Keep the faith?

Nah, looking forward to the inevitable call for Mac’s head after a drab performance against Wakey on Boxing Day.

Pfft, keep the faith, tch.

I hope so.Ferres was class for hudds and England for a few years before joining us and i was really excited by him signing when he did but its hard to argue his stay with us so far has been underwhelming. He has the ability for sure and has no excuses from next feb being given a full pre season.

4 possible full backs X 5 stand offs X 3 scrum halves = 60 combinations.

Nice try but players cant play in multiple positions

..

31 numbers issued. Corey aston not among them. Walters and handley still there.

Singleton 10,cuthbertson 8 with galloway dropping down to 20.

Dissapointed but not suprised walker didnt get 1. Feel like he earned it with his performances on the field. Maybe its to prevent him from getting ahead of himself and thinking he's already made it, so can see the argument for keeping him in the 20's for now.

The moves are interesting, particularly as someone earlier posted that BMc says that numbering doesn't indicate the best starting 17. Singleton up into the prop shirts with Cuthbo at the expense of Galloway indicates that isn't right, but then he's left Delaney at 15.

1 Ashton Golding, 2 Tom Briscoe, 3 Kallum Watkins, 4 Liam Sutcliffe, 5 Ryan Hall, 6 Joel Moon, 7 Richie Myler, 8 Adam Cuthbertson, 9 Matt Parcell, 10 Brad Singleton, 11 Jamie Jones-Buchanan, 12 Carl Ablett, 13 Stevie Ward, 14 Brad Dwyer, 15 Brett Delaney, 16 Anthony Mullally, 17 Mitch Garbutt, 18 Jimmy Keinhorst, 19 Brett Ferres, 20 Keith Galloway, 21 Nathaniel Peteru, 22 Ash Handley, 23 Jack Ormondroyd, 24 Jack Walker, 25 Jordan Lilley, 26 Harry Newman, 27 Cameron Smith, 28 Mikolaj Oledzki, 29 Joshua Jordan-Roberts, 30 Joshua Walters, 31 Alex Sutcliffe.

Expect that means that Aston has left the club & Walters is on his way out.

All numbers, contracts and positions in the thread that’s stickied.

I can see why they've promoted Singleton but why not just give him the number 8 shirt, seems pointless switching Cuthbertson's number.

The 10 shirt carrys some Kudos with it i guess they see it as just reward for Singo would be my guess.
Also i doubt shirt No's hold as much meaning to Aussies.

Except you've got the same sweet in several bags, and can't pick it twice (sounds like one of those convoluted draws for football tournaments).

I'm not going to attempt to work out the maths, so got a spreadsheet to do the work, and I make it 37 combinations

Oops.

7 with walker at full back
10 with golding at full back
10 with Sutcliffe at full back
10 with moon at full back


But this includes repeated combinations eg
1 Sutcliffe 6 moon 7 Lilley
1 moon 6 Sutcliffe 7 Lilley

We will finish top 4 easily and top two is we're we should be aiming, can honestly see us finishing top. Think McGuire grand final performance has clouded people's judgement on his and burrows form for last two years, McGuire was often found wanting in lots of games last year(understandably as he is at the end of his career) having a proper second hooker for impact and squad rotation will be miles better than having a past it burrow as back up we generally lost a lot when parcel did not start or was subbed.

Finishing top two for us has a psychological effect on the other contenders even the LLS winners just because of Leeds recent history

Anywere in top 4 at end of 8's is good because we can when it from anywere and every side knows it, nobody will want to play us and all other contenders will prefer it if we are no we're near the mix at the business end.
