Would guess it'll be Walters and Golding who miss out for us providing none of the other 17 are injured

Walker
Briscoe
Watkins
Sutcliffe
Hall
Moon
Myler
Cuthbertson
Parcell
Singleton
Ward
Ablett
JJB/Delaney

Dwyer
Ormomdroyd
Keinhorst
Delaney/JJB

Was already going to be tough but the lack of props looks a killer.

I would play Keinhorst at centre and Sutcliffe on the bench as cover for forwards and backs.

Yep, think we will get over run in the forwards over the 80 minutes. I just hope we can put on a good show and keep it close and respectable.

Where's Jordan Lilley? Surely he'd have been a better bet than Walters in the squad if Moon has been carrying a knock?

Re: WCC18 | Melbourne Storm v Leeds Rhinos : Wed Feb 14, 2018 12:32 pm  

He did suffer an injury pre season but if fit I would have thought he warranted a seat on the plane at the expense of Walters.
I think we might see Lilley pushed out of Leeds this year unfortunately.

Are there any cons?

Ensuring the defensive line is back makes for a better game IMHO. Not the end of the world.

They have also clamped down on a proper PtB in the NRL for this season - so that will work in our favour.

Swings and roundabouts.

two referees is one Australian innovation that i like, but they agreed international rules and have now moved the goal posts at short notice, this will obviously favor Melbourne and there already wrestling spoiling techniques.

doesn't it always happen ? why do we always allow them to dictate to us . Remember that game at ER and they told Siverwood how to ref the game and being him he was only too pleased to comply

Whilst people aren't keen on Walters is does make sense to take an extra forward if any of them get injured during the week. If Lilley was to go it should've been in place of Golding. A FB & HB shouldn't be the two backups you take.
