I think Briscoe has/had a slight knee issue this week but maybe not enough to rule him out. Might be why Hall is back in whereas Watkins has got the week off after England duty.

The way they've worded the squad announcement with regards to Alex Sutcliffe suggests he won't play...."he's drafted into the squad for match day experience". Usually they'd write that "he's in line to/could make his debut"

Whats happened to Jack Walker? He showed more attacking ability in his game against Hudds than Golding has all season. Too young and not as strong defensively?

PS: - That is nothing against Golding who has tried hard and done very well defensively.

Need to be more ruthless. But hopefully had our sloppy 20mins in first half now ,as opposed to second half like donny Widnes Huddersfield

What a waste of an opportunity that. What can we learn from that. Perfect opportunity for youngsters game time massively missed.

Home to fev. Happy with that.

Perhaps felt that they needed some consistency going into a tough game v cas next weekend, especially after the rest last time v doncaster didn't seem to do them any favours.

Re: CCRD 6 | Leeds Rhinos v Barrow Raiders : Sun May 14, 2017 4:19 pm  

Having the easy run for a change.

Other 3 are very close to call. Cas away to Hull is a big ask for them too considering they lost there recently with a man advantage for 60 mins.

Wire/Wigan depends really on what shape Wigan are in injury wise by the time of the game and great opportunity to either Salford or Wakey to get a semi final spot.

Can't imagine it'd achieve much unless they were going to get more games imminently. How long would the experience stay with the youngsters and how long would their performances remain in the minds of the coaches? To my mind better to rehearse a few moves and improve cohesion between some of the players that will have important roles to play.
