| Quote rhinoms="rhinoms"It was one of those games when everything fell into place for Wakey and our lot couldn't get going.
It's happened at 1st team level in the past yet they all get picked again and as has been pointed out there's no choice but to put them in this week and tbh i think they'll be fine.
It doesn't highlight anything re-selection other than needs must.'"
But that is not quite true is it. I watched that game and for the first part Leeds were matching quite comfortably, but none of the players selected for this week were pushing themselves at all.
Macintosh, Carvill, and Stott had excellent games for the academy last week, regardless of the final score or their team mates around them. Two of those play half back by the way, and the other a forward.
Like I said earlier, knowing a first team spot was there for the taking for this week, I would have expected more players to have proved something in that game to take the spot. The players selected did not, so I can only presume they were complacent enough to believe they had the spot anyway.

| Quote Gotcha="Gotcha"I'll be honest with you, I actually expected more of a bite, so I was been naughty. I have to be further honest and say I don't have the answer.
But I don't like at all to see players play pish poor one week and yet not only keep their place in a side, but actually get promoted (accepted through exceptional circumstances). What I would have expected was that knowing there was a few places up for grabs for this game, that in last weeks academy match players would have pushed themselves in order to get that spot. That it did not happen is a bad sign for me. IMO it highlights that maybe form is not high up on the agenda when picking players.'"
Me, Bite, Never
He can only pick who he thinks will do the best job in the first team for that position from what's available, who else is "on form" that he did not pick?
I think what's more important is that those lads chosen make the most of their first team opportunity.

However, in that specific regard he starts from an advantageous position.

| I'd go with:
FB Lee Smith
W Scott Donald
C Brett Delaney
C Keith Senior
W Tom Bush
SO Brent Webb
SH Paul McShane
P Kylie Leuluai
H Danny Buderus
P Ian Kirke
SR Carl Ablett
SR Jones-Buchanan
LF Chris Clarkson
Subs
Matt Diskin
Jamie Peacock
Greg Eastwood
Luke Ambler
Pitts and Amor to drop out.
It will be interesting too see how the half backs combine whoever they are.
As it was only kicking that decided who won last week against wakey lets not hope its the same this week, I still still believe we half more than enough to beat an up and down Quins side.
