    Default 19 Man Squad v Leeds

    https://www.saintsrlfc.com/2019/02/2...nnouncement-2/

    I assume TYG is otherwise engaged so here is the squad as announced (same 19 as v Wakefield).

    Haha I like how it’s unofficially become my job to do these. And yeah was stuck in a meeting and just came on here to post it.

    I’d be amazed if there’s any changes to the 17 this week. No reason to change anything yet.

    Agreed mate. If our starting front row does a job on theirs, I think we’ll be fine. Warrington dominated them up the middle in round 1 and Leeds didn’t really have an answer. They’ve got some individual quality who can be dangerous if they’ve got space but it’s hard for those players if they’re facing a set defence all the time and they’re on the back foot.

    Im not particularly enchanted by their backs either. The majority are mediocre. In fact Leeds are a team Id take on in the Betfair exchanges this year. I think they may struggle and its a transition year for them.

    I don't think I'd class Watkins as mediocre. Konrad Hurrell looks a handful and Handley has a habit of scoring against us.
    The win against Salford will have given them a boost, they needed a game like that to get their act together.
    I wouldn't write them off too easily

    Id be disappointed not to win comfortably. Watkins is merely an exception to the rule. Hurrell is the quintessential flatteack bully, great for hattricks against the likes of London and Salford but a track record of performing a vanishing act when the going gets tough. Handley is average and frightens noone. As i say Ill be taking Leeds on a lot this year, especially if they keep playing Owen Craigie’s lost brother at stand off. Horribly overated team.

    I am with you Infamous on this, them three you mentioned plus Briscoe may be looking for a chance to regain his form after a few years injured, Singleton runs the ball as well as anyone and Ferres has been showing signs of his old self.
    Leeds are always in our games no matter what side they put on the paddock, to write them off is arrogant on our fans behalf. If we then get beat the same people will be calling for Holbrook, Fages, Grace and Paulo`s etc, resignation with immediate effect, barely crediting a side that plays well against us.

    Looks weird you not posting the teams. You should have walked out of the meeting at 11.55 and re entered at 12.05 after posting

    Re the game. We always seem to make it a struggle at home with Leeds. I think it might be harder due to their big win and our week off. We seem to struggle after time off. We should win, but need more from Coote re his kicking around the park. If we turn up we should be ok.

    No reason to change yet but I would like to see some rotation this season.

    Same team for me, with some rotation for the Salford and London games. I don’t want us blowing our load in June/July again.

    Too early for any of that for me. Got to have a run of games this early in the season IMO. Wigan to Wakefield was a long turn around and there was no game last week. Players will still be trying to get some consistency and timing into their games and that only happens by playing. You’d be frustrated to be told you’re having a rest after 3/4 games.

    And you’d be equally as frustrated if after 4/5 games, you’ve had no game time whatsoever. Salford, London and Huddersfield is three consecutive games where we could do with spelling Roby, for example.

    Mmmmmmm. Not sure what to make of this. Have we been complacent or are Leeds really that good? I think theirs an element of complacency here.

    Disregarding the first 10ish mins, the following have been utterly crap:

    Coote
    Grace
    Fages
    Taia
    Peyroux
    LMS
    Lees
    Paulo

    To add, I think after 3 games Paulo is an early contender for worst import ever. I'm staggered how out of his depth he looks.

    Couldn't see us keeping Leeds out in the second half but fair play to the lads one way or another we managed it. Got to get the goal
    kicking situation sorted .Just shows how important Richardson was last season.

    I actually thought he did ok tonight. Made good meters after contact and gave some nice passes when linking with the backs. I think he will get better the more minutes he plays. He’s not played a great deal so far.

    Just questioning myself on that. I thought I saw him on but it must have been Taia.

    Haha!
