not int 17

Look alright when i spoke to him at Salford .

I'll keep hoping he plays 2morro.

Who else, from the 19, is 'rested'? Lewis Foster perhaps, as we have three hookers in the squad?

what 17 ?

Link?

he his in the 19 man official squad as released by the club

If true, fair enough.

3 into 2 doesn't go. Rangi looked a class above both our halves last week.

We have 23 games to find our best halves combo before the 8's. Try Riddy and Chase this week. Ryan will still get plenty of game time whether he plays tomorrow or not.

Not seen anything announced other than our 19 man squad yet though. Would be fine with Riddy and Chase, would be equally fine with Chase and Brierley.

Rotation, Rotation, Rotation. Like the TV show.

Why would they announce a 17 the day before the game?

They wouldn't, It seems Peter Kay really is a comedian.

Have the RFL changed the rules again?

Good evening atomic I'm going to read a few of your posts later,it always helps to get me to sleep.

No. Jukesy picks his 17 and runs through team plays for the game mid-week. He gives the RFL a squad of 19 as he is required to do. This week Ryan is having a rest. Although it would be nice if the op had kept her mouth shut so as not to tip the opposition off to our team selection for the game.

Having a rest we have only played 1 league game (which we lost ) and a couple of friendlies.

How do you know the OP is a woman?

But isn't that the point is squad rotation? Next week rangi or ridy will (hopefully) get a break. Keep doing that through the season and they should be fresh for the middle 8's. Assuming we don't keep losing and fail to qualify

It's no big deal that Ryan is rested..... they'll be chopping and changing everyone this year to keep everyone fresh

Remember, winning every game like we did last year doesn't get you in Super League.... it counts for nothing

Not often that I agree with you Mooky but I'm with you on this

Nozzy - Rangi IS a class above anyone else at the club (including Neil Barker) and worth the admission money alone.

He will be missed very much ON the field at Salford and this year many Reds fans will be at the LSV to see him play.

World class on his day. Enjoy.

lose 4or 5 games an we may not qualify.I would prefer making the top 4 position safe before chopping and changing

I can see it now,.."Hey boss,Peter Kay has just posted on the Leigh forum,Brierley is being rested".."I didn't realise he was a rugby fan,better change our team and tactics then"

Do you really think opposition teams take any notice of a forum?

BTW,he's been dropped not rested.

Forget this qualifying for the top 4 is all that matters, it's qualifying for the top 2 that matters ,as you get the advantage of an extra home game in the 8's, but again my opinion is you go out to win every game,no matter what, professional sportsmen should always want to win,I'm sure everyone at the Club has this philosophy I'm not Neil Jukes , but I would pick my best available 17 every time.

I was at Batley last week, and to see Ryan's reaction after he scored his try,was a breath of fresh air to me, it was full of passion ,and you could see how much it meant to him,last season he seemed a bit quiet when scoring ,but to see him at Batley was so good, I've said before you don't Drop or rest a player that gives you 30 plus tries a season, not counting his passes that assist tries being scored.Again only my opinion.

to me both our best strike players are out of to days game Brierley and McNally,hope we don't regret the decision to rest Brierley

I'd like to see ridy and rangi in the halfs and Lee Smith at full back, is that what the majority would like to see?
