With Jamie and Burgess out, who do you think your four Props will be?
I am sad that Jamie in particular is out he is a fantastic player and a pleasure to watch.

Bailey, Leulaui, Eastwood and possibly JJB.

Kylie,Bailey,Eastwood and either Jjb,Kirke or Ali may do a stint there.

Is Eastwood big enough for Prop?
I have only seen him on the telly and whilst he is a great player he doesn't look like a prop.

Your kidding right?

played well there for the dogs and has had his 2 best games for Leeds at prop.

So in that position he can play.

Morally I'm torn with this guy's possible inclusion.

He more than matched a big Dragons pack last week and will handle it again on saturday no worries.

Why????

He is a 23 year old who has moved to the other side of the world, missing his family , friends etc plus he has spent part of the season injured which would have been miserable for him.

Look logic de-notes he plays, as we are short at prop.

But if he was to get the nod over Clarkson lets say, it just wouldn't sit well with me.

Blood, sweat and graft should earn selection. Enough said.

Even lesser impressive players like Kirke I would select ahead of him. As are at Leeds and want to play for Leeds.

Do you snub a long standing player for Eastwood who hasn't been that good for us? Who won't be here next year?

And then take into account the Show Pony side - yeah he can pull a play out of the hat but he is prone to mistakes and sloppy stuff. So he's a mixed bag.

So picking a loose canon over a committed Steady Eddie could be a game breaker.

Tough call.

Peacock will play.

It's all mind games.

Wouldnt surprise me if he did.

Although after him limping around the Calverly arms over the weekend must be oscar nomination material then from the big man.

He's been told to limp.

Ahh. I understand.

One hand washes the other.

yes.

Yeah, course you would Greg, when there's the glory of the cup final up for grabs. Hypocritical t0sser. Such a shame we really need him this Saturday.

Get a grip - the lads homesick, not unwilling to play for us.

Nice one line summary.

Again you know how I feel.

Not saying I dissagree or that you normally have a different opinion, but certain posters usually post a different reasoning to that.

Normally it does not matter what form they are displaying as long as they have proved themselves on the big stage previously. Shame the same reasoning can't be apllied here, just because a player wants to be thousands of miles away.

The club have absolutely no choice with regards this player playing this weekend, even if Peacock was fit and playing. You are only going to win with your best 17 players, and this is something the club really wants.

I’m with you on this one as well. Canadian Ice Hockey legend Bobby Baun once played in a match with a broken ankle. Even with just one ankle available, he was far more superior than the rest of the players on the ice rink and went on to score the game winning goal, in overtime of the Stanley Cup finals.

Kirk Gibson, Jack Youngblood, Kerri Strug and Steve Yzerman all have similar storeys of playing through pain to be in the game. If Peacock wanted to play then he probably could but I think Leeds Rhinos are more botherd about player welfare these days than they used to be..

Waits for McLaren_Field’s big daft lads theory to approve of this..

His attitude towards getting picked for the big game on Saturday doesn't smack of homesickness. I think you are the one who needs to get a grip and stop being niaive about what is really going on with your "hero".

Homesick my arris.

Whatever, you're entitled to your opinion. I just think you're being far to harsh on the lad.

The problem is, few fans actually do really know what is going on. I imagine a few may have heard a snippet of gossip around Headingley and may think they know what is going on, but I doubt anyone who regularly posts on here knows the full story.

When I left the UK for a month's holiday it was all Beastwood this and Beastwood that, and he was even being touted by some as a future Man of Steel. When I returned a few weeks ago he's a suddenly a poor player, not fit to wear the shirt, and he's being booed by sections of the southstand.

I'm sure there is more to the situation than him just being homesick, and I'd imagine while he was recovering from one of his injuries he may have been approached by NRL clubs showing an interest. Even if he does go in the end and hasn't fitted in at Headingley for whatever reason, I have no reason to doubt his commitment to Leeds for this season at least (unless someone can provide evidence to the contrary). He's one of our better players this season when fit, why should he miss out on an important game?

It may yet transpire that Greg has a change of heart and decides to stay at Leeds (or is forced to do so contractually) - does this mean he is to be treated as a leper for the next two years?

nothing for warrington to fear with them 4.

good job leeds will pick 17 players to play on saturday then isnt it.
