More bad news... : Wed Apr 08, 2009 8:01 am  

Deacon out on Friday.

The guy has been a liability this season for the Bulls in terms of his defence and he's been too slow for ages.

He's also not gelled with Jefferies

I'd prefer it if he was playing

At least he won't be there to kick goals.

I'd expect them to go:

Halley
Sheriffe
Sykes
Nero
Tadulala
Menzies
Jeffries
Burgess
Newton
Lynch
Solomona
Worrincy
Langley

Scruton
Cook
Kopczak
Donaldson

He has one of the best kicking games in the competition. Been highlighted previously that leeds do not respond well when the oppossition have a good kicking game.

I am glad he is out, if true.

Even the kicking game has gone out the window from what I've seen/heard.

Solomona at 6, Jefferies at 7 I take it then?

I think Macca will go with Menzies 6, Jeffries 7, Solomona in the backrow. I think we'll line up like this:

Michael Platt
Rikki Sheriffe
Paul Sykes
Chris Nero
Semi Tadulala
Steve Menzies
Ben Jeffries
Sam Burgess
Terry Newton
Andy Lynch
David Solomona
Mike Worrincy
Jamie Langley

Bench:
Halley
Kopczak
Scruton
Crossley/Crookes/Donaldson/Olbison/Tate/Whitehead


Don't know who he's likely to pick as fourth sub, it will definitely be a youngster, but whether Macca thinks we will need annother Second Row if Solomona isn't fully fit, or another centre I don't know. Personally i'd start Halley instead of Sheriffe and put Rikki on the bench, doubt McNamara will though.



Matt Cook, Jamie Langley, Rikki Sheriffe, Sam Burgess, Paul Sykes, Nick Scruton, Steve Menzies, Terry Newton, Jason Crookes, Paul Deacon, Dave Halley, Tom Olbison, Andy Lynch, Craig Kopczak, Ben Jeffries, Semi Tadulala, Michael Worrincy, Michael Platt, Chris Nero

No but based on castleford performance deserves a game out.

Deacon always seems to miss Leeds vs Bradford games
