It Baffles me why Baldwinson isn't getting game time during this period. Perfect time to blood him imo and see what he has got. He must be dis heartened to see players out of form and plenty of injuries opening the door yet still no signs of an opportunity.

He's a little unlucky, in that the position he plays isn't one where we've had all the injuries. Had he been a second rower, I'm sure he would have been in the 17 on a regular basis. Even with a prop at 13 though, he's still effectively eighth choice for six spots behind Galloway, Garbutt, Cuthbertson, Mullally, Singleton, JJB and Delaney.

Yeah probably true.
I do hope if we fail to make the Super 8s he gets game time throughout the middle 8s, that would definitely be a chance to blood him.

Out of that list cuthbertson singleton and JJB would be ahead of him. Ben cross mk II is garbage but will get played, mullally is average no better than baldwinson. Garrbutt isn't pulling up any trees on current form. Delaney is constantly injured

Garbutt had 132m on Friday and over 200+ vs Salford. In fact only 1 appearance of his 7 this year has he not made 100m+. Not many props in the league give you that and I think he's been harshly criticised this year for someone that's given us near-Peacock-level metres carrying the ball.

Not sure if you made it to Salford but Leeds forced five drop-outs and someone racked up plenty of easy metres - just as Peacock often did in similar circumstances.
