| CS might be tempted to play the Walker brothers together to see if there competitive streak spurrs them both on.
disappointing to not have Cox and Lovegrove in there but I guess that shows the depth we have now.

| I think a young forward with an older forward will work well. And I would rather lovegrove be on the bench then Horne can play in the pack and centre if needed

| What a feel good factor this club is in at the moment, and with strength in depth we have by leaving the likes of Cox, Gleeson and Lovegrove sat in the stands shows how far we have come this season. Bring on Sunday, I for one cant wait!!

| I really feel for Coxy and Lovegrove on this one. Sandercock must really fancy Larroyer to put him ahead of Jordan and Rhys!
If Burns plays I would play Hally on the wing instead of Disco or Charlie, Salter plays because of his defence, as someone stated earlier it could be a tight affair because of the pitch/weather so as many good defenders needed.
Maybe even leave Welham out whose defence needs to improve.
My 17 would be:
Eden
Hall
Salter
Welham
Charlie
Burns
Buster
A.walker
Hodgson
Weyman
Larroyer
Langley
Costigan
Rep:
Poore
J.Walker
Green
Horne
Costigan or Horne to fill in at 9 if Josh needs a breather.
Cannot bloody wait RRTR.

That team doesn't look good enough to beat Leeds hopefully the actual team will be a bit stronger. The 3/4 in particular we look outclassed and without Burns we'll be no match at half back.
If Burns is half fit he must play there's no point saving him for a virtually unwinnable game at Huddersfield a week later.

So, we have 75% of our first choice 3/4s available yet still look 'outclassed'?
Looks like being a long hard season then.

Leeds most people agree have the best 3/4's in the competition but we only play them twice a season.
We need Burns on the right hand side to disrupt them otherwise they WILL run riot. Then we have chance because our forwards are the match of theirs.

| Salter had the best game of his career up against Moon last year, he should be playing tomorrow. Craig Hall also has to be in the team because his goal kicking is far better than anyone else in the team. With this in mind I'd put Hall on the wing for Hodgson.
Hall's best spell for Rovers came at the back end of the 2011 season while he was on the wing so we know he is capable and his height offers something different out wide. Cockayne offers more than Hodgson as well IMO so warrants his spot.
Eden
Cockayne
Welham
Salter
Hall
Burns
Keating
Poore
Hodgson
Adam Walker
Larroyer
Costigan
Langley
Carlile
Horne
Jonny Walker
Weyman
Green very unlucky to miss out though. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in for Horne with Hodgson moving to the back row with Carlile coming on to spell him at hooker and Costigan coming off.

| leeds' back 5 looks very strong but their halfs aren't great and their forwards are getting on a bit so I think if rovers' forwards can get on top you have the beating of them

| I really think the pitch is a big element tomorrow.
Home advantage is huge in this one, if we get our tactics right, we should be disappointed not to win.
Leeds rarely lose their first game of the season, but I think we have a real chance on Sunday.
I want to see a boring game, a war of attrition, I want to see us kick early and well, defend tight with good line speed and grind them down.
We need to shut them down at the ruck and make it a complete forward game. I want our second rowers jamming in and stopping any ball to their three quartets.
A nasty ugly game is what I want to see.

Not really, I just think you need an individual game plan for each game, and your opposition in ordeer to maximise your chances of winning.
We need to have a really simple game plan, if we win tomorow we'll, win because we get our defense right.
We've had far too many games against Leeds that have been cracking games of rugby league where Danny McGuire et al have sored in the last threee minute.
All about the points, I love free flowing rugby, but early season rugby is about getting points on the board, look at the table from the last nineteen seasons and after about ten rounds, there's very lttle movement in that five to eight lague that we'll be invilvd in.

| Sun is shining, hopefully stays that way. I agree with the goose if we make it a forawrd slug and kick them long we have a chance, let them play expansive and we get spanked. We have to look after the ball.

| Starve the centres of the ball, chances increase ten fold.
I think our forwards will dominate definately. I'd bet burns to do a similar job to what he did to Danny brought last year, in his face and put sinfield out of rhythm. Saying that he tried against FC and failed miserably
