ouch

Unlucky for the lad, he's been in great form last 2-3 weeks. Grix to 6 Briers to 7 next few weeks then.

Shame for the lad as he's been playing well recently. Smith says he's out for a couple of weeks at least so hopefully we can have him back for the Cup game.

No news on King or Solomona, hopefully this means they are OK.

We look like we are missing Burrow, Donald, Watkins,Bailey, Ablett and possibly Lauititi and maybe Kylie if he cops a ban following friday`s game.

Whats the problem with Myler

Strained medial ligament in his knee. Nothing too series but a couple of weeks on the sidelines it seems.

Can't tackle, apparently.

Think Ali, kylie and bailey will all be ok for this, maybe ablett too. Should be a pretty strong Leeds team if smith is ok! so no excuses should we not win.

Its a blow but these things happen thought he would be okay as he played on with the knee strapped up and seemed fine.

Keep Grix at Lf and play V Anderson at 7 Briers at 6 .Least disruption the better

Gutted for the lad - Grix will slot in to replace him however which is always good back up.

Hopefully be back for the Bradfurd game.

He'll certainly be a miss. We could have done with him on friday night finishing off any breaks we might make.

I would move briers to 7 and put bridge in at stand off. I think Grix's best position is loose forward.

Did you not go Huddersfield?

Nah keep Bridge at centre he's onfire at the moment.

bridge is better at centre

Precisely my point.

I`d play Richie Mathers at 6 with Briers at 7 and play Riley at full back.

Our current half back combination of Lee Briers and Richie Myler has a nice balance of pace, support play, tactical kicking and creativity.

By playing Mathers at 6 you will keep the support play and he`s far quicker than either Vinnie Anderson or Simon Grix, Mathers quite often comes up into the line as an extra stand off anyway. He can also take is enthusiasm into the middle of the pitch, i think i read right that he played stand off earlier in his career.

Chris Riley would do a solid enough job at full back just like he did at the magic weekend, leave Chris Bridge at right centre where he`s doing a very good job. I`m not keen on either Vinnie Anderson or Simon Grix as a 6, they don`t exactly bounce off the ground and it would be fairly basic stuff and fairly slow in comparison to what were used too and that could blunt our play out wide which has been excellent of late.

Mathers at 6 for me.

Good call. Having seen Mathers play for the reserves @ 6 last year I think he could do a good job. Like you I think he brings another option when he comes into the line. Didn't he create Hicks 1st try on Saturday?

I know Mathers made two killer passes on Saturday but they were actually a bit crap and the players had to work to catch them.

FB Mathers
SO Briers SH Grix
LF Anderson (V)

Riley?

Choices choices
Vinnie at 7, Grix at loose, Bridge to stay at centre, Riley on subs bench

got to agree about bringing mathers up,makes sense.are you reading this TS
