Re: Magic Squad
Kiicking game needs to be very good...and varied.
The high kick to the corner for our wingers to contest is great if we had wingers the size and height of Kirk Dixon & Solomona, but we don't have now so why bother? :-k
I would aim bombs at the goal posts, grubber kicks at the post pads. reverse grubber kicks behind the defensive line (see Gale's kick for Millington at Headingley last year) mix it up...keep them guessing!

Re: Magic Squad
Usually I would say we really need Webster especially with their backs, however maybe you are right about having the pace on this big pitch. (If Webster does play it would be nice to see wardle go into the backs as he was starting to look good there)TT Tiger wrote:Is it time to try something different?
How about
1 Shenton
2 Gill
3 Wardle
4 Minikin
5 Hitchcox
6 Ellis
7 Truman
8 JSL
9 mcshane
10 Watts
11 Mcmeekan
12 Holmes
13 Milner
14 Millington
15 Moors
16 Foster
17 Cook/Massey
Minikin tore Leeds apart at Elland road. It’s another wide football pitch I would like to see plenty of pace in the back line. If Webster is 50/50 give him a rest. And what a strong pack we have now.
Agree with having trueman in the halves. We looked a lot more dangerous with him there last week. Still got one hell of a pack which will hopefully be the difference.

Re: Magic Squad
Where have we got the big pitch from. it is quite wide but around the same length as our very own small pitch at the Jungle, although I doubt many pundits will mention this at all.lidds wrote:Usually I would say we really need Webster especially with their backs, however maybe you are right about having the pace on this big pitch.

Re: Magic Squad
Agree, although the only decent kick Ellis put in at the goal posts last week Shenny tackled Barba in the air, gave the penalty and they marched down field and scored! What should have been a drop out turned into a conceded try. I’m one of the first to criticise Ellis, but the chasers need to do their job correctly too - small margins. These are the little things that aren’t quite clicking at the moment, but they will I’m sure.duke street 10 wrote:Kiicking game needs to be very good...and varied.

Main worry is the backs.
Up against hall Watkins especially the high ball.
Forwards should stream roll there pack.

While shenny is at full back I’d keep foster at left center, he looks a natural.

Hardly, great effort from Foster but he made no effort to pass the ball all afternoon, but did a job.old cas lass wrote:lurcher wrote:wonder if that's why we went for fozzy in the centre, had Watkins in his back pocket.
