For us

Wellens and Roby definitely playing
Long and Wheeler 50/50

any news on your team?

Everything hush hush untill Friday imo.
Id think we would walk out with:

Webb, Donald, Watkins, Senior, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Diskin, Peacock, Ablett, Jones Buchanan, Sinfield.

Buderus, Burgess/Bailey, Kirke, Gibson/Allan

Light the blue touch paper........

Stand back.......

Run for your lives.........

......The Most Feared Man In Super League.........will be destroying.

Don't say you haven't been warned.

I'd like to see Gibson in front of Watkins for this fixture. At this stage of their careers he seems the more solid option. And the team who makes the least errors will probably win, and for that reason also I'd leave Allan out if it's possible. Last time round he missed far too many tackles. I'm not going to write the lad off like some, but he wouldn't make my 17 on Sunday.

THought Wellens was out. Oh well. I'm sure you'll be at pretty much full strength

You have taken the 50/50 option so i will phone a friend.

Apparently his knee needs a clear-out, but he's holding off surgery until the Easter fixture list is over.

I doubt it will effect his speed off the mark. I wonder what will happen if he's gets a huge hit at knee level, should that be deemed 'reckless', 'illegal' or 'too rough'?

THE Bailey cares not for this.



Send im in.

When Bailey joins the game, blood will spill, one way or another. I feel. It's deffo gonna boil over, but Leeds need to remember that winning the cup tie is the objective on Sunday aft. Maybe Leeds can suck Saints into the sledging, but it's a dangerous tactic after current goings-on and it will only work if Leeds can keep their cool. Bluey has said in the YEP this aft that they WILL win the penalty count. They'll need to, I think.

Think Leeds are really up for this game.. Blueys had them training at Headingley Carnegie at 4.30pm to get them use to playing around that time.

So they should be. It's gonna be a cracking cup-tie. Can't see many points being posted.

I'm also up for this game...................

....Was it raining?

As much as you like to talk up the weather it wasn't raining in 07 when we destroyed you at HQ and at OT.

70-0 hottest day of the year IIRC

I was the only one in the southstand in a saints jersey that day.

By the time the sun dropped over the Western Terrace it was 38-0 before I even saw the ball!

I'd go:

1 Brent Webb
2 Scott Donald
20 Ashley Gibson
4 Keith Senior
5 Ryan Hall
6 Danny McGuire
7 Rob Burrow
8 Kylie Leulaui
14 Matt Diskin
10 Jamie Peacock
11 Jamie Jones-Buchanan
17 Ian Kirke
13 Kevin Sinfield

9 Danny Buderus/ 18 Carl Ablett
12 Ali Lauitiiti
16 Ryan Bailey
19 Luke Burgess

Do you know something we don't?

I put him in the team that i think too mate.

TBH mate I'd be really surprised to see his name on the team sheet come Friday

I'm not sure if you have to name your team 48 hours before the game. IIRC that rule only applies for Superleague games.

i think bluey will go with the following 17.

1 Brent Webb
2 Scott Donald
18 Carl Ablett
4 Keith Senior
5 Ryan Hall
6 Danny McGuire
7 Rob Burrow
8 Kylie Leulaui
14 Matt Diskin
10 Jamie Peacock
11 Jamie Jones-Buchanan
17 Ian Kirke
13 Kevin Sinfield

9 Danny Buderus/23 Kallum Watkins
12 Ali Lauitiiti
16 Ryan Bailey
19 Luke Burgess

Agreed - I think Ablett will be at centre on sunday.

I think Webb may be out as he was all iced up at the end of the last game.

I agree also. I think it'll be:

Webb
Donald
Ablett
Senior
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Kylie
Diskin
Peacock
JJB
Kirke
Sinfield

Ali
Bailey
Burgess
Gibson

I don't think Watkins will get a look in this week. Gibson's defence is better and I think he'd be the sensible option. As for Buderus I can't see it.
