You have to look at numbers and options though. Is this going to be a game that warrants 2 hookers? I think it will be tight. Maybe better to have 3 frwds and a back on the bench.

We will have spells of Sinfield at hooker, Ablett to loose and diskin subbed. This would tie Watkins in nicely to come on at Centre.

Thats a good call. We do have plenty of people who could cover dummy half for 15mins to give Disco a rest

Gibson and mcshane to drop out then.
I just hope the gamble with ali and burrow doesn't back-fire!
C'mon the RHINOS!!!!

Doubt it will... remember he said over a week ago that they probably could have played in the KR game. Then all of a sudden they were very doubtful for this game. All mind games IMO.

Hope so i'm still confident either way!

Would be absolutely the worst option to take as it disrupts the pattern of the team too much.

McLennan needs to have faith in McShane and put him on the bench, give him ten minutes or so either side of half time to enable Diskin to come back fresh for the last 25-30 minutes.

In the FE last season it was Webb who jumped into dummy half and when he was out of the GF it was Burrow. If Burrow plays I'd expect to see that again to give Diskin a spell.

Sounds good enough to win to me...just a wee bit worried about the ref based on his performances to date.

The last thing Leeds need to be worrying about. If Jason Robinson controls the tackle area on Sunday the same way he did at Warrington, Manly will get absolutely caned in the penalty count.

His interpretation was very SL orientated, giving the defending team no latitude to work the tackled player on the floor.
