Happy with the above. We must get on top in the forwards, so if Hansen isn't 100% fit then he doesn't play.

Id rather Hansen in for Tuson rather than Feka

Is it seen as too risky with Hansen's fitness and Feka's obvious lack of mobility in defence? You don't quite know what you are going to get with either whereas with Tuson you know you're going to get a lad who will run his blood to water. Precisely what you want in a play off situation.

Madge must be impressed with tuson Coz he doesn't look like dropping him. I think he is doing a good good. Very steady every week and his defence is awesome

I can certainly see why Madge likes him so much. Athletic, defensively sound and offensively improving all the time.

My thoughts exactly.



Dave

Why would Goulding be dropped? Surely it would be Deacon who got dropped. Amos to 1, Sam to 6 and TL to 7.



Dave

Do you think Deacon deserves to be dropped for him? I dont. We look much more organised with him on the field.

If/when he gets back to his pre-injury form, definitely. Probably not yet, though. He did OK in the reserves game tonight, but still looks hesitant when running/stepping.

I don't want to see Amos back unless absolutely necessary. One of the reasons we lost to Warrington and Saints was that we rushed him back and he didn't perform. As has been said we look a lot more organised with Deacon on, this takes pressure off Sam and allows him to impose himself on the game when he wants and gives him more opportunity to run in broken play where he really excels.



As for the team on Sunday I'd say Tuson and Marsh to drop out and a professional performance should see us win by 20.

I just think the sum of the parts of Roberts, Sam, TL is greater than Sam, TL, Deacon.



If Roberts was 100% I think it's a no brainer we are better with my preferred set up. From what Geoff says it appears Roberts is still not ready so its a moot point but I think we are weaker without him because despite Deacon's superior kicking game I don't think that would get him n the side over the others.



Dave

As the old saying goes if it aint broke don't fix it simple as that Roberts isn't in the team for the simple reason that the current side is getting the job done. Other than the odd change here and there mainly in the Forwards things have stayed the same and rightly so. As for Sunday according to Madge on the match preview video he states that Feka was carrying a slight knock perhaps thats the reason its between him and Hansen for the 17th place. I personally don't expect to see Hansen to play this week perhaps next week or two weeks dependent on the result. I'd like to think that Madge will try to take advantage of Leeds' Forwards minus Peacock, Burgess & JJB to try get on top in this area which is where this game should be won/lost like most games are.
