If anybody needs to drop to the bench it's lane. He's still flapping at some tackles and doesn't really gain ground after the tackle. Also the way mamo went round Macintosh was worrying. But all in all I believe we will get better.

agree ,you have highlighted two of our weaker players and its little wonder that edge is targeted.
Maybe Lane could miss out in favour of Lovodua leaving the bench space for Houghton.
Cant see McIntosh holding down the wing spot for much longer

I’d agree with that if Savelio had already played a game and/or Sao was in the 17 re dropping Lane. Also re McIntosh again I’d tend to agree if we had Mitch or Wynne fit. Though if Baron & Litten impress and progress well could see either them possibly pressuring McIntosh for a spot on the wing at some point.

i was thinking more of a player going down in warm up then the 18th man would play.

Thankfully that doesn't happen very often either, unless you're Gaz on your big return to Leeds of course

But I've said for ages mcintosh was a liability

Yet again like Houghton not been good enough 9

People are following what I said about Mcintosh

Gotta say I was worried about Smiths subs on Sunday

Having both lovodua and Houghton on the bench together

Leaving dwyer on the bench until last 5 minutes along with Taylor and satae

Another 2 minutes we'd have lost Sunday

Hopefully a nice learning curve

Lane ran a good line once about 3 years ago and he’s been picked on that for a while

FC had 45 missed tackles - we must pick our best defenders who can also play Tonyball

Agree some people still see him as a "youngster" even though he's 25

Hasn't kicked on just a run of the mill player not good enough

That's our problem none of our youngsters last 10 years have been good enough for a top level club academy

Fash got our player of the year but isn't close to a international call up

Wasn't that long ago we had likes of Horne yeaman Cooke King coming through who were international class

A Super League first will occur tomorrow if Hull beat Leeds. Anyone with a memory like Leslie Welch?
Will be watching the match on TV tomorrow morning.

It'd be the first time we've won three away games in a row at Leeds in the Super League era.
