Far too early to suggest that, yes Warrington played well and were very dominant as they got on the front in the first minute but Leeds were poor with no cohesion at all, infact they looked very similar to when they were coached by Agar.

Was interesting to hear that Wire had been after Clifford.

Agreed I thought their pack was huge and that's without McGuire for the next couple of months. Vaughan looked good but then Leeds didn't have any answer to anything Wire did and were well deserved winners. However the question is can they keep that intensity up throughout the season and remain injury & suspension free.

Clifford all been well will be better than drinkwater

Williams is their big pivot

So Smith has now named his first squad for the opener Savelio and Sao named but no Carlos

1. Tex Hoy
2. Adam Swift
4. Liam Sutcliffe
5. Darnell McIntosh
7. Jake Clifford
8. Ligi Sao
9. Danny Houghton
10. Chris Satae
11. Andre Savelio
12. Jordan Lane
13. Brad Fash
14. Joe Lovodua
15. Joe Cator
16. Kane Evans
17. Cameron Scott,
19. Ben McNamara
20. Jack Brown
23. Josh Griffin
25. Davy Litten
30. Scott Taylor
33. Brad Dwyer.

Certainly some selection headaches for Smith and some players that are going to be disappointed but its a long season so will get the opportunity.

Great news on the ticket front too with the club now expecting a 14K plus crowd, just hope they team can go out play some decent rugby now.

Hearing through the grapevine that Leeds will be Carlos's first game back.

Really, really hard to pick the 17, I'd say Litten us the only one, who definitely won't make the 17.

Backs are easy to pick (hopefully doesn't go with Griffin at centre) Pack and bench I go with

Taylor
Dywer
Satae
Griffin
Lane
Fash

Sao (Evans if out)
Brown
Lovodua
Savelio (Houghton if out)

Yep and its such a difference to see a squad that isn't so easy to pick and also the number of different permutations of the possible 17

Can't wait for Sunday.

Having 2 hookers on the bench is a waste of a sub

Cator on the bench
