Phil Caplan is wrong on plenty of stuff - he is about as accurate as Dave Parker. I would seem very unlikely that Leeds would start a half back that has never played a senior game of RL - it simply doesn't make any kind of sense.

I would agree that it doesn’t seem to make much sense.

I am not so sure on that. Has playing an inexperienced Richardson been a problem for Saints. Remember this lad was ahead of Trueman at Cas, the same Trueman who has stepped up for most of this season. That’s two top three sides.



If you are good enough is all that matters. That is more to get the head around. Don’t forget they will have a full preseason to see if that is the case, they are not just putting him in mid season.

So long as he's picked on merit I wouldn't be bothered. It would be more of a worry if the plan was to definitely start this kid at 6 given he's completely unproven at open age.

How will they be able to tell in pre-season they wont have a competitive game?



Trueman has come into a team that is pretty strong especially in the forwards and I assume when Gale is properly fit he drops out. Leeds and strong forwards is an oxymoron.

Even the best halfbacks struggle behind a beaten pack. A kid with no 1st team experience will find it even harder. I think it's up front where the priorities are.

I agree with that. If they are good enough they should get the chance and then select on who has the best form

Wow yet your policy under your hero was to agree with has beens the out of form or blatantly injured to be selected on a continuous basis because MC knew best.

Yes, for quite a few of their fans judging from their redvee board. Though doubtless they didn't perceive the problem til Catalans p***ed in their shandies.

Overall Moon has been a class act for Leeds. Thought he was very good last week. He will be important in the weeks to come given we are missing many of our higher quality players.

I've never seen the new kid, be good see him get chances next year but surely the plan can't be to start him as first choice 6, given he has never played a game at even championship level. Leeds have a talented 18 year old at FB who has been getting knocked about all year, we can't pair that up with an 18 year old rookie stand off. Not fair on them or good enough from the club . As an aside Danny Richardson is 21.

Leeds should be bringing mclelland through but IMO need an established player at 6 next year.

Lolohea will play stand off next year, my worry is that the club think they can get by with Sutcliffe / Handley in the centre.

You need 3-4 half backs as players will always get injured/suspended etc. Havining lolohea myler mcclelland is minimum
