No Senior again. Now looking like 3 from 6.

Didn't see that coming so soon. Looks like he will play some part too.

[iCommenting on the news Head Coach Brian McClennan said, “We are delighted to have Brent back involved this week. Our medical and conditioning staff have done a great job with him to get him ready to return and now it is time for him to take the next step. We will monitor him over the next two days in training but at this stage we are confident he will play some part on Friday night.” [/i

Slightly worried about Senior now, he's missing more that he's playing.

Surprised no McShane

but ??? we have already won 4

Not too good. I'd assumed that he was more rested than injured against Wire.

Quite, two of which we looked like losing.



Maybe this week against a team in a bit of form, for a change?

Chillax. Webb's return means Smith will save the day

Do we think it will be Smith and Ablett for the Centre Spots then with A.N Other (Watkins or Gibson) on the Bench? Thats presuming Webb starts aswell. If he doesn't presumably it will be Smith at FB with Ablett and either Gibson or Watkins in at centre? Would t'other be on the bench aswell because if so, that means 2 of your bench spots are taken by Webb and a centre? Shame there isn't much room for McShane in there too I thought he played really well at the Weekend....

It looks like selling his medal hasn't gone down too well afterall?



If it happens it will be nice to see a number 3 playing at right centre for Leeds. Takes me back to when Syd Hynes were a lad.

I would say Webb will probably be on the bench to start with. Leaving the team as;

3.Smith
2.Donald
23.Watkins
18.Ablett
5.Hall
6.McGuire
7.Burrow
8.Leuluai
14.Diskin
10.Peacock
11.JJB
12.Lauitiiti
13.Sinfield

16.Bailey
19.Burgess
17.Kirke
1.Webb

I'd go with

Smith
Donald
Watkins
Gibson
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Lueluai
Diskin
Peacock
JJB
Kirke
Sinfield

Webb
Bailey
Ablett
Ali

Webb can come on as fullback for spells, and can get into dummy half when diskin is off. I'm disappointed that Burgess is not in there though, but I struggle to fit all our forwards in. Heaven help us if eastwood ever gets his lardy @rse over here.

Prefer Ari's team out of the two. When Webb comes on Ablett can slot in to the forwards.
