From a Leeds point of view I have a bad feeling about this game. I expect to see a reaction from saints this week and any Leeds saints game is going to be competitive

if you were to have this id swap wheels and shenton it would add to the defance to both sides, meli the winger needs a better defender on his inside and i wouldnt have foster, he starts or doesnt get a shirt we need to get rid of the back on the bench, THE only way we should have one is if its someone to play hooker and either give robes a rest and add the extra level around the ruck

Has the Saints squad changed remarkably over the last couple of days because im sure there was a thread only a few days before Simmons got sacked that predicted you wouldnt win another game all season and all your players were overrated and disinterested with the exception of Roby!! If TP could catch it would be all doom and gloom with that useless coach Royce Simmons in charge and your players would not now be world beaters again!

A week is a very long time in sport!!

Do people think Laffranchi is a prop or second row?

With his good handling skills id play him in the second row out wide against Carl Ablett and watch him run wild. The centres would get the ball then.

At his current size I'd say he's a back row. He has the frame to bulk up so moving to a permanent position at prop isn't out of the question.

Not a bad tactic. TBH, I'm up for anything that re-connects our pack and backs.

He has almost identical stats to Adrian Morley this year, so I don't think there's a question of him being capable at prop.

There have been glimpses, however, of him getting half breaks out wide, which makes you wonder whether he'd be better employed a bit wider and that his move forward has been premeture?

If we turn things around and start performing, it would be interesting if he could be given a bit of freedom out wide, especially with Soliola being able to play more central at times.

Laffranchi and Soliola in the second row would be menacing!

We could quite easily force teams down the middle as they won't want to run at them two out wide freeing them up to get more of the ball or come inside of they wanted to look for work.

Just a suggestion.

Where are getting this idea that Laffranchi can be manacing from? He's a workhorse, but there is no impact there at all. Soft in the tackle, soft tackler too.
