest Ablett therefore having Watkins in. But pretty much agree with everything else here.

What a total lack of disrespect for Leigh. They have been unbeaten this season and are an equivalent in my eyes to a team playing 8th or 9th in SL.
Some of these academy players you mention have not played C1 level never mind playing the level where Leigh are.
Nothing other than playing the best team will get Leeds a win. Fact.

Jesus, you post some over bulling of the championship, but that is just ridiculous. Leigh wouldn't come within 20 of a London, so hardly 8th or 9th.
