For me i'd go with..
Hardaker
Bjb
Keinhorst
Ablett
Hall
Ward
Burrow
Bailey
Lunt
Moore
Delaney
Jjb
Sinfield

Singleton
JP
Hood
Hauraki/Griffin

McGuire out for a few weeks at most, Brent Webb could be out for about six weeks. quick turn around of 48 hours after the tough Exiles game but hopefully all goes well... I wouldnt play Peacock, he looked poor today and i think doubling up will be too much for him

Hardaker;
BJB, Keinhorst, Ablett, Hall;
Ward, Burrow;
Bailey, Lunt, Griffin;
Jones-Buchanan, Delaney;
Sinfield

Singleton, Moore, Hauraki, Hood

He won't wanna miss out on Wakey, Cas and London.

A dozen swan-diving opportunities there, at least.

I wouldn't bring back Lee Smith, [ibut[/i BJB really does not inspire much confidence - in defence particularly. He looks more fragile than Scott Donald without his magical try scoring abilities



Maybe we do need that new Aussie winger after all....I'd certainly now give Chisholm his opportunity.

1. Hardaker
2. BJB
3. Ablett
4. Hall
5. Chisholm
6. Sinfield
7. Burrow
8. Leuluai
9. Lunt
10. Griffin
11. JJB
12. Delaney
13. Ward

14. Smith
15. Moore
16. Bailey
17. Hauraki

Sinfield definately needs resting. More than most. Give the lad a break.

Thought Clarkson and Lunt went well last night so would definately keep them starting, although Clarkson may well end up playing full game for knights.

Break up our dreadful backrow though please.

Something's gotta give with the centres. You can't play backrowers there. With Hardaker getting a shot at fullback (although maybe it might be Watson against Wakey with Hardaker back to centre). How lucky we were last night when Webb went off injured, could have been an enormous score against without that.

I actually fancy our chances for the first time in a long time, only Rob Burrow to worry about. The rest are has been gash.

I would expect Peacock, Hall, Sinfield and Burrow to be involved with the England squad, and Hardaker, Clarkson and Lunt to be involved with the knights. From those I would rest Peacock and Sinfield as both look frankly knackered. That would leave us with:

Hardaker
BJB
L Smith
Ablett
Chisolm
Ward
Burrow
Leuluai
Lunt
Griffin
JJB
Delaney
Bailey

Moore
Hauraki
Singleton
D Smith

Would agree with that, although i would possibly switch Hall and BJB over to defensivley strengthen the right wing and give take a little pressure of Keinhorst.
Maybe even give Chisolm a run?!

Absolutely agree with this...well apart from naming Lee Smith at RC. Keinhorst instead please.

Most of all though can we have a new coach first and foremost: one that can show us some ideas manifested out on the field of play.

4. Zak Hardaker
2. Ben Jones-Bishop
14. Lee Smith
12. Carl Ablett
5. Ryan Hall
25. Stevie Ward
7. Rob Burrow
8. Kylie Leuluai
31. Shaun Lunt
20. Darrell Griffin
11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan
15. Brett Delaney
13. Kevin Sinfield

10. Jamie Peacock
16. Ryan Bailey
19. Weller Hauraki
21. Richard Moore

If we didn't have players involved with England and possibly having to double up and with Webb & McGuire expected to be out injured i would go for,

Hardaker
BJB
Ablett
Keinhorst
Hall
Ward
Burrow
Leuluai
Sinfield
Griffin
JJB
Delaney
Bailey

Lunt, Moore, Peacock, Hauraki

Peacock will definately play for England though and unable to double up so i'd like to Singleton on the bench in his place.

Hardaker
Hall
Keinhorst
Ablett
Chisolm
Ward
Burrow
Leuluai
Lunt
Bailey
Delaney
JJB
Singleton

Moore
Griffin
Hood
Hauraki

Hardaker (worth another go even though he still wont pass to his winger)
BJB
Hall (yes at centre on the right)
Kleinhorst
Chisholm
Ward
Burrow
Bailey
Lunt
Griffin
JJB
Delaney
Ablett
Might look risky but gives us a chance to try out different players and different positions in a game we should win no direspect to Wakefield of course.

I think I must be the only person who can remember Lee Smith playing well at Ful Back. It's his best position by a mile. With Webb out he should be given a chance in his best position, if he makes a fist of it he should be there next season, if he doesn't then P45 and I will accept I have got it completely wrong.

Just to warn you, we beat Huddersfield on the weekend of the Exiles game last year. Not that I am saying it'll happen again against you like.

TBH mate if we continue to pick the same pack and play Sinfield at 6. Then you might just beat us too. I hope Amor has a stormer.

Personally, I wouldn't be asking any of those who get game time with England or the Knights to back up.

If that means promoting a number of the Under 20s en masse then so be it. There's more to be gained from that than asking the frankly demoralised looking same old faces to play twice in 48 hours.

All 6 Leeds players picked for the England 17.

Setting aside whether they should have picked or not, only realistic to see Burrow (who's on the bench) and maybe Hall double up for the Wakefield game, though I do half expect Peacock and Sinfield to continue to be flogged like dray horses by their coach.

As for the team selection, it always seems to be the fringe/unestablished that end up being dropped or out of the 17/19.

Smith/BJB/Wellar/Griff/Clarkson/Kirke/Moore?McShane/Pitts etc.

Now none of these are real 'difference makers'.

I don't mind these not being picked after poor performances but I would like to see braver none selection from Mac of the key cogs who aren't peforming. There has to be that integrity from the coach to stamp down who really is in charge.

My thoughts exactly
