Terrible.

He's got the basics right for a man of his age but his product is all wrong.

He seems to be going for a Hipster style without the beard, a number one on the sides and longer on top with no quiff.

What he needs is a stiffer Matt product because what he currently has is a shell shocked soldier fresh back from The Somme, and nobody wants that look.

Personally, i don't think he'd look to out of place in a l'oreal advert. He's certainly got the flicking capabilities with a do like that.

Whoever plays at full back, Cockayne or Dixon could be facing a very long day as neither of them are accomplished under the high ball and I can't see Leeds being as dumb as wire were.

If Leeds are as dumb as you are they will have failed to notice that for a few games now Mantellato has had a brief to come across and cover all high kicks and has done so very successfully. Any kicks that go to Roves right hand side are dealt wth by Sio.

For several games now our full back be it Dixon or Cockayne have not had a kick to deal with never mind drop one. Leeds won't waste their time trying to expose Dixon or Cockayne just to have Mantellato or Sio set up a counter attack. They'll have done their homework better than you have.

Bit harsh, not given it alot of thought but if they really think that they must kick to Dixon its pretty simple really run the play before the kick wide and involve man tree in the tackle, im sure that Leeds coaching staff could come up with other ways given its their day job. Not done any homework at all, maybe Leeds coaching will be cleverer than our recent opponents and maybe Sinfield is a better tactical kicker than we have faced ?

His fair flicks around too much in the tackle...

It always makes it look like he has had his head jolted back and that he has been whiplashed, when it's only his greased locks that are jolted!

To early to pick a Wembley seventeen. No doubt Chester has an idea as to his possible line up but two or three positions could be decided on Sunday. Be interesting team selection against Widnes.

Can I just say, I always like your posts and you have a good name.

I think that when we get the chance to train on the pitch both of them need to spend all of it fielding bombs.

I've never been to the new Wembley, but the wind has got to swirl with stands like that, I'm praying for a still day.

Thank you, Sir.
I'd imagine they have practised it a fair bit tbh, bit different to the real thing though isn't it. I went to the first CC final there, Saints/Cats. It was a sunny day without much wind as I remember.

Re: 17 for Wembley : Tue Aug 18, 2015 2:21 pm  

Dixon
Mantellato
Welham
Salter
Sio
Blair
Kelly
Puletua
Lunt
Allgood

Okay Bob, we'll see. But this plan is not at all easy to execute against a brilliant kicker. As someone further up has said if Mantellato is involved in the previous tackle, your entire system is knackered. I fear Leeds tactical planning may be slightly better than Leigh and Halifax's and dare I say it, even yours, astute observer though you are.

Re: 17 for Wembley : Tue Aug 18, 2015 3:02 pm  

I think we need to smash them up the middle with high intensity destroy their forwards and in the process we will be protecting Dixon anyway. I think the final will be decided on which team turns up with the most belief and the right attitude, there is no room for nerves and no room for errors unlike Sunday against Halifax.

You do realise this is Rovers we are talking about don't you?

Welcome to the board by the way. What's your beef with Kev Larroyer?
