Bails could have some fun with Poore and Travis Burns.

On the BJB/Briscoe selection, if it was based on Quins game BJB teared it up.

Really looking forward to this game, our forwards are looking pretty strong and your backs are outstanding. Think it could go either way.

He did have the benefit of coming on against a London side that was out on its feet, and played a significant proportion of his actual game time at full back IIRC?



Thought Briscoe played well enough to merit first shot, seemed to strike up a decent combination with Watkins and looked dangerous in broken field on kick returns and from dummy half early doors.

Completely agree mate its obvious Mags and Sinfield will be 6 and 7 so Suttcliffe will have to make do with a bench spot as will Aiton with RB starting at 9.

I think BJB would have replicated that destruction if he'd been on for 1st half as well. He played with a point to prove and he it made it. BJB was all over the field.



Briscoe played well and was given alot of last tackle kicks put in his direction (which weren't great quality kicks).



It's a nice quandary to have for mac to have. Shame there isn't that level of competition in other areas of the team.



From earlier discussions who would you start at hooker Sunday?

That's a big, mean looking pack & subs if correct.

Should be fun.

If all the squad are fit I would line up for the first match as follows:



BJB (classy with great pace so just pips Hardaker who has a great physical game but it comes with a few flaws)

Brisco

Watkins

Moon

Hall

Mags

Sinfield

Kylie

Burrow

JP

Delaney

Ablett

JJB (if not fit then Ward who if not fit then Bailey)



Bailey (If JJB & Ward not fit then Kirke)

Singleton

Ward (if not fit then Achurch)

Sutcliffe



This line up would have great pace with plenty of creative players. I have feeling that Leeds will play a more offloading game this year and if so we want heads up players with good hands in the side.



IMO Burrow as one of our fastest and most effective attackers has to play 80 minutes. So if he starts at 9 I see no place for Aiton who would be a waste of a bench slot. Burrow will then interchange with Sinfield as he did last season and for England in the World Cup. If Burrow were to get injured Sinfield would go to 9 and Sutcliffe or Ward (if fit would go into the halves. To play 2 hookers only works IMO if both are outstanding players.

aiton. with burrow coming on after 25 ish. aiton can fill in at loose or second row just like terry newton did when lee jackson came on

I think based on McDermott's history the team will line up:



Hardaker

Briscoe Watkins Moon Hall

Sinfield McGuire

Leuluai Burrow Peacock

Delaney Ablett

Bailey



Aiton Singleton Achurch Clarkson



I can see BJB starting over Hardaker too. McDermott isn't overly keen on Hardaker and if Hardaker is to leave then it is best to develop BJB at full back.

Hardaker FB. BJB and Briscoe on the wings and Alton to start Burrow on the bench. The rest picks itself.

Won't happen as Hall will keep his place and Burrow will start.
