[quote="PopTart":2wasjla7]The loss of Scott shifted my confidence a little bit. From having a strong attacking option we have a left centre playing right opposite Newman. Pratt will either have a hard day or show the world how good he is. Looking forward to finding out.[/quote:2wasjla7] I’ve been outspoken on here regarding Pratts size etc, but he’s showed up excellent in Pre-Season. Now’s his chance to absolutely cement his spot and leave hall and Scott to scrap for the other position. He’ll be up against a decent centre Saturday aft so let’s hope he hype is real and does the business.

For many this will be their first SL game, so they will need time to adjust. I recall a winger named Murphy who did quite well despite a less than promising start against Leeds.

We shouldn’t put that amount of pressure on him. But I’m sure he will do his best, even with a possible broken nose (which I hope doesn’t affect him too much).

Pressure should be a privilege at this level, it means most of the time you’re doing something right. Pratt has big wraps on him, and he’s really impressed me this pre-season. He’s against a player who in my opinion is in the top 5 centres in SL, he played for England due to injuries to Wardle etc. As Mills says we judge players against the top teams/players not against the lowest.

If trinity perform well and show promise that will do me. I feel the result could go either way but home advantage may edge it Leeds way. That said, winning becomes a habit and we have the quality to win it and that shouldn't be underestimated !
