harrison said on radio leeds yesterday halifax were talking to wakey about extending the james deal

Mellars deffo needs a hard kick up the jacksie, god knows where he went after his 1st error. BJ obviously targeted him after that.

I'd like to see what Ellis offers us at hooker...



Maybe time to throw him in instead of Wood off the bench, see what he brings...

They may well want to but we need to look after ourselves first.

This can be sorted out easily enough.



School boy errors.

It could potentially be sorted out by giving big Lucas Walshaw the spot - I haven't seen anything to suggest his defence is weak and he's certainly a handful on the ball.



Could be just the thing to accelerate his development - it's not like he's going to get bullied at SL level; he's freaking massive.

Yes, I reckon he wouldn't let no one down at all, need to pick the right game to bring him in to have a crack.



Ali's been a revelation for me so far this year, he's always been world class but I thought we'd seen his best days at Leeds but no he seems well up for it at and full of enthusiasm and really fit. I think as the season goes on, the other players will come to realize that he gets passes away from the most unlikely of places and once they get more used to that, some good partnerships will occur.

Stood with some Leeds fans on Sat and they reckon thats the fittest he's ever been and how happy he looked to be playing at Wakey.

Lauititi has been great for us so far, said after I saw him play his first game in red white and blue how fit he looked, definitely doesn't look like he's here just for one last pay day and fair play to him for that as we've had others who weren't nearly half as good as him come for that. As the side start to gel and understand each other we could have a left side attack akin to that of sol, domic and tadulala, I rate Mellars as a player (though he's not been firing just yet) but I'd love top see Walshaw outside Ali, with the size of those two it could be a devastating partnership and if Louis can draw the last man Cockayne could have bucketfuls of tries to his name come the end of the season.

By bringing him off the bench we would add a different dimension to our game and make the opposition think differently etc.

Start off with Southern, Kirmond, Mariano etc let them go at it knowing they were going to get twenty minutes rest when Ali comes on, for their hard work.

I'd stick with Aiton at loose though and Wood at nine and if Ellis isn't fit is Davey still here for the rep hooker?

I don't mind Washbrook at 13. Not sure why people are so keen to put Aiton there?

Washbrook's had a new lease of life since coming here and Aiton hasn't put a foot wrong - it it aint broke and all that.
