Colbon dropped out today, Cockayne in in his place on the wing. Think ben will be up against Armstrong.

Makes sense to be as Cockayne is one of the best kick returners in Super League. Too add to that, I reckon we can get a lot of joy with our kick chase game because Briscoe/Fox/Cockayne combination is significantly faster than Wellens/Gardner/Armstrong combination.

Chev would have to get near him first to punch him!

Was txtin him after the game last week and he'd said he had pulled his hamstring in the warm up and was struggling all through the game.

How right was I.

Wellens & Gardner are slower than the slug in my garden and should never play for England again.

I certainly think that the crop of Leeds youngsters such as Watkins etc. are far superior to those of Saints and I expect decline to evolve when Cunningham, Long & Gidley retire as they are virtually irreplacable.

The Peter Fox try was sublime! He was waiting right on the edge of the touchline on the same lining as the post. Gardner was about 15metres infront of him defending. Rovers had a scrum and Dobson placed it into the corner, I even think it was Welham who picked it up and gave it Fox but the pace on Fox compared to Gardner. Wow.

Assuming you wern't there Zod, apologies if you were!
