I`m not Tetavano`s biggest fan but thought he did ok against Hull playing at prop.
Leeds Rhinos 21-man squad: Richie Myler, David Fusitu'a, Nene MacDonald, Ash Handley, Blake Austin, Aidan Sezer, Kruise Leeming, Zane Tetevano, James Bentley, Rhyse Martin, Cameron Smith, Jarrod O'Connor, Sam Lisone, Derrell Olpherts, Justin Sangare, Tom Holroyd, James McDonnell, Sam Walters, Liam Tindall, James Donaldson, Jack Sinfield.
I reckon Tindall, Donaldson and Sinfield will miss out from the 18 selected with maybe Bentley 18th man.

Tindall was very good for us in our win against Toulouse, sorry I meant he was awful, clearly not up to SL, he needs a full season in the championship to get up to speed...

As you were.

And so it should. Given the massive discrepancy in salary cap and the fact that it took place in OZ, the win against Penrith probably eclipses Wigan's win against Brisbane in the early nineties, as the greatest single performance by an English club side. Just hope we can catch you in celebratory mode on Friday. You do look to have a couple out.

Exactly right. Though of course if by some miracle we do prevail that makes us the lineal world champs

Until next week, when Wakefield become World Champions. Eventually it will trickle down to the Leigh Lopards who will almost certainly have a giant celebration and put a gold star on their jerseys.

Should we have a big garish World Champions belt like in boxing that we can pass around?

I hope that olpherts is out of the team with Martin centre handley wing and Bentley Mcdonnell/Tetevano back row and Walters coming in.

[exturl][/exturl]That’s not gonna happen. Neither is Tet getting dropped. You don’t sign oversea’s players on big salaries to ‘drop’ them after few games. Managers are cleverer than this. Better to try and get more out of them…..

I get your point but his fitness is awful and hes a passenger at the moment.He's 2 to 4 weeks off being ready then bring him back then, there's nothing clever about plying an unfit player.

He’s not as unfit as you think and did ok v Hull. You won’t see him looking much different as this is his natural build, and we signed him as he is……

Handley has to play wing.You are the looking at a choice of Fusitua Martin Mcdonnell and Olpherts at centre.
