Not sure when the 19 man squads are announced but Ablett has served his ban and Jjb faces a fitness test.
I'd go with..
Briscoe
Handley
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sutcliffe
Sinfield
Singleton
R.Ward
JP
Ablett
Delaney
S.Ward

Mulhern
Bailey
Walters
Clarkson/Jjb.

You missed Kirke. Come on, you know it is going to happen.

I don't doubt it I was posting who I would select with Leuluai getting a rest and Kirke ditched.

Good time to play Widnes. They're dropping off and they might be thinking about the semi (even though there's alot of rugby to be played before). Leeds improved last week despite the failure to get the 2 points. At widnes usually high scoring games, so i expect Leeds to tear them to pieces.

I suppose it depends if his tights are at hand. Otherwise might not fancy it anyway.

With their schedule and two hammerings then we can make a few changes I think, I'd even rest Sinfield (if McGuire is fit). Not sure about Briscoe going to FB, if they want to try a youngster back there just make it a straight swap. Save Leuluai and Delaney for next week against an always physical Catalans side.

BJB
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall
McGuire
Sutcliffe
Singleton
R.Ward
Peacock
Ablett
Walters
S.Ward

Mulhern
Bailey
Minchella
L.Briscoe (thought he did ok last week so why not another crack, shouldn't be asking R.Ward to do the full 80)

Leeds with a decent record of scoring lots of points against Widnes in recent years, Widnes playing their 3rd game in 8 days, and playing terribly, Leeds with a couple of players back after a improved performance last week... So I think it's safe to say Widnes will win by 4 points

Kirke doesn't fancy it most weeks.

But from what he said earlier in week (see below) looks like he may be wearing 2 pairs of his heavy denier tights.

“I am not a big fan of their rubber pitch,” he admitted. “But we’ve got to play on it and they have to play on it every other week, so it is just one of those things."

Bless.

Did anyone read about that competition for the sports nutrition company that took place early this week, or last?

Kirke represented Rugby League in a series of challenges. Against a weight lifter, a gymnast, and several other sports.

He came last. However, he was happy with his performance.

JJB and Aiton return this week.

But Kirke had the bestest quadmass and diet.

Good to see Aiton back, think he will be a key player for us during the run in.

Hopefully JJB is not being rushed back.He should also be made to earn his place in the starting 13 too as before his injury he wasnt at his best and made a few bad calls in defence. I'm sure he will be straight back in though.

2. Ben Jones-Bishop
20. Tom Briscoe
3. Kallum Watkins
4. Joel Moon
5. Ryan Hall
13. Kevin Sinfield
6. Danny McGuire
8. Kylie Leuluai
29. Robbie Ward
10. Jamie Peacock
11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan
12. Carl Ablett
15. Brett Delaney

9. Paul Aiton
16. Ryan Bailey
21. Liam Sutcliffe
23. Brad Singleton

I'm looking forward to seeing Aiton back. I've been really impressed by Robbie Ward though. I hope he continues to be involved (not necessarily every week) as the season goes on.

Definitely think Robbie Ward should keep his place at least until Burrow is back

Nice surprise to see Aiton back hopefully he can kick on now without any interuptions.
As for Jjb I wouldn't start him anyway nowadays my BR when every ones fit would be Achurch ,Abblett and Delaney.
Also id definitely retain R.Ward in the 17.

Only my opinion, but I was more impressed with Briscoe than Ward last week, and if an experienced hooker is back like Aiton, would have been glad to have seen him have another shot at the side. Just to see if there is something there.

Yeah R.Ward has to stay in until Burrow returns really, unnecessary to run with only one hooker especially one whose not played for around 3 months. Think Walters might as well get a crack to start (same situation JJB shouldn't be asked to start from a long lay off). Still tempted to rest Sinfield for this one, if not I can't see a place for Sutcliffe in the 17 if McGuire is fit.

Missing out - Kirke and one of Sutcliffe/Sinfield

I'd go with:
1. Jones-Bishop
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. McGuire
8. Leuluai
9. Ward, R
10. Peacock

12. Walters
13. Delaney

14. Sutcliffe
15. Aiton
16. Singleton
17. JJB

I don't think JJB should be brought straight back. From what I've read, he's hardly done any running in training or contact work. We saw last year the detrimental effect of bringing people back early.

I'd also like to see Kylie given a rest and Singleton the chance to start. He seems to do better when he's in the run on team and at some point we need to start preparing for the loss of Kylie and JP.

Walters has earned the opportunity of a start after his performances since he came in.

Ridiculous decision with some of the pee-easy games coming up.

The way we are playing at the moment, these so called "pee-easy" games are potential banana skins.

Not as much as today's. Unless they're injured we should have had a full team out.
