I presume this app had to have permission from Sky to broadcast games and maybe Sky insisted only season ticket holders?

Sounds about right unfortunately.

Yeh the season ticket thing on the app is crazy.
They’d make far more money with pay per view games.

Fair enough! I know they rate him at the club, but I would be hugely surprised if he was at Leeds long term. Classic too small for BR and too slow for centre. Loads of heart, but not got the natural physique. Hope I've wrong, but I don't think I will be.

Also, he's not actually that young at 22. If he was 19, I'd probably give him the benefit of the doubt.

Not so sure about that.
How does his size and weight compare with the likes of Bentley and Bateman who don`t look that big to me but are 2 of the best we have in the BR?
On the team front I would keep Broadbent at FB, Handley on the wing and Myler in the halves albeit reluctantly.
I would play Luke instead of Tom on the other wing

3 games in and already a familiar look to the table.
Top 2, bottom 4 and middle 6.
Big game this if we really want to compete in that middle 6.

Got to say that although he frustrates me, last week tom played well and gets in ahead of luke

I'd imagine the Walters contract news falls on the match day as he will be playing.

It's not time to get carried away with Alex Sutcliffe just yet. He's way down the pecking order at centre when everyone is fit, and his namesake Liam offers more (at least attacking) in this position. In the back-row there is an even longer list of candidates in front of him, although he could be well-suited to coming off the subs bench with his versatility. While A. Sutcliffe hits hard for his size, I'd still pick Mellor over him for the latter's physicality, although Mellor needs to do more to cement his position as well.

Fair assessment, agree. A Sutcliffe wont let anyone down but looks a good squad filler only, but we need good squad filkers just l as much as first choice stats as its rare that everyone is fit.

This. I am not bagging him btw, been a bit underwhelmed by him if im brutally honest.

I suppose not playing in anything like our first rate line up is the obvious answer but he just frustrates the heck out of me sometimes.
