Eden

Aston
Watts
McShane
Millo
McMeeken
Foster
Milner

And then a bench of everyone who's left really.

Would like to think Aston gets first shot at 7 and then during the match Rankin to come on to show us what he can do, although I imagine he'll be a bit rusty on the plays.

Anyone carrying a niggle should be rested.
Can't argue with that to be fair.

Also, Headingley pitch looks to be in pretty poor condition, so could well be a forward battle. We definitely beat them in the forwards.

In our friendly Egodo looked like he could push for a centre spot , we are all aware that we need cover in the centers wouldn't this be a game to try him to see if he could do it ??

Suppose it depends if DP is willing to have some players running out for the first time against Catalan.

Sky bet have us with a +6 handicap. Well worth a little bet I think.

Minikin looks to have put a lot of size on judging from the pics in Lanzarote.

maybe be stronger finisher then clair on left wing whats he like under high ball
Since when has CLARE played on the left wing???
Please forgive me if I'm wrong but a certain Mr. EDEN has had the number 5 shirt for the last two years plus the forthcoming season which makes 3 seasons in a row.

Are you trying to say that Egodo would make a better left winger than Eden, or that he would be a better right winger than Clare?

To say that he (Egodo) would be a better left winger than Clare comes across a tad silly based on the fact that neither of them has had a consistent run in that position.

If Egodo is in the equation center would be the position were he should play, us as fans know we are thin on the ground regarding centre cover, fans keep harping on that friendly's mean nothing so what have we to loose by not trying him in the centre in some part of the game ??

Can’t understand all these people who seem to think all of a sudden we will get smashed by Leeds.

Yeh they have added 2 half decent players but the rest are the same ones who were in the middle 8s last season.

The "new coach" factor, new ideas, new found confidence, determination to impress. More factors than just new players. I think they will be dangerous this year.

Plus Watkins back fit, I'm with you, I think Leeds will be knocking on the door again this year
