I Would like to see Watkins have another shot!

For me I'd have Bailey in, Diskin taking a rest this week. THink we may need to tough it out this week, so an extra forward is needed, and Buderus should be able to do close to the full match.

That's probably how I'd go as well.

No excuses this week.

Every one of the top 18 players at the club available + Kallum Watkins.

You come across as willing them to lose tvoc just to reinforce your discontent!

He is, its a desperate strategy that most of us who have been around long enough to remember Leeds having a good team before SL have adopted every now and again. It's generally brought on by underachievement and a desire to see us fulfil our potential as a club (something rarely seen).

"Paper" and "cracks" are two words that immediately spring to mind when you think of Leeds over the last 25 years. Others would be "Flatter", "to" and "deceive".

Pot half empty? You bet it is.

Well that would be the wrong impression.

My discontent with the squad strengthening this season has long been on the record here. It's borne purely out of a desire to see Leeds be the best that they can be at all times and an unflinching need to see them succeed.

I forgot to add that not only is this the best Leeds have available but they are also rested and trained within an inch of perfection (for this stage of the season) over the past 11 days by game day.

No excuses, not even the referee should be neccessary this week.

Indeed, be good to see the lads really 'click' now and start firing on all cylinders as we build up to a real peak through the second half of the season. Bearing in mind St Helens put 60+ past them a few weeks back, we should be looking for a big winning margin.

In reality of course we will do the typical Leeds thing and either scramble a scrappy win (by sheer luck) or lose to a marginal refs call as Cas celebrate like they just won their cup final (which for them this match really is).

Agree, would really like to see Buderus play the full match

Webb
Donald
Smith
Senior
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Leuluai
Buderus
Peacock
JJB
Kirke
Sinfield (C)

Ablett
Lauitiiti
Burgess
Bailey

maybe switch Kirke & Ablett around but that is my 1st choice team as long as Danny M is fit to play from the start.
