I dont hink stevie ward is an injury risk if he is back to full contact training. However even if he is fit I don't see how he can be match fit.
London showed last week that they can score points so it may be a risk to have someone who likely won't be up with the pace of the game.
Shows agains why we need a reserve team.

Guess the question is, would you play an undercooked Ward over Achurch?

I think with a 4 forward bench you could get two 10/15 mins spells out of him a half (we know Ablett and Ferres as starting 2nd rows won't spend much time on the bench anyway). Whilst I'd go for Keinhorst for the bench I'd imagine he'd be the one to make way (if Ward does get picked) rather than Achurch going on how much game time they're getting in recent games.

Unfortunately York seems quite expensive now compared to other places to get to London. Or it has been the last few times I've tried to book trains for the cup final or for internationals.

Sutcliffe
Briscoe
Watkins
Keinhorst
Hall
Moon
McGuire
Galloway
Segeyaro
Garbutt
Ablett
Ferres
JJB

Lilley
Cuthbertson
Mullally
Achurch

Intersted to see Moon in the halves. Lilley's shoulder I'm guessing is the reason he only makes the bench.

Not before time either.

Ruck speed causing us some problems.

Ref seems to be letting Nodnol off with a lot of not standing square.

Gifted tries away again and not dominating collisions in the middle allowing them quick PTB's. London's second try from our defence was garbage from us (although the field position gifted to them from the ref deciding that Watkins tackled the opponent in the air was a poor call).

In attack as the half went on we were looking livelier and livelier and a number of breaks and half breaks appearing when far out. Trying to keep the ball alive and be more aggressive compared to last week and the first half vs Fev which did cost us their first try but still better to see as its the style we suit best. Near the opponents line though we are still struggling.

London do look handy in attack and one of the other SL teams might come unstuck against them.

Also that could be McGuire's season over. Guess at maybe a broken bone in his foot?

Re: SLQ RD3 - London A. : Sat Aug 20, 2016 3:28 pm  

incredibly low intensity game this. Like a pre-season run out for both.

Leeds defence for the London tries have all included at least one embarrassing attempt at a tackle (and im being kind describing the effort for the cunningham try as an attempt at tackling, it barely even reached that)
