Harrigan 197 Report post Posted August 6, 2015 Leeds are playing some decent stuff at the moment but Wire seem to have their number. Both teams should be up for it so I reckon it'll be a close one. Leeds to pull one back, win by 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CiderWire 514 Report post Posted August 6, 2015 After last weeks performance I can't see Wire troubling Leeds, not in the backs anyway. It'll be interesting to see who makes way for Sandow and how he influences the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be interesting to see who makes way for Sandow and how he influences the game. Surely O'Brien must make way. Myler was good last week and is a far better player, but I suppose the challenge is would him and Sandow work together? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walney 19 Report post Posted August 6, 2015 Both teams may be lethargic after last weekends semi-finals. Lethargic to the extent that even Chris Sandow could shine ! I hope he plays and turns it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are right. It would be an interesting scenario over the course of the remaining season if Myler and Sandow's games naturally suit each other. Hopefully they do.

Dave T 16,175 Report post Posted August 7, 2015 which one is the play maker Depends what you mean by playmaker. They can both pass, kick and have good running games. They both have plenty of assists to their name so they are both playmakers. Where we are somewhat lacking is around direction and I'd like to see our hooker doing that more, Monaghan used to do it, Higham did in his absence, Clark isn't that player yet. That lack of direction at 9 is stinging us imho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That lack of direction at 9 is stinging us imho. I always think of the playmaker as not only good passer but also as been able to set up the plays and control the game and keep the players playing to the game plan and not going off into frustration style plays if things start to go wrong. ah a sunday night in front of the telly watching old rugby league games. does life get any better .

I agree, but I don't think that has to be a 6 or 7, although it often is. A 1, 9 or 13 can be a great leader in terms of calling the sets. IMHO Myler is decent at it despite the criticism he gets, and tbh he has had to play with substandard partners since Briers retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave T 16,175 Report post Posted August 7, 2015 Decent game so far. Think with the amount of players out we will struggle towards the end. Russell, Ormsby, Bridge, Atkins, westwood, Grix and Harrison is a substantial chunk of your first 13. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
