is today, same day as the England football name their final squad for the World Cup, surely the RFL could have done better than that, what publicity will this get us?

On another note, which players do you think will be chosen from Leeds?

IMO - Lee Smith, Ryan Hall, Jamie Peacock, Carl Ablett, Kevin Sinfield, Jamie Jones Buchanan.

depending on who the publicity is through, i would have thought that announcing the england
team and drawig the CC semi finals could have been done in teh same 30 minutes, give some blanket coverage for RL.

I'd be surprised to see JJB in there. Not sure what he would have done to deserve a call up, more chance of someone like Joel Tomkins being in there in honesty.

I would have thought definately Peacock, Sinfield and Hall. I really hope Ablett gets in, but I'm not sure.

I don't think JJB or Smith will get picked.

Squad chosen

No Smith, JJB or Ablett. Ablett is very disappointing - thought he deserved it.

A surprise that McGuire is in there.

Mcguire has been one of if not the best player for us this year.

So we will be most weakened out of anyone else, great.

£10 for a ticket is a bargain. I know that the RFL will be emailing me shortly now that the squad has been announced, just a shame they havent been letting me know for the last few weeks that tickets were so well priced.

Never thought about that

. We play Harlequins that weekend. Not sure if that will make any difference with a weakened squad though.

The loss of 4 players for the London trip is all that concerns me. What will we learn from this meaningless game

It will make a difference guaranteed. We will look very light without Mcguire, Sinfeild, peacock and Hall. With also possible injuries still like Lauitiiti. For a start, who would play in the halfs?

Apologies, went by Superleague site fixtures.

When I read that, why did I think of you?

Curious from Lincoln.

How's Lynch not got in? Is McBanana protecting the Bulls by any chance? Can't see Widdop being allowed to travel over though.
