Never started one of these before, so thought I would have a go!



Team I'd pick



1-Hardaker

2-Briscoe

3-Watkins

4-Moon

5-Hall

6-Mcguire

7-Sinfield

8-Singleton

9-Aiton

10-Peacock

11-Delaney

12-Ablett

13-TMFMISL



14-Burrow

15-Sutcliffe

16-Kylie

17-Achurch (if not fit Clarkson)



I've got Sutcliffe on the bench as well as Burrow because he can cover the back row as well, TMFMISL can cover prop in spells if needed.

I'd like to thin this is how we line up but with BMD you never know.



Leeds to win by 12



New attendance record at CP due to amount of free tickets given away!!!!

Think you may find Burrow will start

Yep I'm fully aware of that but I did put down what I'd like, not what I expected. I feel that Aiton starting when the game is tight with Burrow coming on as the game frees up a bit works really well ala Buderus a few years ago.

Is BJB injured ?

No, I think he will start with Briscoe and BJB will come back in when someone is injured or off form. BMD could do it the other way though, He's said as much in the press. Our coach does have a very good headache regarding our backs this season.

BJB TOO GOOD TO BE LEFT OUT OF SQUAD

Your right but so too are WBW and Briscoe, like I said it's a good headache to have!!!

Looking forward to this. The wing centre partnerships could be awesome but need the ball.



Hall talked about a new structure in his interview the other day.

Think 15 of the 17 is nailed on. It's between Sutcliffe, Achurch and Clarkson for the last 2 bench spots.



Based on the 2 showings I saw in pre-season I'd go Clarkson over Achurch. Given we've got 3 away games in the first 4 outings (all against top 8 teams from 2013) I'd prefer the better defensive back rower over the better attacking back rower. Would include Sutcliffe as a back rower because he's got an X Factor and him + Watkins + Briscoe in attack would be lethal.



Would opt for Aiton to start but think that's very unlikely, hopefully he still gets decent minutes from the bench. Sure up the middle defence either side of halftime when the starting forwards are having a breather. If Peacock goes off after 30 do you want to introduce Aiton in the middle of defence or introduce and hide Burrow to the edges.
